Charlotte, NC --(Ammoland.com)- On Thursday, February 28, NRA-ILA, along with the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, held a rally to protest New York’s recent attack on the Second Amendment–the passage of the so-called S.A.F.E. Act. The rally drew more than 10,000 law abiding gun owners. According to the New York State Police, it was one of the largest rallies ever held at the State Capital.

NRA President David Keene was the featured speaker and told attendees that NRA is committed to helping repeal the S.A.F.E. Act, saying NRA would do “whatever is necessary”–including going to court–to defend the Second Amendment.

Rest assured NRA-ILA will continue to protect the Second Amendment and hold lawmakers accountable for stripping away our rights. Please visit www.NRA-ILA.org for the latest updates on the repeal of S.A.F.E. Act.

10,000 people don’t count if they are mostly White, as far as the news is concerned anyway.

I’ve been hearing some bad news out of New Jersey and
New York. I hope it hasn’t started yet.

“I’ve been hearing some bad news out of New Jersey and

That requires some kind of explanation. “It” what?

If only they had the courage to attend with Modern Sporting Rifles fully loaded. Well maybe not in NY but just wait when they try this BS in AR, TX, AZ, TN, NC, GA, MT, ID, ND, SD, FL, AL, MS, LA, MO, NC, SC, UT, KS, OK, AK, NV, PA, VW. I’m not sure about the rest of the states, but that is enough to enforce the Enumerated Power Clause in the Constitution if necessary. Throw the criminal class out in 2014! Wake up America

Sorry. New York Veterans getting letters about bogus complains and wanting to search their houses. New Jersey residents getting robo-called with gun buy-back offers. Just hear-say at this point.

10000 armed protesters would have had a bigger impact.
