The only pro-gun protest that matters was that extremely successful one held from 1776 to 1781.

You don’t protest for a God-given right, protected by our Constitution, you frequently, vigorously, and freely exercise it.

You use “Rules for Radicals” to criminalize, shun, and remove from society anyone who would infringe upon the God-given, Constitutionaly protected rights of another citizen by labeling them as psychopathic, sociopathic, power-mad, Hitlers intent on enslaving others.

The goal: Anti-Gunners are ALWAYS perceived as Psychopathic, Sociopathic, Power-Mad Hitlers.

“Low turnout”...…..Yes, in Chicago with some of the most strict gun control laws in the nation. Those who use guns to shoot one another were probably out doing just that or were still sleeping from the previous nights episodes.

Too bad the well intended students didn’t get the funding needed to call attention to their cause like the media gave David Hogg.

With one more Supreme, Trump as President, and the economy booming I just do not see the need to invite violence by going to a 2A rally.

Beside which, they did not publicize them and I never knew.

But the big point is that if we do nothing to provoke the left, we are going to win.

I agree. The libs/progs/commies are wont to engage in meaningless symbolic acts like “marching”. Who cares?!

Absolutely, and that is a point most miss in all of this.

Lefties glorify the 60’s and will join a March at the drop of a hat just to feel hip.

I would join a March in the hope it would be Kent State.

There are several reason I won’t go to such an event, even the the 2ND Amendment mean everything.

IRL I am a political incognito. I am not going to advertise to this country’s lunatics what my political positions are.

Secondly, if I did attend such a rally, and some black clad ass started to threaten or harass me, I would respond. That’s just the way I am, so I avoid that situation.

organizers don’t know about gun owners. As one who has owned guns for a lifetime and been a competitive shooter, I have known many gun owners and supporters. I don’t know one who would go out on a hot street to support a cause. Most are members of the NRA and encourage them to protect their rights when necessary. We are just not the activist type. But don’t mess with our guns or you will be choking with the barrel rammed down your throat!!!
