RE: post # 10

If it had been me and my wife the three punks wouldn't have stood a chance. Heck, I probably wouldn't have even had time to react before the ol' lady drilled all three!

These poor souls are in a desparate race to get their agenda to move forward BEFORE the populace awakens to the fact that they've been lied to by these clymers for over a decade--of course the movement is much OLDER than 10 yrs--but that's the time frame where they've seen their most strident gains since the 1960's. What they're terrified of is that a terrorist will open up in a mall or some other crowded venue and a lawfully armed citizen will shut down the operation with less than one mag of well placed shots! That happens...say buh BYE to gun control! They know it too. In fact, what puzzles me the most is that they all know that this issue cost them the White House this last time and still they persist in this insane course of action. I dunno, I guess it must be genetics or somethin.' Salmon gotta swim upstream, New Yorkers gotta elect liberals and gun haters gotta push their agenda!

Million Mom Marchers Network, Strategize and Share Success Stories at 2nd Annual Conference

The second annual Million Mom March conference was a big success.
We had nearly 100 Moms from California to Maine attend, and the reaction was extremely positive.
The Moms are returning to their local chapters full of energy and optimism about the Brady Campaign,
and our shared goal of preventing gun violence. Thank you to all those Moms who attended!

100 million moms?
wow, where did they keep them all?
pictures at the freep
we had several people ask us at the protest who the MMM was
& then ask "where they were marching?"

the million mom march
"the march that goes no where good"

Wish that were so. They just got a huge infusion of cash from a liberal foundation.

Yep. The Packard Foundation and the other one (Hewlett's) has been giving money to the MMMers.

So, did any Freeper get in the debate?

Any blow-by-blow reports?
