I counted 24 counter-protest (anti-gun) signs being held by folks with the other point of view. Rough parity I'd say so this wasn't a slam dunk for the VCDL by any means. If the VCDL can't round up a BIG crowd before their planned Virginia Tech rally, this campaign is going to turn out to be an embarrassment for the organization IMO.
@02840 I would say you have a serious lack of mathematical skills. There were 31 members who actually signed the attendance sheet and many more who just showed up. We didn't stand in a picket line but mingled with the students on campus in several groups. No one said it was a slam dunk. The embarrassment was the other side who had identical signs, chanted inane slogans, had NO literature to hand out, were rude to several of our members, and stood in a picket line not engaging anyone.

Interesting background commentary. Does having grey hair disqualify one from being a student at ODU?
