Arkansas Pro-Gun rally.

The local NBC affiliate did a very short bit on a pro-gun rally at the State Capital in Little Rock. The reporter read that "hundreds" turned out. From the video, I'd say maybe two or three hundred.

There were 3,500 to 4,000 at the Little Rock March for Our Lives. My report from that afternoon.

Remember, this is Arkansas I'm talking about. The gun nuts do not out number us.

the contrast between this one and MFOL is very heartening indeed.

We got a woman running for Governor who owns a shooting range. There was some talk early on of Democrats crossing over to vote for her thinking it would be a poison pill. Cooler heads prevailed with the recognition that if she was to win the Repub. primary she would win the election.

No shit! This really her.

Daylight seems to unnerve the cellar dwellers. There's usually a couple that completely lose it.

I think they kept tonight's coverage short to keep people from realizing how few people showed.
