AAR:
Summary: I believe the 594 supporters got their asses handed to them. They consistently demonstrated a poor understanding of their own law. They did not provide direct answers, and admitted they don't really know what's in the law as written.
Phil Shave is my new hero. I'm familiar with him from the WAC newsletter. We couldn't hope for a more articulate, well informed and well spoken representative. We are lucky he and Phil Watson represented our side tonight.
The crowd seemed to be split about evenly between 594 and 591 supporters. Our crowd was a bit more rambunctious - I asked the fellow next to me to tone it down a bit - and the moderator made mention as well. I estimate about 40 audience questions were fielded, and only about 4 of those were from 594 supporters.
If anyone recorded the live event, it would be fairly easy to edit a "best of" video, with Fascineti (sp?) saying things like "Transfer is very loosely defined", then having a narrator read the definition of transfer from the law.
Afterward all the gun guys hung out in the studio, the atmosphere was very lively and upbeat. The 591 594 folks had a small, self-conscious knot of people who kind of slunk out of the room with their tails between their legs.
