New details show that NRA and gun lobby buses in and paid over 5000 people from neighboring states to make rally look bigger.

The total rally was estimated at about 14,000 people.

In perspective, 8.5 million people live in VA.

So less than 1 percent thought the new sensible gun laws where worth protesting. That's even with all the press the gun rally got. There are probably more than 14000 gun stores in VA so not even all the gun store owners showed up.

None of the gun laws are sensible, and be realistic. There's no way 8 million can fit at the Capitol. Virginia has 2 million gun owners. Not everyone can make a rally. Yet despite this, it was the largest rally in the history of the city of Richmond has ever had for anything.

The local Richmond TV station estimated 22,000. Still barely any turnout. Of course, by "Trumptard numbers" the crowd turnout is probably in the billions of billions with the largest crowd in the history of the US.
