PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION
Million Mom Marchers ransack pro-gun display
Second Amendment Sisters' materials stolen, dumped in garbage can

by Roger Abramson



PHILADELPHIA -- As the pro-gun rights Second Amendment Sisters were in the process of setting up their display in front of Independence Hall, a contingent of "Million Mom Marchers" came through and ransacked a table of books, pamphlets and other Second Amendment Sisters-related materials, shoving it all into a garbage can down the street.

The Second Amendment Sisters calls itself a "grassroots, spontaneous group," started by "a handful" of the 12 million women gun owners in America. Based in Dallas, SAS began as the "Armed Informed Mothers March," intended as a counter-movement to the anti-gun Million Mom March held in May. The two groups have been at odds ever since.

In fact, the two opposing groups spent the pre-Republican Convention weekend facing each other at opposite ends of historic Independence Mall, in the shadow of the Liberty Bell. SAS displays a montage of American flags commemorating the 400,000 lives it says have been saved by guns; the Million Moms, apparently joined by other groups, presents rows and rows of shoes they claim equal the number of children killed by guns every year.

According to Second Amendment Sisters spokesperson Maria Heil, the "Million Moms" saw their opportunity to raid the exhibition last Saturday while she and other SAS members were away for a few moments getting display materials on the other side of Independence Park. When Heil came back, the table was bare and a number of flags had "Million Mom March" buttons pinned to them.

Heil and members of the Independence National Park Police went looking for the materials, finally finding them inside a park garbage can about a block away. The Park Police contacted the Philadelphia City Police, and members of both forces kept a close eye on the area for the rest of the weekend.

Later on, as Heil and other SAS members were walking along a nearby sidewalk, they were accosted by an anti-gun protester who "hurled the F-word over and over again" until he was removed by the police. Heil was then told that a federal mediator was being brought in and put on stand-by should any more such problems occur.

"I have to say that the police have been great," Heil said. "I also think that they are sort of warming up to us a bit, after they've seen how different we and the other side operate."

The City of Philadelphia has pulled out all of the stops for this year's Republican National Convention, and a special effort has been made to keep the inevitable protests from getting out of hand. According to a report in The Philadelphia Inquirer, all members of the city police are on duty this week, and "large numbers" of Pennsylvania state police and federal law enforcement officials are also in town throughout the convention. The city will not reveal exactly how many active police there will be, other than saying that it is a "record number."

The most notable protest groups this weekend have been the "Kensington Welfare Rights Union," which has formed a tent city called "Bushville" (in homage to the 1930s era "Hoovervilles") in North Philadelphia, and the "Philadelphia Direct Action Group," which uses its "Ministry of Puppetganda" for political street theater. Also active have been the "Billionaires or Bush (or Gore)," consisting of college students dressed up in aristocratic attire protesting the influence of corporations in politics.

Thus far, however, the Million Mom raid is the only known incident of less-than-civil disobedience. Nevertheless, Philadelphia, as the home of Mumia Abu-Jamal -- who is on death row for killing a Philadelphia police officer -- and the most recent site of televised police violence, has become the nation's ground zero for anti-police fervor. There are plans for numerous protests throughout the week, and the city is taking no chances.

How can any rational thinking person believe that such actions by the MMM people will help their cause? We know that the MMM people are not rational of course butthose that are not really sure of which side of the question they are on will see which side, SAS or MMM, behaves the best and shows the most respect for other views.

Perhaps the actions by the MMM people are for the best if they are made known across the country. MMM has shown themselves to be bigots of the highest order. People afraid of even letting the otherside speak or present their views.

Where would we be if we used the Million Missinformed mother march's tactics. Would there be any Anti-gunners?

Its to bad the Anti Gunners can't at least act as civilized as the say they are.
 
I hope this gets more publicity. Those soccer moms proved they are unstable and quite the opposite of the SAS. If everybody in the US would just give this some thought, we'd be much better off. Unfortunately, for every rational gun owner, there's two misinformed idiots (whether the person is a gun owner or anti).

I think we would be getting heavily tear- gassed by now followed by a thorough demonizing in the media.

Just goes to show you the difference between logic (our side) and emotion (their side).

You can always tell a Leftist when they are losing an argument. The name calling and violence commences.

These people are no different than the animal rights whackos, eco-loonies and Leftist/socialist politicians who try to argue their agenda through raw emotion rather than facts and logic.

Ours has always been a crisis driven society. Even if one has to be manufactured.
 
And just for the Record.....
After a check of CNN, CBS, NBC, and ABC there was no mention of this incident at all, and one article about how peaceful the protests were going.
Note though, on ABC all three articles displayed on thier website was anti-republican.

What's that link to the "Truth in Reporting" Site?

Suppression of speech is a tactic we'd expect to find in a third world country where the government is a military junta or by a communist party (either way, read extremist). The Millon Mom Marchers have truely discredited themselves by resorting to these tactics.
 
Big deal - the fencesitters who need to see this never will in the mainstream media.

BTW - worldnetdaily is only preaching to the choir of literate libertarians/conservatives. Noone else sees it.

I urge all of you to send the URL to a handful of your favorite media outlets, both local and national.

A small way to counteract this news blackout would be to go on your local newspaper's web forum (or any other you know of) and post this report, including the address.

A few more people, hopefully fence-sitters, will see this and maybe even a few will become WND readers.
 
The SAS need some advice on enemy identification and Leftist tactics as well as psych warfare tactics. If they're like most freedom-lovers, they probably assume that the rational, reasoned approach will win out in the end. They have no idea they're up against the Bolshevik mentality.
 
I think this speaks volumes about what the antis really think.

If the MMMs really think that guns in the hands of regular citizens are incitements to peril and shootouts over traffic accidents, why are they willing to raid and steal from them? It looks like they see them for the level-headed, rational people that they are. Which brings up the question: what are they thinking?
 
The MMM just might want to consider repealing that "right to assemble" thing. The RKBA is first on the MMM agenda, then maybe the First Amendment should be regulated. You know; the outrageous, and well behaved gun-women.

Too bad more people don't hear about this, and only hear clever lies.

Thanks for posting this.
