Million Mums attack TRT member (again)
Below is how a young cub reporter saw the event however the true story is....on very short notice 30 TRT members showed up together with the famous TRT Fife Core...the event was said to be open to the public....thats until we arrived.....they attempted to throw us out but thanks to the local Ft.Collins Police Officers we were allowed to sit in on the meeting.....it did not take long for the true violent nature of these so called tolerent mums to show...when a TRT member attempted to video tape the event a "mum" jumped up a smashed the video camera into his face.....needless to say like the Bolder event when another TRT member was assulted by the director of SAFE......we filed assult charges.
The event of note however was as TRT members arrived we noticed a unmarked white van with very dark windows......a spook van if you will.......when members investigated this (and we have pics which will be posted later on TRTeam.com) and blew it's cover a two team member of Ft.Collins Police showed up in a unmarked car with video in hand to tape us then came back to do the number plate thing.....all in all a great event.....and the bad news for the "MUMS"...we will beat your amendment 22 in November.......the fun has just began

"Opponents walk in on Million Moms
By Matthew Benson
The Coloradoan
Gun control opponents crashed a meeting of the Million Mom March of Larimer County on Tuesday evening, bringing the gathering to a standstill several times and requiring police response.
Tom Mauser, whose son Daniel was killed in the shootings at Columbine High School, was speaking at the gathering of Million Mom March and SAFE Colorado members, urging them to continue their efforts to promote the "Gun Show Loophole" amendment on November's ballot.
"Polls have shown over 80 percent of the people in Colorado support this measure," Mauser said. "But we cannot afford to be overconfident in this effort despite the (poll) numbers."
The measure, which will appear as Amendment 22 on the November ballot, would require all dealers at gun shows to perform background checks.
"Charlie Manson could be released today and walk up to an unlicensed table and buy a gun," Mauser said. "That's what this is all about."
Through the open windows of Plymouth Congregational Church, attendees could hear protesters shouting into loudspeakers.
Then they came in. About 15 protesters, wearing Tyranny Response Team T-shirts and carrying signs with slogans such as "SAFE Lies," entered the meeting about 7:45 p.m., drawing the ire of meeting attendees and the attention of Fort Collins police, who'd already been called.
The Million Mom March gathering had been publicized as an open meeting in Monday's Coloradoan, so police allowed the protesters to join the meeting, officer Rick Mainwal said.
"We can't support any side," he said. Protester Milt Borchert said Amendment 22 would be an "incremental violation of our rights."
"I am against any regulation," he said after the meeting. "All human beings have the right to self-defense."
"Mr. Mauser, I appreciate you getting $72,000 a year on the corpse of your son," Tyranny Response Team member Stephan Ziegenhagen as he left the room.
Rather than intimidating him, however, Mauser said the protesters' presence served only to make him more passionate.
"I have faced something a hell of a lot worse than what they're dishing out," he said, while pointing to a button on his chest with his son's picture on it. "I've faced something those guys can't imagine."
