I voted against the ban as well. Did anyone else notice that the photo they chose is completely anti? No pro-guns signs in that picture.

I noticed that when they originally ran their article on the protest. I noticed a similar trend after the ODU protest. I watched the 3 or 4 news report videos, and while most of the actual coverage was somewhat equal, every video was accompanied by a still shot of the antis and their signs. Despite the fact that the pro-gun rally was the main event and much larger, they hijacked the coverage to focus on the antis.

We'll take the publicity however we can get it. The people (readers/listeners) are no longer blindly accepting of negative spin. They've heard the same old tired ditties so often before and found them false. We are winning - "they" are losing.
