For the sake of argument, I'm fine stipulating to your observation that there was no tea partying going on at your demonstration.
That said, I have to reiterate some of the spirit of squidb0i's response by asking what issue, exactly, do Second Amendment advocates see at the FEDERAL level that warrants demonstration? Despite the run on ammunition sparked by what can only objectively be called completely unfounded fears of coming gun restrictions, the Obama administration has not remotely endeared itself to the gun control community (http://www.bradycampaign.org/media/press/view/1214/), and seems entirely content to leave the question entirely up to the courts, state and municipalities to sort out.
Simply put, your fight isn't with the federal governmet at this point -- it's entirely with states and cities.
Why were you folk gathered in Washington?
