numbers

How do the numbers today compare to the 6th for those of us not able to make it? THanks.

It's very hard to say. The building is big, there are multiple overflow rooms and multiple panels going on in the building. Delegate Dwyer estimated there were about 500 antis at their rally and I think we definitely dwarfed them by a considerable margin. But we can always use more people.

Good, but not as good. I got in line at 0745 and was about 20 deep. Still a line outside waiting to get in. Not a long line, but a line.

I'm told that the rally for the antis is/was a bust with very low attendance. That is second hand info, but...

500 is 10x more than what I was told.

Meanwhile, we're up to 830 testifying against the bill versus 20 for it as of last count in the real-time thread. Ha!

While this is definitely good news, I'll be surprised if it has any real impact.

Sadly I agree. We could have ten thousand show up to testify and they'd still vote for the bill. But you never know... up to 867 against as well.

At around 1030 there appeared to be around 500 antis at their rally from what I could see

Several hundred gun control folks outside.

But prolly no more than 50 in the House.

And the Fire Marshall has cut the line off, only letting people is as others come out.

Picture of the anti rally, maybe 400 and they all went home already.

Hope things are going well, wish I could be there.

They got bussed back to their day jobs panhandling on the streets of liberal counties.
