What if You Hold an Anti-gun Protest and Nobody Comes?

[silverlance]

Here in Ohio, at least in NE Ohio, I don't think ANYTHING happened. They're pretty "gunshy" here since '04 when Tobey Hoover tried to organize a protest against the state senator here who was the big supporter of concealed carry. We outnumbered them probably eight to one. We got to the protest site before THEY did, and SURROUNDED them, so that the media couldn't turn a camera on them without getting one of OUR signs in the frame. To add insult to injury, right when Tobey started to speak, John Lott showed up unannounced. The media practically trampled Tobey to get to Lott.

I bought a bunch of ammunition yesterday as a counterprotest, and I know a lot of other peopled did as well. I'll bet a hundred times as many people bought ammunition yesterday as protested.

Jackson Protesters Tell Chicago Gangs to Get Back in School and Get Jobs.

I don't know how to post the picture, but look at the signs the protestors are holding in the picture at this link to the Chicago Tribune. The signs say, "Schools and Jobs, Not Drugs and Guns".

Are they telling the gang members of Chicago to focus on getting an education and/or getting a job and stop dealing/ snorting/ shooting drugs and stop dealing/shooting guns? Well, we can hope, can't we?

It looks like the protests have gotten more press here on THR, than in the media.~

 

[Smokingboomstick]

Haha I would of thought more people would of showed up. That's quite funny.

The 32-second duration of the event is how long authorities estimate it took for 23-year-old shooter Cho Seung-Hui to buy each of the several guns he brandished during the April attack.

More made up BS by the anti's! I've a CHL so my purchases don't need to be called in for "instant" check and it takes a lot longer than that to complete the transaction.

That's good, but still two too many.

That shows a number of things about the Puget Sound Anti-Gun groups:
1) All messages were sent thru communication gap
2) There is no intelligence in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (also nothing timely in the Seattle Times)
3) This group could have been run over by a skatboarder
4) They timed this to totally miss any local evening news broadcast from the Seattle TV stations.

How sad.

Heck, I could go next door and hand out Subway sandwhiches and get a bunch of homeless guys to show up at a demonstration in favor of El Tejon as Supreme Leader

Put me down for a steak and cheese and I'm there too.....

 

[coelacanth]

wait a minute. . . . .

you tellin' me I could get a sub sandwich and all I gotta' do is carry a sign sayin' El Tejon for Supreme Leader? Where do I sign up?

There wasn't a million but there was a whole lot more than 20,000. I think this incident is funny but don't underestimate them, either. A change in political tide and they'll be back.

 

[Dorryn]

Its just easier to remember. 32 dead. 32 seconds to buy a gun. 32, 32, 32. More gibberish with little basis in reality.

 

[Cannonball888]

2 people? In Seattle? Wow, that's pathetic

No, that's apathetic.
