True. Though as someone else here points out, there is no publicity value in countering leftist protests because of the treatment they are guaranteed to get in corporate news reports. I can see the headlines: "Gun Advocates Violently Attack Peaceful Demonstrators" "NRA Mob Explodes."

Personally speaking, I'd like to see some counter demonstrations go violent. It would give me great vicarious pleasure to see a tub of grease like the one in the photo get her head bashed in or her nose broken by a stalwart, manly , gun-toting lesbian.
