It was a bitter cold morning standing on the capital steps but we all survived, no one was shot, arrested or left any trash behind.
Man I love a good peaceful rally where people with a love for their rights and a fire in their souls come together to do something constructive and leave with hope and ammunition to spread to others who couldn't be there.
There were two Representatives from my area there, one Repub & a Democrat and both 2A supporters!!! The third did not show because he is the enemy!!!
I didn't hear all that was said but what I did hear was refreshing and will hold them to their word.
Will get some more info as I contact more people on my list.
Thanks to all that attended and also a big thanks to Slobray for meeting up with me & being my hearing aid!!!! Good to see you again buddy.
My pleasure Jim, it was great to see you again and be around so many like minded people.

Good to see folks were able to turn out. But it's too bad more gun owners aren't willing to show up en masse to show more support for gun rights.
Instead, you get rallies at capitols around the country where many more, in some cases over 1,000 show up in support of....illegal immigrants. Sad to see that folks are in support of breaking the law, but not so much for constitutional rights
Over 400 estimated in Salem yesterday to support the 'rights' of illegal immigrants:

Not trying to derail the thread, and I've got no problem whatsoever with legal immigration. I just find it interesting to see what motivates people to act, show up, rally. Maybe more gun owners should break the law - maybe then more people will come out to support their rights too?? Last rally I went to in Salem definitely didn't have a large turnout. That said, I'm still not sure how effective these rallies are, especially when the news will extensively, positively cover a rally about illegal immigrants and if they cover a pro-gun rally, it will be done so as to give a negative light to gun owners - like focusing on the people open-carrying AR's and AK's in the capitol building.
Wait a dogon minuet, illegal aliens have rights???? NO FUGGIN WAY!!!!
Well that right there shows you just how well organized our constitutional enemies are and it makes me sad. Strike that, MAD!!!!
We need to get better organized. If I could get even a few weeks notice, I can skip work to make it. I'm sure I'm not the only pro 2nd guy in this position. In fact I have a few buddies that said the same thing and would have been more than willing to go. I know the importance of doing this during the week so I'm willing to sacrifice work/pay to be there but can't lose my job over a rally simply because I couldn't give any notice. I know this was posted on FB and I'm not sure how much notice/organization went into this. I don't participate in FB( or any other form social media, unless you consider NWFA social media) for several reasons, one being that it's still liberal MEDIA. I believe there is a level of Mob rule/bias that really tends to control what people say and do online. I see this with my wife as she does have an account. She often tells me about things she sees on FB, if it's something conservative based, she is often afraid to like or share it cuz she is concerned of what her liberal friends or family might say or think. It often keeps her from following or posting certain things. Of course her liberal friends and family aren't as reserved. She isn't the only FB fornicator I know that does this. It makes me wonder how many people out there are in the same situation. I know there are some that simply don't care and will say and do what they feel but I sadly think those people are fewer and fewer everyday. Anyway that's just one reason I won't bother with FB and why I don't think it's the best, or at least shouldn't be the only venue for getting people to gather for a conservative cause. I'd like to think I'm not the only guy out there that thinks this way If the AWB comes down the pike, we will need mass turnout... Might as well get to organizing now cuz if this one dosnt make it through, the next one will.
Sounds like my cowardly "fair-weather principles" mother, "don't talk about guns in public because you come off as EXACTLY the type everybody's so scared of!"I believe one of the major reasons why people are afraid to attend is they are afraid of being caught on camera and their liberal employers seeing them at a Pro-gun rally and they will be fired. It's fear of retaliation for their beliefs and their rights become stifled.
EVILZ, you fit the mold of a lot of Pro 2A supporters in America and I commend you, that being said, we as organizers cannot gain any speed to thwart the leftist anti-American politicians and their lemmings. I can bet if we had more notice for these get togethers the numbers would be more but sad to say not very much more. I believe one of the major reasons why people are afraid to attend is they are afraid of being caught on camera and their liberal employers seeing them at a Pro-gun rally and they will be fired. It's fear of retaliation for their beliefs and their rights become stifled. I could never live like that, having to look at myself in the mirror each morning and know I was beaten down by those who want to control everyone...
We need to stand up and be counted or they will continue to kick our azzes and wittle our rights away. Sure most of us who are in it to win are retired but if you don't stand for something then you will kneel to a ruler.
I for one will NEVER KNEEL!!!
Let's get motivated folks!!!
