Patriots Day Gun Rallies

I wrote yesterday about the April 19, 2010 gun rallies in Washington, DC, the Second Amendment March and the armed Restore the Constitution rally. Today, I'm linking to stories and essays about those rallies. I'll add more as I encounter them.

Reports are that 2,000 to 3,000 showed up at the Washington Monument and about 50 were at the armed rally in Virginia, nearly outnumbered by reporters (but those 50 were "the cream of the crop").
