A Friday press release from Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America promised "hundreds" of gun safety advocates would rally with Shannon Watts, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) in Atlanta, protesting the NRA's "extremist" agenda. As Bob Owens at Bearing Arms reported, the crowd was almost nonexistent.

The @MomsDemand / @Everytown protest at #NRAAM2017 is clearly exciting. Security estimates just 75-100 attendees. pic.twitter.com/FvYxtL0sVo — Bob Owens (@bob_owens) April 29, 2017

Unwilling to admit defeat, Watts tweeted a picture designed to show a much larger crowd.

Per security at the park, actual count was 75-100. @MomsDemand ALWAYS grossly inflates their actual attendance. #NRAAM2017 pic.twitter.com/8B6ugZF5mh — Bob Owens (@bob_owens) April 29, 2017

Owens reports that they even tried to get homeless people in the park to wear their t-shirts.

WTH? Did nannie bloomers checks not show up in time to pay the grass roots protestors? Even free t-shirts couldn't rally a crowd? Better luck next time HAGs.

I was at the NRA Convention. Hundreds and hundreds of those evil, black assault guns the Left hates were there.

I can report that not one gun shot anyone. They all stayed where they were supposed to.

I think moms should demand a day at the spa. Demand all kinds of stuff. Just demand it. I wonder how they’ll handle their kids demanding stuff too. Like not having to listen to anything their parents tell them.

I know what you mean. Liberals love to an An SUV caused a fatal highway collision today..’’ as if SUVs were a living predatory thing. I drive by car dealerships all the time day and night and the SUVs seem to always be there, not moving, not lurking about.

[who knows what evil?]

Are these women any relation to the ‘Women for Action’ marching here and there yesterday?

[ronnie raygun]

Moms demand, send them to the inner cities where the thug life style gang shootings and black youth deaths are prevalent, talk to them see how far you get

[ConservaTeen]

The moms didn't show up? I'm disappointed...

Do I need a /s?

Something tells me the Antifa thugs didn’t want to face an armed adversary.

After the Columbine 'incident', the NRA meeting was in Denver. The local news talked about 'thousands' of 'protestors'.

Turned out those people were just there for the Cinco de Mayo parade.

[caseinpoint]

These protest marches are becoming the 2017 version of car alarms: so ubiquitus no one even hears them anymore.

[ConservaTeen]

You mean a gun didn’t start shooting at people? We were at a gun show and guns didn’t shoot anyone there either. The guns might have been lazy...

Georgia is a really crappy place to protest guns. Everybody carries.

Moms demand photoshop to increase their numbers.

[GailA]

This MOM DEMANDS ALL 50 STATES MOVE TO THE TEXAS STYLE EXECUTION SYSTEM ASAP! LIKE TODAY! THEN LINE THEM UP BY THE DOZEN AND START INJECTING THEM WITH ASSISTED SUICIDE DRUGS ALL AT ONCE.

SHORT OF THAT I’LL TAKE A 21 MAN FIRING SQUAD TO DO IT.

[Celtic Conservative]

What if they had a riot and nobody came?

Hahahaha!

Black guns matter!

The photo of the passed out bum in the middle of the park is priceless.
