"You can't take my guns away"

I encountered this small demonstration at the Louisiana state capitol today. They were hoping for more people--a little unrealistic as today there are Homecoming football games at both LSU and Southern University.

Great image.

Great capture for "local event". Yes, I think they needed more attendance to make a strong statement.

Your captured it well, not much of a crowd.. it tells you not to plan a demonstration when there are homecoming football games and on.

I guess it's hard to schedule any kind of demonstration in the South with football season in full swing! I think you folks are some of the most committed college football fans I can think of! But I think a small statement is better than no statement at all. Good shot.

Football is huge. I guess they should have planned for another day and time

Looks like football is more important :)

I'm a bit slow this morning as I've only just realized that this is the same building as yesterday's shot. A bright sunny day made sombre by the demonstration and all the the shades of opinions and emotions that the subject raises. Nicely captured.
