Yep this helps illustrate my point in another thread, that our problem isn't so much a lack of numbers but a lack of those numbers being active.This is again one of those times when my imagination paints a picture of a glaring discrepancy between the organization of 2A rights supporters and the anti-rights groups. Whereas they've been meeting regularly for study groups, diligently doing their homework, and will show up on exam day well prepared and greeted with open arms, we're only starting to think about it the night before.
If I though it had a realistic chance of countering the anti-gun narative, I would go to every single one of them.Yep this helps illustrate my point in another thread, that our problem isn't so much a lack of numbers but a lack of those numbers being active.
I don't know but the Oregonpushback campaign has had a poor rollout in my opinion. I have inquired numerous times about plan of action on their facebook page and while they are responding to others, they have not responding to me or another member who also wanted to know the plan of action. The website needs work. I would like to buy some signs but no option for that on website. And my request for sign info on social media have also been largely ignored.Not a member of facebook, so I can't open their facebook articles. Here's a non-facebook web page. It does not have a lot of info - don't see event schedules/descriptions, etc.:
Oregon Push Back
Why would a political action group limit their audience to people who are members of facebook?
This sound like a great opportunity to turn an anti gun rally into a pro 2nd amendment rally. If the anti's stay home and the 2nd amendment supporters show up, I would call that a WIN.LOL Maybe not supposed to be up to 6" of snow in Salem Monday. I think Mom's be staying home. To many snowflakes to compete with.
I believe large, Pro 2nd rallies with good attendance would go a long way to boost the morale of gun owners and help inspire/motivate the majority that are currently sitting on the sideline saying "its hopeless" to take action.If I though it had a realistic chance of countering the anti-gun narative, I would go to every single one of them.
The problem is we have Brown who will shove more gun control down our throats regardless of the opposition.
At this point I'm just waiting for the shooting to start, I'll be surprised if there isn't another Civil war in less than 5 years.

We need to do everything we possibly can to get gun owners fired up. Once the anti's have successfully demoralized us, its over, They will have won.
I think that you are being a little disingenuous. Rallies have started working in other States like Illinois. They were not portrayed as gun nuts in most of the news outlets. A large, armed, well informed group opposing the "Mothers" may be enough to show the Legislature that we have had enough. Gun owners in Oregon just need to get their act together.rallies are cute and some of you will be on TV or the news paper, and you will not be portrayed in a good light touting your AR15's but you will look the badd azz serious second amendment supporters some of you think your are as well as and gun nuts the media wants you to look like, sorry wont be there Im spent from the SAPO work and "victory we actually accomplished"
we needed support garnering signatures for a meaningful endeavor of Second Amendment Protection Orders county by county as a preemptive maneuver, we called to arms here on this website and on the streets only 7 of 36 counties mustered! it was not received well by Oregonian Gun Owners
good luck with your vanity parades, they have worked Soooo well in the past
I understand your sentiment and agree pro2A residents failed to act in many areas around the State. I can't tell you why. It could be lack of organization, direction, negative media coverage, infighting, disbelief or just sheer laziness. It's likely a mixture of all of these reasons plus some I didn't include.rallies are cute and some of you will be on TV or the news paper, and you will not be portrayed in a good light touting your AR15's but you will look the badd azz serious second amendment supporters some of you think your are as well as and gun nuts the media wants you to look like, sorry wont be there Im spent from the SAPO work and "victory we actually accomplished"

Thank you for your effort!I am headed to Salem soon to wave at the angry moms and push the suicide prevention bill idea.
I didn't see any obvious media types, no news trucks, etc which surprises me now that I think about it. They are probably too busy covering people stuck on a train and other important stuff There were quite a few teenagers there. And the age range ran the gambit but more young than old I think. Once they were done with photo op they spread out like ants searching for food. They had two gals on every floor except the ground floor near each elevator and they had groups of 10 or so walking around and some were talking with legislators out in the hallway areas. I road the elevator numerous times with groups of them. I should have had mexican food last night.Was there any media there?
*Sigh*.. How is their kids our problem again? I haven't set foot in a classroom in years, I want nothing to do with them or their kids. Secure your own schools and your own homes, leave us out of it please.
