Would The Ø allow it?
From France(Europe)i am with you for the march for freedom
Over a month ago, on this site I suggested that a million marchers carrying canes, brooms or umbrellas to symbolize the weapons they owned would be a non-threatening but very clear way to show the fascists what they are up against.
Unarmed the first time we march on Washington. The second time....
Million Gunowner March goes viral from sea to shining sea bump

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Michigan Takes Lead in Organizing National Gun Rights Rally
The Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners (www.mcrgo.org), the largest state-based firearms advocacy group in America, is laying the groundwork for a national rally in Washington D.C. next spring. The Million Gun Owner March will demonstrate broad national support for the recognition--and preservation--of the Second Amendment.
"In the wake of last spring's D.C. vs. Heller U.S. Supreme Court decision which protects an individual's right to possess a firearm for private use and the renewed importance placed on the issue of gun rights across the country, the time is ideal for this historic gathering of gun owners at our national and state capitols," stated State Senator Alan Cropsey (R-DeWitt), a member of the MCRGO Board of Directors.
"Our lawmakers need to understand that America's gun owners come from all races, genders, political viewpoints and economic backgrounds," added Chuck Perricone, MCRGO's Executive Director.
The Million Gun Owner March is the brainchild of Michigan based author and Second Amendment advocate, Skip Coryell (www.whitefeatherpress.com). Mr. Coryell recognized the need to speak up after receiving an e-mail from a distraught woman in Belgium who related the story of a knife attack at a daycare facility in that country following a draconian gun ban that left staff helpless. Many gun owners have expressed fears in recent months that legislation to restrict access to firearms for personal defense may soon be introduced in Congress and state legislatures.
"This is the beginning of a period of historic change in our nation's history and it is no time for the timid. This is a time for brave men and women to stand up and be counted. We want our children to inherit the same freedom our forefathers know. Freedom has to be protected or it will fail. We are at a crossroads. The time to act is now," explained Mr. Coryell.
Rock-n-roll legend and Second Amendment activist Ted Nugent reinforced MCRGO's efforts by adding his enthusiastic support for the march: "A Million Gun Owner March on Washington DC in the Spring of 2010 is indeed building much steam across the hinterland. All pro-Second amendment groups must be on board and perfectly coordinated. I would be proud to rally, promote, lead and speak to whatever degree the people so honor me with."
MCRGO is building partnerships with a variety of organizations around the country to plan the Million Gun Owner March in Washington for the spring of 2010. The day long rally will occur simultaneously with events at state capitols all over the United States and in many local communities. People interested in receiving more information about the event and volunteering to be a local organizer can register at www.milliongunownermarch.com beginning Friday, February 6, 2009. Questions regarding the event can be directed to Skip Coryell at skip@milliongunownermarch.com.
"Michigan is enthusiastic about taking the lead role in organizing this march," said State Representative Joel Sheltrown (D-West Branch), the First Vice Chair of MCRGO. "We have already seen an outpouring of community interest and support for this effort from churches to union halls in every corner of our state. I encourage Michigan gun owners to help make history by offering their help for the Million Gun Owner March."
At what? Creating a million new widows to sign up for social security benefits?
Wouldn't a million gun march be more effective?
Or to put it another way, ask any surviving members (or descendents) of "The Bonus March."
If I’m still alive, I’ll be there.
PING!!!!
I’m in. Amen
Would The Ø allow it?
No he would not. Anyone planning on carrying should plan to be disarmed and arrested - peacefully. If 20 people did it we'd look lie idiots. If 20,000 did it the DC establishment would freak and it would be impossible for the MSM to ignore.
I haven't been arrested in decades. This may be the only good excuse to by a POS Hi Point 9mm carbine.
Should read... I WILL GO!... There fixed it... ;-)
and I will go! as will most of my family.
However, and this is a big however, someone would need to put a muzzle on Ted Nugent.
"Decked out in full-on camouflage hunting gear, Nugent wielded two machine guns while raging, “Obama, he’s a piece of s**t. I told him to su*k on my machine gun.
Hey Hillary,” he continued. “You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless b***h.” Nugent summed up his eloquent speech by screaming “freedom!”
On the face of it, Nugent is a great guy, but I can assure you, that many gun-owners participants would cringe at being associated with this kind of rhetoric, if they attended. FWIW.
Nevertheless, Ted has a way with words. He has the gift of “blunt”..
Count us in.
Just talked to the wife about this and even though she’s just out of surgery for a broken ankle...
Her statement was; “You can zip tie my frigging protest sign to my wheelchair, I’m going!”
Would he--or anyone else--have a choice?
Many reasons have been offered why the Obama and the Left hate Sarah so much. If you go for the superficial, knee-jerk reaction, you would think it would revolve around the abortion issue, her religious beliefs or her strong conservative positions.
But this thread has got me thinking. Obama and his Marxist buddies are not superficial, are rational in an ideological sense and are focused on creating a permanent autocratic Presidency. To accomplish they must find a way to disarm Americans. It is one thing to pass legislation and to invite protests and dissent but it is another thing for millions of American gun owners able to mount a counter-revolution.
Ayres said it perfectly. A revolutionary government has to be prepared to purge 25m recalcitrant Americans and the only way that can be accomplished is if somehow the government can convince or force its citizens to hand over their guns.
Sarah is primarily hated by the rational Marxists, quite simply, because she is a strong defender of the 2nd Amendment and is so passionate on the issue that she would be able to sway millions of votes to her side on that one issue alone and would never agree to Americans rendering themselves defenseless to the power of the government.
Just so happens one of the worst assaults to our 2nd ammendment right happened in 11/30/1993 when the Brady Bill became Public Law No: 103-159. In my opinion, 11/30/2009 would be both symbolic and substantive and would probably draw 2 million people which is about 1.9 million more than the “million man march” had.
No matter when it is - God willing, most of my family will be there.
