"Hundreds" means thousands when it comes to gun-owners or tea parties. Much like "thousands" means dozens when it comes to some left-wing cause...

Gee, and nobody shot anyone?

Can you imagine all the leftists standing in line to demagogue this? Of course racists would be the first thing to pop in their "minds". Maybe the NRA paid all these people to show up since they have money to burn from the new memberships.

The TV footage of the rallies in Frankfort, Kentucky, never showed a picture of the entire crowd. All the shots were closeups and edge of the crowd scenes. There must have been a lot of people there. I haven´t heard about any mass shootings while all those gun owners were assembled, though.

Whoops, looks like Obama stirred up that sleeping giant. Nice move.

Yes, no doubt the LSM journalists will be engaged in cropping gone wild, to diminish perceived turnout.

It´s about time the poseur in chief and Oh no Cuomo met some resistance. They ain´t seen nothing yet.

So cops carrying in New York state, mitakenly omitted from any exclusion clause are now breaking the law? Citizens arrest time. ha ha.

The rally in Hartford, CT yesterday was well over a thousand, I would estimate closer to two thousand. The crowd was respectful, orderly, and a good cross-section of age groups, children to seniors. SeeBS local news Eyewitness TV3 said ´hundreds attended´ and showed video of those standing in the parking lot way to the rear of the main, packed crowd on the lawn in front of the Capitol steps. Very selective and deceptive depiction of how large the rally really was. NBC affiliate did show the main lawn, but in close ups and said one thousand attended. Both stations featured men and skipped showing the many seniors and families who attended. These TV stations did the same thing with our Tea Party rallies, reporting low crowd turnout when the truth was that they were crowded. Oh, I am so shocked!

Local media in Nashville reported 1,000. The gun show was so crowded we parked more than half a mile a way and waited in line 15 minutes just to get inside the door. My husband didn´t find what he wanted at the show, so we stopped at our local gun shop - wall to wall people inside. The owner said it has been that way every day they have been open since November, with many customers buying their first gun.

I did not go to any rally on Gun Appreciation Day. Rather, I went to my favorite gun store to pick up my new Arsenal AK-47.

I guess you would call that my own private celebration.

My daughter just found lots of photos of the rallies on Google by searching "Guns Across America". In states with open carry laws a lot of people showed up with their big scary looking "assault weapons" slung over their shoulders. It was a beautiful sight. And #2 is right - no one got shot.

Wasn´t it nice of AP to include a great big mail-in coupon to join the "anti assault weapons" petition?
How impartial of them.

"Authorities reported no problems at early rallies, which remained peaceful Saturday afternoon."

The above statement speaks volumes. The AssPress would just love to get a picture of a fight at a conservative event, any conservative event. We are not like the union goons and occupy-whatevers that can´t project a message without beating somebody up.

Good choice, #9. The AK hits hard and is accurate at a practical distance. It´s also trouble free.

A weapons ban petition below the article?

There´s no news here--no one was slaughtered as the MSM had hoped for.
Move on to the next NRA membership drive.
Good luck.
God Bless our Military Heroes!

Let me say up front that there is no doubt in my mind that Obama means to disarm us. That´s why gun control came up now. [Sandy Hook was just a convenient crisis; these hings happen about once/quarter, it seems.] Obama must disarm us to realize his dreams, one of which is to make presidential term limits a murky memory.

But I think what is happening now is more a probing for weakness on our side (a la Sun Tzu), or probing us and measuring our response, as in PARPRO.

PARPRO is the acronym given to Patrol Aircraft Reconnaissance Provocation. Put your assets in place, then violate the enemy´s airspace and measure his physical and electronic response. Lots of intel to be gathered this way; the Russians and Iranians do it to us all the time.

Sun Tzu puts it this way: "Therefore know the enemy’s plans and analyze their strengths and weaknesses. Provoke them to know the patterns of their movements. Determine their dispositions of force to know the terrain of death and of life. Probe them to know where they have strength, and where they are insufficient.”

Have you not noticed that we spend most of our tim reacting to Obams administration (and media) stimuli? We need to rock them by going on offense.

No, I am no more optimistic than I was on 11/7/2012. I am just a mildly-amused observer of the increasing rate of national decline.

And next weekend Walk For Life rallies with tens of thousands marching will be reported as gatherings of hundreds, too.

Eff the Eh Pee.

The MSM if a democrat or liberal rallie occur they are written up as tens of thousabds ,if republican or anti let the press writes as a few hunred and the doctor pictures the same way. Gobbles never died he is alive and well in the USA.

Hundreds?

Should seen it here, and I live in a small town. Must have been at least half of us.

If the rabbit-minded progressive media and government elite really thought support was in the hundreds, they´d already be going door-to-door on a confiscation mission.

Has anybody taken note of how fast all of these extensive recommendations were produced after the shooting? It makes one wonder if they had been prepared earlier for some earlier “crisis.” That earlier crisis could have been major gunrunning that put assault weapons in the hands of the Mexican drug cartels, resulting in wholesale murder and carnage in Mexico.

That crisis evaporated when it was revealed that ATF was responsible for this gunrunning in operation “Fast and Furious.”
For some reason, prohibiting the Federal government from conducting gunrunning operations was missing from the Obama recommendations.

When guns are outlawed, only Eric Holder will have guns.

#20, of course it was already prepared - remember zippy telling Sarah Brady that they were working on it "under the radar"?

Same with Odumboscare. Million page bill overnight. Right.

RE: #22 My point was not mearly that it was preprepared, it was that it probably was prepared for "Fast and Furious." That is, was it waiting for a crisis to come along or was a crisis being created for it?

The list WAS already prepared by one of Obama´s off-shoot organizations superheroes for America or whatever they call it. They had 23 items, but Obama only used 22.
Obama is going to slam us these next 4years. We all know that. Gun control, immigration, global warming you name it, he is going to provoke US. He also will go down as the WORST person to live in the WH ever.

Time to show a little muscle. Do not attend a movie or rent a movie. Blacklist the left with your pocketbook.
