The New York City Rally FOR Illegal Guns, Monday 12:30pm at City Hall
When: 12:30pm, Monday, September 25th, 2006 Where: Outside Gates at City Hall on Broadway, Downtown Manhattan, New York City Event: “The NYC Rally for Illegal Guns”
New York City Gun Rights activists, Constitutional and civil libertarians, Human Rights activists, and pro-Liberty supporters will hold a rally on Monday, September 25th at 12:30pm outside City Hall in Manhattan to support so-called “illegal guns” and the thousands of decent, responsible New York State citizens and residents who own and carry them to preserve their Freedom and protect themselves from criminals, terrorists and other violent people, contrary to what NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg claims in his current campaign against “illegal guns”.
“Mayor Bloomberg is attacking our Gun Rights across the country, teaming up with big-city mayors and other powerful elitists to erode our self-defense rights and privacy rights under the guise of fighting ‘illegal guns’ and crime,” says Nic Leobold, a local Gun Rights activist and libertarian who thought up the idea for the protest. “Fortunately, most people who own ‘illegal guns’ in New York and the rest of the United States are neither criminals nor violent. They’re just decent, respectable, honest and responsible citizens who want a dependable way to defend themselves and their loved ones and defend their Liberty, and they know Michael Bloomberg or various other government thugs will seize their guns if they register them.”
Jim Lesczynski, the organizer of the famous “Guns for Tots” toy gun drive for the Manhattan Libertarian Party, who is endorsing and participating in Monday’s rally, is just as adamant: "'Illegal gun' is an oxymoron," says Lesczynski. "Any law that purports to prohibit or regulate gun ownership in any way is un-Constitutional on its face and therefore null and void. The only people who should feel threatened by armed citizens are tyrants and criminals."
The rally will also feature several politicians seeking office in the November elections, including John Clifton and Jeffrey Russell, the Libertarian Party candidates for New York State Governor and United States Senator, respectively.

Rally against illegal laws.
If I was to purchase a Manhattan residence for work or something, does Mayor Bloomberg honestly believe that I (or people like me) would dispose of high-quality firearms before making the move? Of course not, they would be transitioned into the building along with all my other possessions and likely wouldn't bother anyone unless a criminal came looking for trouble and tried to knock down my door. I would have loved to attend a pro-RKBA event like this.

There could be a cleansing . . .
though I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Hey, this could be a start for RUDY !
Actually, he probably has a gay parade, or something, already scheduled.
With the right advisors, it doesn't take long to fall in love with shooting and to understand how helpful it is to know how to defend yourself with a firearm.
Hmmmm...a large gathering of people who claim to own guns illegally...I imagine a coincidental gathering of undercover cops with cameras and notepads...and subsequently a quiet slow reduction in the number of New York City residents who own guns illegally...
FYI: Attendence at a rally to support an intellectual concept proves NOTHING.....
