[Vision2020] guns, guns, guns

[Gary Crabtree]

If it pleases you to imagine that I have something to gain by being less
than truthful about my attendance that's fine. A more productive use of
your time however might be to refute me on substance. Since you claim to
have documented each and every nuance of the gathering, please produce the
documentation that gives lie to my statements about the counter protest.
Show us the intimidation, the disruptive behavior, or absolutely anything
other than a quiet, respectful voice in favor of second amendment rights.
Your photos have already proven my contention as to the crowd size. Even my
generous guess of 50 seems to be greatly inflated.
