After a stop in Albuquerque to get a haircut, I finally reached home a little while ago after attending the Second Amendment Rally at the Roundhouse (State Capitol Building) in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The rally drew a big attendance. I thought it looked like 2,000 people there, while some trolls pegged it at 200-300 (probably wanting to aid the Governor and Democrats in under-estimating the turnout so they have an "excuse" not to listen). It was certainly a lot more than 300.
Well, the actual number was probably somewhere in-between. Nevertheless, it was a great turnout of people who are adamant about preserving their Second Amendment rights.
The speakers included Stefani Lord of Pro-Gun Women and Pro-Gun New Mexico; Zachary Fort, President of the New Mexico Shooting Sports Association; Tony Mace, Cibola County Sheriff, and President of The New Mexico Association of Sheriffs; and many others.
The rally was held to oppose the Bloomberg-bought Democrat legislature and Governor's plan to enact a "red flag" law in New Mexico.
Despite chilly temperatures (it was around 35° when the rally started), everyone who attended seemed to have a great time despite the seriousness of the reason for being there.
