Patriots day would be a good day for a ralley, although its a wed., It would nice day to gather around our local state houses or better yet to have the pro-gun March in Dc...If we just had a third of the 3.2 million nra memebers....we would really have a million person march....its probably way to late to start though....another missed opportunity?...fubsy.
april 19th,,,,Patriots Day.

I agree with RAE. You would lose any credibility by having it on that date, because the media and the politicans would dismiss you as right-wing conspiracy nuts.
that thought flashed through my mind.....and your probably right. Its certainly a shame when being affiliated with patriotism means your a right wing nut.....lol...or worse yet, when those of us who believe in the "idea" of patriotism have to be concerned with how it will be portrayed---that stereotype we've been beaten up with seems to have a chilling effect on the exercise of patrotic actions......fubsy.

April 19th was "Patriots Day" long before the OKC bombing or the inferno in Waco. For those short on their US History, it is the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775 in which colonial minutemen engaged British troops attempting to sieze the chache of arms stored in Concord.
If we must change the date to placate the ignorant, move it a day earlier for the anniversary of Paul Revere's 'midnight' ride.

Daniel may be right, but in today's America almost nobody has even heard of Patriot's Day. Ask around. The same goes for Paul Revere. Paul who? I'm not kidding- I remember Jay Leno asking a bunch of people who Paul Revere was on a show a while back. I was amazed at the ignorance.

Erik,
Nobody's even heard of Patriots day???
Ya gotta be kidding! Hell, it's a State Holiday!
No Crap, both Mass. and Maine celebrate it.
You've heard of "The Boston Marathon?"
Whelp, it's on Patriots day...
btw: Don't let the ANTI's win by getting "scared" of the day. If they pull some **** on 7/4 would we quit celebrating it?
Last rant, on letting the Anti's win. They are NOT hicap mag's, they are standard mags. The new ones should be refered to as "BASTARD MAGS" or some such...

(Yes, I recognize the irony. Also note the Mass. quater. What is it about forgetting the past?)
