Gun Legislation--Nationwide Peaceful Protest 1/19/13

Post by wems2371 » Mon Jan 14, 2013 9:44 am

I don't know if everyone can access a FB link, but there is a Guns Across America protest being organized in most states, this coming Saturday at noon. Most are held at the state capitals, but check to be sure. There is a scrolldown at the top of GAA's page, giving links to all the states and further information. I'd put up the individual state links, but they are all to FB pages as well.

Reminder... :wink:
"Guns Across America" is going to take place Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013 at "high noon." This is going to be a peaceful picketing protest against ANY, AND ALL future gun legislation. This is our chance to reach out to our elected officials, and tell them NO NEW GUN LAWS! "Guns Across America" is being tailored to happen in every states capital city**, at their capital building. The theory behind doing this event on a Saturday, is most conservative gun owners work a typical Monday through Friday job. I'm hoping for a massive response by doing this on a weekend.

Mission Statement:
Guns Across America Events are committed to supporting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as outlined in the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. Our goal is to inform and educate the public about their Constitutional Rights . Our objective is to ensure that law abiding citizens retain those rights through peaceful and legal means."

Sounds like a group who didn't really believe what you were saying but didn't want to have an argument about it so they just agreed with you.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!

Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Three hundred in Rapid City. Disappointed it wasn't three thousand. I suspect that most aren't taking the current threat seriously. Hope they get involved before it's too late.

We had around 300-400 people as well. I agree about those not taking the threat seriously. I also think there a lot of people that are willing to let others handle the issues and hope the decisions fall their way.

Just a few pics I took yesterday. Click on the photo, and it will show completely, if it doesn't already.
