Gun protestors - 8. Gunnies - thousands.

We're winning on numbers, but the reporting is always on the protesters.

At least this story seems balanced, and the protesters show up as lamebrains.

Gun control advocates protest gun show

Protestors demonstrate at gun show
WICHITA, Kansas - Gun enthusiasts left the Metcalf Gun Show with their hands filled with new weapons and ammunition Saturday.

"I'm kind of a collector,” said Sterling Gorges. “It's just a good time to get out and see what's all out there."

Nearby, protestors' hands were filled with signs arguing for more gun control, using the gun show to get their message out.

"We're not trying to take anybody's guns away, but we are trying to make the community safer,” said Michael Poage, the protest organizer.

About a dozen protestors stood on the sidewalk at Douglas Street, showing their signs to drivers passing by.

“I think it makes people stop and think about how serious this whole gun law loop hole thing is and how we need stricter gun laws in Kansas and in the United States,” said Janie Cook, a protestor.

The group of protestors is standing on four arguments in the gun control debate.

Among them, repealing the concealed carry law in Kansas, and restricting the sale of extended ammunition magazines.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Same lame arguments - repeal a law that has not increased violence, but has prevented many crimes, pass another feel good law that the bad guys will ignore. Same old same old.

Notice how eight protesters - count 'em - becomes "a dozen" in reporter-counting?
