These stories are missing the big picture.  Big picture being supporting the 2nd amendment and celebrating our rights Nationally.  These are unfortunate events and thank God no one was killed, but I wouldn't say that the people who came out to gun appreciation day did more harm than good.  Locally I think we had a good amount of people show up at the state capitol.

I don't mean it in the local sense, but it seems nationally through main stream media these are the things that most people will glean from gun appreciation day.

I guess it would depend on where you get your news.  Your right though, certain main stream media will put a negative spin on it.

Meanwhile 23 chefs accidentally cut themselves with cooking knives, 74 motorists accidentally crash their vehicles and die, 12 skateboarders accidentally skid their knees, and 6 children accidentally drown in bathtubs. Do criminals accidentally shoot up schools? No. These gun show accidents only cause more harm than good to those who have weak brains.

I don't believe there was more harm than good.   The whole USA and the amount of traffic at the shops, shows, ranges and rallys, something was going to happen, just the law of averages.    overall I think it helped us.   Plus a lot of people got to meet each other at the rally.
