This movement is less than a week old, so the details are still in flux.
Ted Nugent has committed to attend and promote the event to be held Spring of 2010.
I know that seems like a long way off, but there are miles to go before we sleep.
This will be huge.
Well, at least Ø’s administration will have a better idea how many beds they’ll need to reserve in the “camps”...

We should all go.
I am in on this one. Been waiting for a long time.

Would The Ø allow it?
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....

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."
If I’m still alive, I’ll be there.
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.
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!”
