Twenty people show up to protest a vote? Anybody can rally twenty people to protest something.
Apparently, the gun control pushers couldn't.
I'm guessing some ammosexual got wind of the vote and brought some buddies to protest/speak while the sane citizens who actually value life and liberty over gun violence didn't attend.
A full reading of the article and related information ('due diligence', see dictionary) often leads to less 'guessing'. If you had, you'd see that the first meeting in which the issue came up, was on January 4, and that "The topic is on the council agenda on January 18th". But gee, that would mean having to acknowledge that gun control pushers had TWO WEEKS to rally support, yet came up Nix.
It is foolish to reach the conclusion that America is largely against these types of bills based on the turnout for this one meeting.
Its even more foolish to listen to conclusions about so called 'assault weapons' made by people that hate guns and the people that own them. For example:
There is absolutely no rational need for Joe Public to own an assault weapon.
There is no department of needs. This is a free society. Get over it. Or don't.
