Opponents of concealed carry say there are relatively few students who are behind the movement. "What we're hearing is that they do not want guns on campus," said Chad Ramsey, spokesman for the Brady Campaign, a gun control advocate in Washington. "There is a smattering of Second Amendment activists out there. But I don't think there is a major grassroots effort among students — I think most students have been advocating the other side of the fence."
Uh huh. Sure. Kind of like when the Brady Campaign claimed that the SCCC was organized and financed by the 'gun lobby'?
The SCCC has over 37,000 members with groups on dozens of campuses in almost every state. All organized by students and former students.
The Brady Campaign claims on membership vary but are usually about 50K and has been seeing their support steadily erode over the last 15 years with turnout at their demonstrations in the double digits at best. The group "Gun Free Kids" in contrast IS funded and organized by the Nat'l anti-gun groups and has far fewer members and has far fewer clubs around the nation.
Who has a 'smattering' of activists again?

Lemme see if I got this straight.
Within approximately 3 years, SCCC secures 37,000 members and is growing.
It has taken the Brady Bunch 30 years to secure 50,000 members and is shrinking.
Chad Ramsey is pointing out how tiny SCCC is.
I have vodka in the freezer at home.
yep
It is always amusing how organizatoins like the Brady Bunch never bother to provide numbers to back up their specious claims...
I would LOVE to be present at one of their rallys, just to stand up and shout that he's a liar.
I'm a pot-stirrer, that I am.
