This is sounding like the trucker strike that was going to surround Washington DC a few months ago. How many showed up? What 12?


I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

The media is effective isn't it. It keeps Americans ignorant of the truth, and they parrot what they hear. grin

It isn't just gun owners that are being labeled; it's also Christians in this country. Now before some of you who aren't, in any serious way, belittle that, stop and think of the origin of most conservative values. Most here would subscribe to a similar way of life, of living with similar priorities.. But, what the left has no cogent argument against, it labels and libels and marginalizes. This has happened frequently in history, Nazi Germany being the iconic example of the twentieth century and it can and will happen again.

I fear for our country, not for myself anymore as I'm 64, but for those behind us and, and really for the stupidity and arrogant foolishness of it all--jettisoning the values that made this arguably at one time the greatest and most unique nation in the history of the world. I cannot believe what I near coming out of the mouths of our leaders these last years; I can only imagine what doesn't see the light of day.

We are in for trying times. I'm not an angry man (though I am white) nor a naturally pessimistic one but I do not see the trajectory of this country as a rosy or good one. This gun registration/confiscation issue in Ct. and elsewhere is just one thing, a symptom, of a what has become a Godless culture; and a Godless culture naturally devolves to a totalitarian state. And while we here are not all Christians, we value "reasonable" independence and the freedom to live our lives the way we choose along with its commensurate responsibility. The secular information elites not having the paradigm for life a God gave us have to construct one--the same one they gave constructed throughout history over and over again: we will tell you what's best for you.

Sorry, a little long winded, but this is not a one-issue juggernaut. And I don't mean to belittle the subject of the thread at all.

Two things that Christians and gun advocates have in common:

1.) Their loudest proponents are the dumbest of the lot.

2.) They're horrible at marketing.

Don't know if this guy lives in Conn., but he makes some really good points. Anyone in a state like Conn., New Yorkistan, Maryland, California may want to pay attention and listen to what is coming.

The left has the history of lenin, stalin. hitler, mao, pol pot, castro, chavez, kin jong. This is their incarnation on US soil. People should know by the 0bama stickers who their local threats are. The politicians are clear on their left/ right orientation which looks clearly to be evil vs good. There will be a fight and one side will win. Giving in to gun grabs favors the left/evil.

So the bottom line is, it's REALLY difficult to drive from (in my case) Oregon to Conn. and protest. Not to mention 13 mpg in my truck for 5-6K miles, places to stay, etc.

Not excuses, just reality, for ALOT of guys. So where should we help? Could we sponsor a closer member to go? How can we know the $ we send will be used and not scammed? If we want to get boots on the ground and they can't be our own, how can we effectively help?

they put up a link to donate, the protest I hope is vocal but peaceful.


we're gonna have to be tough enough to let the other side strike the first blow in this whole shebang

in fact if we're truly to be successful we may indeed have practice more cheek turning than many of us have ever done in our natural born lives.

they need to see anger, but if it's accompanied by violence that can be said to have started from our side, we'll lose the battle of public opinion.

hoping many LEO show up for it as well, would be hella cool if they could be in uniform


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Campfire Brigade, Caravan, whatever you want to call it. Ride sharing,cost sharing will get it done. I dont think any state boys are going to stop several vehicles driving together and loaded with X number of guys fully locked and loaded???

Dude...I don't think this is what is being discussed. I think this is supposed to be a peaceful protest not the violent overthrow of a duly elected state government. It's a show of numbers not weapons or force. A peaceable demonstration to show that there are a lot of people across the country that do not want the rights of their compatriots in Connecticut violated. Y'all show up with a bunch of guns and you are asking to get taken down hard and fast. There are other options than threats of violence at this point. I believe there is an option that is a legal one, for these guys to move their guns and magazines out of state. They can do this and fight this through legal channels for the time being. A show of numbers will help. Taking on the Connecticut National Guard with Homeland Security calling the shots will not.

This^^ I believe they are pushing, pushing, testing the waters to see how far they can go until something snaps. And if say, something does snap and some type of violence erupts, that gives "them" the opportunity to win the public opinion war, and gives Zero the chance to declare martial law and then everything heads down the toilet.

To eventually get to the point of outright confiscation, they've got to incrementally turn up the heat. At the point where vast numbers say "no more", they're going to have to pause and contemplate the cost of continuing forward. It's not time for armed confrontation. It's time to make THEM back down. This will be done with vast numbers protesting, winning public opinion, costly litigation, and making THEM look bad.

Vast numbers of people showing up to peacefully protest, albeit angry people, will make an impression on the population at large, on the LEO's, and on the politicos.

Leave the guns at home.
