TRT-DC, FReepers vs. anti-NRA protestors (photo thread) Pittsburgh convention site

eyewitnesses ^ | April 20, 2004 | MagnusMaximus!

First, the "good guys" and gals...

"NRA04 FREEDOM'S STEEL"
"4 Acres of Guns & Geer!"

FReeper Badray displays "Don't Tread On Me" t-shirt

TRT member/FReeper GunsareOK with a fan

FReeper smokeyb with other "Pat Toomey for Senate" activists

Conservative activists pass out "Arlen Specter, TOO LIBERAL FOR TOO LONG" fliers outside the convention center

Tyranny Response Team (TRT-DC) observer, on the scene. ;-)

And now, pictures of the anti-NRA protestors follow below...

"ONE GUN is ONE TOO MANY!" sign behind anti-NRA protestors area border, protected by police

Large "STOP GUN VIOLENCE" sign

"NRA unwelcome", "The NRA is Dead Wrong" signs displayed by elderly anti-gun protestors

Protestor holds up "Over the cold, dead bodies of thousands of victims of gun violence????" sign while a police mole wearing sunglasses spies on NRA members

"Regime Change Begins At Home! VOTE OUT Bush/Cheney", other signs, displayed by protestors

"a thin line between entertainment and war", "R.I.P. One Every Minute" signs displayed by young protestors

"n.r.a. Just say 'NO' to your LEADERS!" signbearer engages FReeper Badray

FReeper Badray continues to try to reason with the more vocal anti-gun protestors.

After just an hour or so of music, lame speeches and chants, etc., the anti-NRA protestors packed up and went home. The TRT members and FReepers who peacefully engaged those 150 or so protestors that day showed them that WE are NOT the ogres, "gun nuts" or Bush/Cheney shills that the media would have you think we are. ;-)

Anyone else who was there: Feel free to post any other relevant pictures taken at this year's NRA Annual Meeting and convention, on this thread!

TRT BANG!

[MagnusMaximus1]

BUMP!

[bmwcyle]

Good Work!

[GunsareOK]

DC Chapter Bump

[Atlas Sneezed]

When you post...
to the bang list...
don't forget...
your ass-to-risk!

[abner]

They had drawings of guns....

Shouldn't they be arrested?

[SittinYonder]

Buddy of mine works for NRA emailed me the anti-gun crowd was waving a Georgia flag. Can anyone tell me which Georgia flag or why? He hasn't responded to my email.

[Rams82]

I dont suppose those anti-nra protesters would like these guns....

[Badray]

They may not like them, but I think that I just fell in love with them.

And the number one reason why guns are better than women (THIS IS ONLY HUMOR):

You can have more than one gun and they don't get jealous when you want even more.

[mountaineer]

Good job as always, Ray. We were out of town and couldn't join you all, alas.

[Badray]

Great pictures, but I have a question.

Who was that fat guy that was pretending to be me? LOL

BTW, I got my high quality, reasonably priced, politically incorrect t-shirts in January from the best vendor at CPAC.

You can tell him how much you like them by going to 0cents.com

[Badray]

Thanks. And as always... We had fun doing it.

[Badray]

If nothing else, the fashion police could have had a banner day. What a bunch of freaks. Brainless, fashion challenged freaks.

[MagnusMaximus1]

Thanks, but, most of the credit goes to Badray, smokeyb and GunsareOK.

[MagnusMaximus1]

"They had drawings of guns....
Shouldn't they be arrested?"

or expelled from school? ;-)

[MagnusMaximus1]

I was suffering from the "irrational exuberance" of excitement when I hit the bump list. Thanks for the correction. :-)

[Libertina]

AWESOME! BTW, 10 dead every day, 1 dead every minute... OK, which it it? These people are too simple to make it to the end of the alphabet, much less engage in an intellectual, rational discussion.

[MagnusMaximus1]

Thanks for the url, too.

Though your on-the-scene efforts to convince those protestors of the rationale of the pro-RKBA position probably fell on deaf ears, you deserve mucho kudos for even trying, anyway.

[stevio]

Yo Badray, what's up? LOL. Finally get to put a face with the great mind. Go get'em!
