Dave Workman: Second Amendment Supporters Crowd Olympia, Puyallup

Depending upon whose estimate one accepts, anywhere from 1,000 to perhaps 1,800 Second Amendment activists turned out for a midday rally opposing Initiative 594 in Olympia Saturday, while the Washington Arms Collectors’ monthly gun show at the Puyallup Fairgrounds drew a couple of thousand more looking for pre-Christmas deals, and answers to questions about the state's new, and confusing, gun law.

In neither location did anybody stop traffic, smash windows or clash with police. Nobody was arrested. Nobody got hurt. A handful of people in Olympia burned their concealed pistol licenses at the end of the event. Protest organizer Gavin Seim posted a video of the event online.

The Olympia gathering was covered by local television. As an example of the fallout, more than 825 comments had been made on the KOMO website reacting to its coverage.

As scheduled, Mike Vanderboegh of Alabama, founder of the so-called "Three Percent" movement and author of the "Sipsey Street Irregulars" blog, spoke to the crowd. However, Nevada rancher Ammon Bundy was a no-show. But national radio talk host Mike Siegel, did appear.
