SAN BERNARDINO - Exactly six months after 20 children and six adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., a small group from Organizing for Action stood here Friday with 26 flags and signs calling for stricter gun control. "On Flag Day growing up, I used to always wave a flag with my grandson, and it hit me that the victims of that horrible tragedy won't ever be able to do that," said Curtis Lewis, the group's gun violence prevention coordinator. "We need people to stand up and write to Congress to say they want laws that respect the Second Amendment but also help prevent these tragedies."
Lewis said he supported HR 1565, a bill that would require background checks for sales at gun shows and online, "close the gun show and other loopholes," and create a commission to study the causes of mass violence in the United States.
The protest drew three members of Organizing for Action, a nonprofit group that supports President Barack Obama's agenda, to the National Orange Show Events Center.
"It's three people today, but it will be 23 next time, and we'll see the time after that," Lewis said.
Curt, you're a moron.
OFA = SFA
That is a record turnout!
3 people this time, 23 after that. At that rate the gun control movement will have an unstoppable majority right around AD 2193.
a picture of this three person rally, a very WIDE clear picture needs to be viral. No close in deception but a far away angle to make things clear.
Curt, whoever you are, Americans do not want gun control other than what is already in place.
Most Americans who actually understood the issue wouldn’t want 99% of what’s already in place.
If anyone who reads the article actually knows the city of San Bernardino (nightly police helicopters in the sky) they must be laughing at these “gun control” idiots.
We haven’t seen crowds like that since Sandra Fluke went on tour.
LOL 3 people..hope the police were able to control that large gathering LOL..even Sandra Fluke got more people to show up at her rally, and those were people hoping she would sleep with them til they saw her up close and said “Nah I’ll pass”
Did I overlook the wide-angle shot of the crowd...or was the photo really small too? /s
...to morons.
We had 1500 people at the last pro-gun ralley in Hartford CT and I don’t remember seeing a print article about it in the CT papers.
SAN BERNARDINO (CBSLA.com) — The city attorney of San Bernardino is under scrutiny for telling residents to “lock their doors and load their guns” during a city council meeting.
It sounds like “Organizing” for Action didn’t get the memo. “Protesters” are now demanding a “living wage” to perform their services. Nobody wants to go out in the hot sun and beat on a drum for nothing. They want the big bucks.
Considering that the city is bankrupt, one would think that some other form of political action would be more beneficial.
Sandra Fluke: the world’s greatest argument for male celibacy.
