None so blind…

From Jim Geraghty's Morning Jolt (that he sends via email to his subscribers) is this part that made me laugh:
Yesterday, a whole bunch of Second Amendment activists got together to hold protests in D.C. and Virginia -- armed in the Commonwealth, honoring local gun restrictions in the District -- and to the best of my knowledge and according to all reports, there were no incidents of violence.

I love this detail from the Post's coverage: "[Lauren Austen, who lives nearby in Mount Vernon] and her husband and her friend, Martina Leinz, were the lone three counter-protesters. 'We wanted to show,' Leinz said, 'that this is a very tiny group of fringe extremists focused on a radical ideology.'"

I suppose you could argue that nothing screams "The other guys are the tiny fringe" like three people coming out and screaming "The other guys are the tiny fringe."
