Million Man March...?

Maybe 2,000,000....

Why is the NRA failing to organize any sort of grassroots campaign to stop the momentum of this absurdity?

The liberal media- as in the Presidential campaign- is fomenting anti-gun hysteria with misinformation and outright lies to turn public opinion...

WE NEED to show up in D.C., TWO MILLION OF US, on the steps of the Capital, and DEMAND that OUR VOICES be heard by our Representatives.

I will gladly travel the 1000 miles. Create gridlock in DC- and let THEM KNOW we will not have our Consitutional rights trampled!

MOLON LABE!
 
Well, you could attend one of the several state rallies this Saturday.

Sure, It's not DC, but it's something we can do now.
 
I like the idea, but I am very wary of what could potentially happen. There are crazy people out there. Anti gun protesters, rough looking or not well spoken individuals will more than likely get the spotlight. It will only take one bad apple to ruin the whole process and forever put a bad face on gun rights advocates. More than likely all publicity will be negative, sad but with the media here lately I don't doubt it.

By far the worst excuse to stay home this saturday. Get out there and let them see what we are made of.
 
We need to do something. I read last night that the Million Moms & some other group in DC are having a march to DEMAND more gun control. I think they do it on Jan 26. Would a counter rally be possible?

Unfortunately, I cannot go to DC at the moment. Grass Roots NC is having a rally in Raleigh NC soon, date TBA.
 
I'll be in Oklahoma City on the 19th. Saturday. Noon. Going to be a beautiful day as far as weather. South steps of the Capitol building. Open or concealed carry is fine. Just not allowed to carry in the buildings. No long guns!

Please dress appropriately. This isn't the time or place for your hunting garb.

Not making excuses, just trying to make an honest assessment. It just seems like the media will twist a good thing to match their agenda.
 
They will be able to "twist it" even better if we organize a rally and nobody comes. That will "prove" there is no public support for our position. Just the "out of touch" NRA.

As far as rednecks at the rally... we will police our own.

That has been my biggest fear about these state rallys and even bigger about a DC one.
One these sprang up as an idea a relatively short time ago so tons of folks that may have went dont know its even happening

Having taken part in a couple of pro veteran events of a similar nature to rally at the state capitol and hundreds saying they were coming most wound up with news crews taking pictures of 25 people that actually came.

If there is good and I mean good turn out these rallys can be of benefit. If as I fear a lot will talk the talk and not actually show up they will be more harm than good only adding ammo to the antis position that pro gun folks are a minority and a small one.

Policing our own is dicey too. Let one loud verbal confrontation much less physical one between even two pro gun rally attenders be seen by a news camera and you can bet it will be all over national tv before 24 hours is up to prove we are all radical unstable and violent by nature.

Im praying there is a good turn out and I plan on going even though in my state everything political is pro gun so its sort of just going thru the motions.
Heres hoping
 
It might not be a bad idea to shake the hand of every LEO present at the rally and thank them for their service. Imagine the sight of thousands of gun owners shaking hands, having conversations, and showing appreciation with every LEO in the area.

It might go a long way in showing the LEO community that we're all on the same side. It could also alleviate any uncertainties between gun owners and LEOs on that day or possibly deepen one's belief that protecting the Rights of the people they serve to protect is just as important. Maybe.....just maybe.....change the mind of a gun-control favoring LEO.

Anyway, just a thought that I wanted to throw out there. Take care.
 
Bothers me too that NRA isn't getting a rally together. How about GOA? Any news from them lately?

Right on that the press will work against us either way. If huge numbers turn out, they will pick out the worst 100 of the crowd & do 90% of the filming on them. If no one comes, they will play up that most gun owners must now agree with more controls, etc.

If it happens, I will do my best to go. Any gun owners who go should avoid looking extreme in any way. I would suggest no Confederate flags, heavy camo, or posters with misspelled words. Media would have a field day.
