A Brady Campaign news release headline claiming that "huge" crowds turned out across America for anti-gun protests on Tuesday was both false and misleading, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said this week. The [Brady bunch] news release went out over the national PR Newswire service Tuesday evening at 9:56 p.m., Eastern Time.

"Careful analysis of news coverage, or the lack of it in the 24 hours following the Tuesday protests, confirm that these events were pretty much a bust," said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. "The biggest crowds reported were 'about 200' people bused to an event at Lake Barrington, Illinois, and another in Philadelphia. A Maryland protest outside a District Heights gun shop drew about 60 demonstrators, and one at Seattle's Green Lake Park attracted two people who spent 32 seconds lying on the grass. And this was supposed to be a 'huge' event? That gives a whole new definition of the term 'lie-in' that was used to describe this protest.
