We have heard for some time that there would be "large" anti-NRA demonstrations at the NRA meeting in Dallas, Texas . . . apparently one Dallas politician asked that the NRA be told to hold their meeting elsewhere. Yesterday evening (Friday) President Trump addressed the meeting, and a demonstration by "thousands" was promised.
I have been looking at likely mainstream sources (CNN, CBS, ABC, etc.) for news about such a demonstration and have come up empty. The most I have seen is an interview on local TV of ONE demonstrator who was against AR-15s because they were "violent". Has anyone else seen reports of a larger demonstration?

Here's one article.

There's no mention in the article about crowd size. At the very start of the video there is a one second view of the anti crowd. Possibly 100-200 people but very hard to say for sure.

A friend of mine has been there since yesterday - granted, he's been inside for both days, but at least upon arrival and departure each day, he hasn't seen anything with the exception of a couple of "ad cars" going around.

Thanks for the info . . . I saw on CBS News this evening that they had a demonstration this afternoon (maybe as many as we had at the Ohio Statehouse last month, maybe not). Looks like that Dallas politician was unnecessarily worried.

NBC 4 in Columbus ran a live aerial feed of the anti NRA demonstration today on facebook. It was cut after a few minutes. Not sure why it was cut, but this screen shot shows a light turnout.
Ignorant or Stupid, I'm not sure which is worse. If someone were stupid, at least they'd have an excuse for all the dumb things they say.
