I've heard several people express discontent that religion and prepping was a strong point of the speeches. I understand their grief, but to me, life is ginormous series of Venn diagrams. We all fit in them somewhere, but there is no guarantee that the guy standing next to you has anything in common. At today's rally, we ALL had something big in common. Everything else doesn't matter, everything else is what makes us different and makes us individuals. We share a core set of values when it comes to the 2nd Amendment, everything else has to be accepted with it. Some believe in God, some do not. Some have 3000 cans of beans stashed in their basement, some depend on fast food and frequent grocery trips. I try to focus on what's important to all of us here, on this forum, there are other forums for everything else.
Anyway, my soap box is starting to creek, so I'm going to shut up now. I'm just glad we all showed up and hopefully played a part in making a change. |

Looked at the Daily Zero after getting back from church. Front page article about 2 dozen people sitting around saying how we need more control. Had to go to page 2 to find an article about the rally. In that article the State Patrol was quoted as estimating 1200 to 1500 people in attendance. I guess the smaller group gets the better coverage when they agree with the editorial policy of the fish wrap.
Good rally. Keep up the energy and keep reminding your elected representatives that you are watching and expecting them to uphold their oath of office to preserve and protect the Constitution. Some are a bit challenged in that respect. |

Sunday front page layouts are often done days in advance. John Dodge has been a front page Sunday feature for years

That's actually pretty effing great. Any publicity is good publicity. Sure the anti-gunners get their panties in a bunch but eff em. We are here to stay and I won't be sitting around worrying about a "good guy" image with my pinkie out sipping tea trying to look good for anyone. Some folks that see that image are going to want to see more images...and bam. Gotcha! _________________ Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. |

Good to see Waguns there, I forgot my damn hat, I talked my brother into coming along, he wanted carry my AR but was afraid to carry it up to the rally so I put on my pistol over my coat & slung my AR over my shoulder & we started walking from 2 blocks away, I had two people come up to me the last block & ask to buy my AR, no thanks. When we got to the rally & he saw the guns he was happy to carry my AR then...lol.. my older brother has gotten so afraid of the law in his old age.
The wife said she saw the back of my jacket on the news, the big EAGLE & FLAG she embroidered on the back of my jean jacket. How I missed this post before I went I will never know.. |

DSynger wrote: I thought the turn out was great, but I was actually taken back by the speakers a bit. First, I'm pretty much an atheist and secular humanist, so the whole God given thing doesn't carry the same weight as the vast majority. Plus, I kinda expect a little less tunnel vision regarding the 1st Amendment when we're rallying to protect the 2nd Amendment. I can let it slide, but felt a little left out. However, I was hoping some of the comments weren't caught for replay later. While I can understand, and actually support, some of the comments about prepping, I was hoping for more of a rational discourse over an emotional one. All I could see were sound bites used to discredit the support we were trying develop. I'm not dogging on anyone's statemetn and saying their bad, I'm saying I was hoping for some cander to make sure we didn't throw any more ammunition in the anti-gunners laps. For those not into God and gun or prepping, those comments can alienate instead of winning over or validating the existing faith in the pro-gunners. Just my 2 cents. +1......but I'll still show up lol |
