In reply to the discussion: 1000s rally in Albany to oppose NY SAFE Act. [View all]jimmy the one

'Estimates' are usually inflated by proponents of a rally, & include passersby & momentarily intrigued people who are otherwise disinterested in the cause celebre'. This took place in albany (not sure if capitol areas), the capital of new york state, & would likely get a lot of look-ins attracted more by the commotion rather than to show support for the gunnutted cause.
link: A counter-protest was originally scheduled by supporters of New York's new gun law, who argue something needed to be done to curb gun violence. That protest was cancelled due to concerns of safety.
Quelle surprise, you got the guns, they got the numbers.
However, organizers say multiple groups are planning a massive gun safety rally in New York City for late March. That event is also expected to draw thousands of people.
Gun control rallies hold the records for turnout, far greater than the highest gunnut rodeos.
