A crowd of hundreds braved a punishing winter wind
Sunday to demonstrate on the front steps of the magnificent Rhode Island State
House in support of second-amendment rights. The rally, which I covered for
The Providence Journal, was one of 50 such
planned for every state by
Gun Rights Across America.
Scenes from the rally:
 |
| Atop the State House dome stands The Independent Man, a monument to Roger Williams, father of Rhode Island, first in America to espouse freedom of speech and religion |
 |
| A broader shot of the rally |
 |
| Exercising 1st Amendment rights. |

| Another view. |

| The State House steps are popular for wedding photos. This party posed before the gun-rights rally began. What a bitterly cold day to marry! |
