Some 1,000 gun owners rallied Tuesday at the state Capitol in Harrisburg to protect their Second Amendment right to bear arms.
Many of the people attending the rally feel threatened by left-wing politicians like Barack Obama and Ed Rendell, who are pushing gun control measures.
The rally attracted John Sigler, the head of the National Rifle Association.
Interestingly, the Associated Press estimated that crowd at "hundreds" in its reporting instead of the 1,000 other media outlets counted.
It's not the first time the wire service has downplayed attendance at rallies that are not supported by the liberal media. Same thing happened with the Tea Parties tax protests on April 15, as well as property tax rallies and the rally to defend the 10th Amendment.
