I am in Austin on a project - went to the convention on Saturday.

From the crowds I bet the 86,000 was the average attendance at any given moment - it was packed!!

This is a good thing all the way around, congress critters see this and know that the NRA is a power to be wary of pissing off, for us, it is a show of force of gun owners, for the antis, it shows them that we will not ever let them further erode the 2A and will put up the funds and needed sweat and blood to do so.
