On August 28th, Jesse Jackson and his band of gun grabbers are gathering in District Heights MD. In attendance and speaking will be Mayor Centy of DC, Jack Johnson, Prince Georges County Executive, and other assorted gun grabbers.
We are proud to be able to announce that Second Amendment Sisters will be holding a counter protest in front of Realco Guns, Inc. This is located directly next to where Jesse and friends are assembling.
The "festivities" begin at 12 noon, and are scheduled to last until 2 PM. The address of the Gun Shop is
Real Guns, Inc
6108 Marlboro Pike
District Heights MD 20747
We are inviting all freepers who are in the area to join us in this counter protest to the Reverrrrrrrrrrrnd Jack-son and his cohorts.
The bigger our counter protest, the better, so please, everyone who can possibly make it, come on out and support Second Amendment Sisters, and other pro gun organizations at this event. We have heard that the "Million Mommies" will be in attendance in force, to support Jesse .
Ping!
I’m a refugee from that part of the country, but still have many friends and family living under the tyranny of the thug Democrats there. I wish you all well in this effort. Prince George’s County under Jack Johnson is well on its way to achieving “third world” status - just as D.C. has been for 30 years.
How many of you are attractive and single? :)
ALL OF US ARE ARMED AND DANGEROUS, though.
Any more questions?
BUMP

Jesse Jackson targets District Heights gun shop
The District Heights gun store singled out last month by a regional task force for being the No. 1 source of recovered weapons in the District has been chosen as the site of a gun violence protest Aug. 28.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow PUSH Coalition, a national social justice organization, are planning a national day of protests against gun violence, and chose Realco Guns Inc. in District Heights as the Washington, D.C., location. Jackson has not yet decided which protest he will attend.
A gun trafficking task force announced last month that police traced 76 firearms recovered in the District last year to Realco, making it the top source of recovered weapons in the Washington, D.C. Police recovered 2,656 guns last year.
Rainbow PUSH D.C. office manager Steven Smith said the coalition chose Realco as the location for the protest because of its proximity to the District and because of its connection with recovered weapons.
He said District Mayor Adrian Fenty and County Executive Jack B. Johnson are expected to attend.
The protest starts at noon.
Thanks for the additional information, Kristinn. Hope you will have time to join SAS and the rest there.
Bump!
Well single is important, but you know they are all armed. That's got a certain attractiveness in itself.
Basil is a babe though. But she's a Texan and she might have husband, also quite likely to be armed. You'll have to take your chances.
More like a criminal organization. Probably trying to "shake down" the gun shop for a "contribution", aka "protection money".
This is outrageous because Realco was singled out since it’s close to DC and 0.0003% (rounding up!) of the guns recovered in DC last year were traced to Realco. These guns could have been recovered in traffic violations or from people like Jim Webb’s assistant, who forgot to remove it from their briefcase before entering the city in their rush to get to work on time! Hardly a smoking gun, if you get my drift.
Try buying a gun from this store sometime and wade through the endless ID checks, forms, and Maryland waiting period required for “Brady” checks, and you’ll realize this dealer is being railroaded for purely political purposes.
The police spend so much time doing data entry and retrieval they don’t have time to go after murderers, rapists, and child molesters. The Second Amendment Foundation listed a study that showed “less than one handgun in 6,500 is ever used in a homicide.” Statistically, that’s zero!
On the Brady background check, the SAF states, “2,356,376 background checks were performed the first year the Brady law took effect, at a cost of about $24 dollars per check. Of those checks, only four prosecutions were initiated. That’s 14.1 million dollars per prosecution. Plus, local law enforcement agencies had to take officers off of the streets, and put them behind desks to process applications and perform background checks.”
Talk about statistical insanity! The Bradys, Million Moms, and Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow Push are all about inciting mass hysteria.
What’s it all really about? Obama wants to ban all private ownership semi-automatic firearms. Can you say tyranny? Jackson is a political animal, and doesn’t care that gun bans were used to keep African-Americans in slavery. George Mason, in the Virginia Convention, actually noted that restricting access to firearms was the best way to enslave people! So here are two leading African-American public figures advocating enslaving even more Americans, and one of them may be our next president.
Totally insane. I say get out to Realco or another local shop on the 28th and exercise your rights (at least temporarily) guaranteed by the second amendment. Our constitution itself is at stake and liberty is on the chopping block
She does have a husband. You should be in the same room as 10 of these Sisters. They exude a certain aura. Hmmmm
Wish I could be there in DC and would be if it wasn’t a weekday.
My type of women!
Armed that is!
Bravo, 2AS folks! Can’t be there, but at least I can bump your thread.
I just re-read the date, unfortunately I have a flight out of Dulles the day before :(
Next time though, because this one wont be buried until the Supreme court upholds that Parker case!
I need to sleep more. Correction to the percentage of guns recovered in DC that initially came from Realco — it’s 3% (the % of guns used in homicides listed later in my rant remains 0).
And I’ll add that these guns may have been stolen years earlier from homes in Maryland and just showed up in DC last year.
I’m still frosted—this amounts to a hatchet job on an ethical, hard-working small businessman who has been a positive influence in our community for years.
That’s our only hope at this point—that enough “friendly” judges are now on SCOTUS to uphold the second amendment as it was intended by our founders.
