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

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 .

Here's what the "brady bunch" have planned for the 28th...sheesh!

On August 28, activists in cities across America will hold a national day of protest to focus attention on the scourge of illegal gun trafficking.The date is the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s historic March on Washington in 1963.

The Brady Campaign with its network of Million Mom March Chapters is supporting the efforts of Reverend Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition to draw attention to gun violence by organizing local events to be held in cities across America. So far, local activists have confirmed more twenty events, and more are expected.

Among the activities on the 28th will be

In addition, a statewide letter writing campaign is being organized in California to build support for a crime-fighting “microstamping” bill being considered by the State Legislature.

The August 28 rallies will focus the public and push leaders at all levels of government to take action against the illegal gun market and to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals.

Will the reverend Jesse Jackson be brining along his child that he had with his mistress while cheating on his wife?

One more day!

And they are predicting the coolest day in weeks and slightly cloudy, so it should be a fun party. We have quite a few people from different activist orgs, blogs, clubs, etc. planning to show up. Jeff Knox (of The Firearms Coalition) himself will be there—a great honor, since he coined “National Exercise Your Rights Day!”

We have links to maps and schedules for those driving and taking Metro at
www.2asisters.net/md
and Knox has posted a press release at
http://www.theopenpress.com/index.php?a=press&id=22586

I look forward to meeting Freepers on Tuesay at RealCo!

In Maryland (the DC event), the state police auditors (Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley’s henchmen) showed up to do an unscheduled audit of RealCo’s books just as the event started (can you say “dirty politicians”?), and the District Heights Mayor actually spewed threats and intimidating remarks indicating he won’t stop until he closes RealCo down.

Lots of bad statistics were mentioned (76 guns out of 2,626 guns “related to crimes” in DC from 2006 came from RealCo, for example). That number is less than 3% and the crime could have had nothing to do with guns. They also said 15% of dealers sell all the guns “related to crimes,” but failed to say the government has closed down 79% of these dealers since 1994 through intimidation, taxes, and expensive permits.

Marion Barry showed up, and started chanting “Let’s padlock it”, but no one joined him.

It was a fun day, starting off with Second Amendment Sisters finding a source for a sound system so we weren’t limited to a bullhorn. The building that was to supply our electricity had no power feeding the outlet, so RealCo let us hook up to their store and run an extension cord.

To protect the pro-gun group(!), the police enclosed us in crime tape so Jesse’s posse couldn’t spit on us, spray us with water, or do the other ugly things they typically do at such events. They had their usual 32 people lie down in front of RealCo and play dead (which makes one wonder about the actual number of people who chose to attend their rally on their own).

RealCo did a good business, as people showed their support by purchasing items. I purchased a high end gun-smithing kit, and my S.O. bought a new magazine for a bullseye match pistol.

The Freepers who showed up were amazing—they were quick to turn the antis’ chants against them!

Estimates were that over the 2 hours of the rally, we had 50 and they had 95, and their numbers included the press and body guards!

Thanks everyone who came out to support our RKBA across the Nation!
