While about three dozen gun-control supporters were protesting against the Florida Gun Show in Pembroke Pines on Saturday, thousands of people were inside the City Center shopping, taking permit courses, joining the NRA and registering to vote.

Sweet.

Miami media tried to HYPE some local "citizens" who are gun grabbers...they were working hand in hand to stop a GUN SHOW in Pembroke Pines near Fort Lauderdale.

Even the usually left wing Sun Sentinel is admitting the gun grabbers FAILED.

Good times, good times.

“...three dozen gun-control supporters were protesting against the Florida Gun Show in Pembroke Pines on Saturday, thousands of people were inside...”

Hmmm.... 36 of them.... THOUSANDS of us.

Yeah.

That’ll work.

Just went to the range yesterday myself, as a matter of fact.

Place was JAMMED. And let’s just say that the slogans on hats and T-shirts that I saw, on men and WOMEN, were not real friendly for lefties.

That sh*t ain’t gonna fly in Florida.

We love our guns and our freedom here.

I live a few miles North of PP. We are in the heart of dirty filthy corrupt Broward county too.

Ft. Lauderdale is doing its damndest to shut down the decades old gun show downtown. They’re pulling out every dirty trick they can think of, financially, records, whatever. I’m not sure if it still goes on due to my being broke, but if the war memorial gun show ceases to exist the lefties won in Ft. Lauderdale.

[[[yes we do. Nearly everyone I know here in FL has a gun]]]

I’ve known otherwise flaming liberals who were more pro-gun than some of the so-called “golfers with guns” I’ve run into.

Go figure.

Duh I should have read before commenting. Broward is dead.

Activist Barbara Markley was among those who successfully lobbied to end the decades of gun shows at War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale. Her focus has shifted to Pembroke Pines.

Big gun show at the Reno Convention center Aug 16-18. I’ll see if any BOR H8erz show up. You know to exercise their right to object to me exercising mine. Funny how that works.

You must have missed the memo. The one that says 90% of gun owners agree with more anti gun laws. 🙌🐎💩

Waiting for the meme “how insensitive” to have a gun show right after two MASS shootings...

Does it ever occur to these protesters that if guns and gun owners were as dangerous and unhinged as they’re constantly accusing them of, the protests would be putting their lives at risk? To the contrary, people attracted to gun shows are safer to confront than college students or the antifa maniacs.

Chance are if you took those protesters into custody and did background checks on them, you’d save yourself several mass shootings down the road.

My Wife and I are re-doing our CCW classes that day.
It’s a requirement if the license is nearing the ten-year mark.
I made the appointment for the class a week before the Garlic Festival murders.
Since that time, the size of the CCW class jumped from around a dozen to about 65 students.

People aren’t going to put up with more gun control.

So, any insight as to the Jewish population in the area? I can’t believe the ones we know seem to be for more gun control. WTH?

Yep...I live here too. But spend a lot of 5-6 outside the country. Broward has more vile scum than the rest of the country combined. Watch them re-elect Scott Israel.
