I don't know of the newspaper account is accurate, since I couldn't make it, but I am certain we will find out.

"I'm against gun violence even though I'm for citizens owning guns and protecting themselves," Lambert said.

Forget you, buddy. I'm all for gun violence. All of us who oppose you are.(/sarcasm)

Glen Lambert, 20...

At the age of 20 he doesn't even know what he doesn't know yet.

The "gun show loophole" is a lie.

You gotta love it when liberals persuade young skulls full of mush to rally for any one of their pet causes, and honestly believe wiser adults will be persuaded to join the cause as a result of it.

My question is: What the hell does "nearly a dozen" mean? 9? 10? 6? Why not just say how many there were? Was the math too hard for the reporter? Sheesh.

With 224 pair of empty shoes strewn at their feet, nearly a dozen youth braved the rain today to raise awareness of gun violence at a rally in front of city hall.

I guess the CCW laws in this state must be cutting into their business. Mugging was soooo much safer before Texas legalized CCW.

And How may pairs are there that belonged to gang-bangers? Those killed by LEO's during the commission of a crime?

Wow, the "Young Texans Against Gun Violence" actually got all of their members to show up for this earth-shaking event. Impressive!

I wonder if they sold the soggy shoes for dope money after the dog-and-pony show...

"With 224 pair of empty shoes strewn at their feet, nearly a dozen youth braved the rain"

All Your Youth Are Belong to Us.

I suppose "youth" is the plural of "youth".

But I thought it was "yout".

Typical leftist drivel.

For a hour 4 or 5 women spit into a mic telling us how they were all victims of this, that, and EVERYTHING else.

We were told that we could have the mic when they were through.....except when our own 'chad dimple' wanted to correct the lies these people had just stated he was asked if he had a permit?....Flyer, had a great reply regarding the permit thing...."Da Da Does anyone have a copy of the Constitution"!.....classic Flyer!

Quickly, the mic was packed and GONE......they knew they were in trouble and disappeared!

Off to lunch Flyer tells two trash can shoppers....hey, they're giving away shoes over there....another Flyer classic!

"Nearly a dozen?" Any leftist cause that can't turn out 12 college students in a big city with one or more colleges only shows how little support it has!

When I was a law student at UNC-Chapel Hill in the mid-1980s, no protest drawing under 100 was noteworthy. Any leftist cause drew 50.

Scandals of antigun activists and politicians - coast to coast!

CAMP GUNFREE.
A common sense and historically proven way to keep those dangerous and destructive GUNS out of YOUR life.
MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE NOW!
Details below

Concerned about the easy availability of guns in our society?

Alarmed about the "gun nuts" and other freedom wackos the government allows to run loose?

Wish the government would just repeal the Second Amendment and confiscate all the guns because you believe sensible people shouldn't suffer because of some idiotic notion about some antiquated “right?”

While we can't take the guns away from the people, we CAN take the people (or at least SOME of them) away from their guns.

At CAMP GUNFREE, we have created an atmosphere of near-total tranquility where you and your family will experience the benefits of a GUN FREE environment.


The unique main gate at Camp GunFree. Most arriving camp guests never see this view from their comfortable rail cars.

Each of our camps is a gated community designed to keep guns away from camp guests. Firmly enforced security measures ensure that these dangerous and destructive devices are kept outside. Each camp boasts 24 hour, 7 day a week sentries and state-of-the-art enclosure systems, guard dogs, trenches and surveillance equipment to absolutely GUARANTEE that no firearms enter the facility. Rigidly controlled access ensures that no guns can ever be smuggled in.

No cost has been spared to ensure that Camp GunFree remains gun free.

All camp members are given distinctive uniforms to distinguish them from any gun-toting barbarians who might attempt to evade our security measures. Each camp member is also assigned a distinctive ID number to ensure that only the right people are allowed within the camp.


Room and board are provided to each member in exchange for rewarding tasks designed to provide a sense of accomplishment and to demonstrate that large numbers of people CAN exist in a gun violence free community.

Camp members engaged in one of our many fun-filled organized work activities.


The current headlines prompt us to remind you that there has NEVER been a shooting by a student in any of the camp schools and we can GUARANTEE that there never will be!!

For more information, call 1-800-GUNFREE

"...nearly a dozen youth ..."

Must be the same 12 they dragged down to Austin last year to "testify".
Guess there're only 12 that stupid in Texas.
