Today, Americans in every state will be holding rallies for gun rights at their state capitols. The first pro-gun rallies of the year were held on January 19th and most states had a large turn out. These peaceful demonstrations are expected to attract larger crowds due to unconstitutional legislation submitted by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) on January 24, 2013. The ban would prohibit the sale, transfer, importation and manufacture of over 150 firearms, so-called 'assault weapons' and possibly many more. The bill includes ludicrous and privacy-violating policies such as, "Imposing a safe storage requirement for grandfathered firearms, to keep them away from prohibited persons."
Pro-Second Amendment websites, gun clubs, Tea Party groups, 912 Project groups and others are promoting today's events. One Facebook page, 2nd Right, has connections to each states rally information. Oregon, Washington, Texas and New Jersey have some of the biggest turnouts. If the rallies are anything like last months, there will be a good variety of speakers and maybe some entertainment. Information will available on how people can get involved in the movement to stop Sen. Feinstein and President Obama's gun grab. There are two more upcoming events gaining popularity: The Day of Resistance is planned for February 23rd, also at the state capitols, and Gun Rights Across America's Operation Sheriff Outreach, March 13th, at county Sheriff offices around the country.
Participants are hoping to get American citizens more active in this patriotic fight. The president and his administration obviously have no intention of following the Constitution. They seek to eliminate the 2nd and 4th Amendments. There are currently over thirty anti-gun pieces of legislation before Congress. That is unacceptable. With some states and Sheriff's across the country refusing to enforce the unconstitutional changes if they pass, there's still a chance, albeit small, that pro-gun citizens will be able to remain free of the overreaching government that's slowly turning into a dictatorship.

The only people who benefit from this rhetoric are those who profit from it. So if our economy is half as horrible as some people say, and people can't afford housing, can't find jobs etc., how can they afford to stockpile?
1) {Today Americans in every state will be holding rallie for gun rights at their state capitols.
Margie, if you want to promote gun ownership and/or to write about associated rallies which support of such ownership, that is certainly your right to do so. However, it is preplexing why you as a devout Mormon would choose to write such an article. Additionally, the way the articles are written, it give one the feeling that you are supporting such rallies, something that would be in direct violation of the Mormon faith's doctrine of non violence.
2) {The Day of Resistance is planned for February 23rd, also at the state capitols, and Gun Rights Across America's Operation Sheriff Outreach, March 13th, at county Sheriff offices around the country.}
Once again, it is even more preplexing to me why a person of the Mormon faith would be writing an article which not only denotes past rallies, but also denotes future rallies being held for gun rights and unfettered gun ownership. Rallies which are the skewed brainchild of extremist, propagandist and conspiracy theorist within the far rightwing of the Teapublican Party. Rallies which support ideas and issues which are in direct conflict with President Obama's attempt in urging Congress to legislate laws designed to curb gun violence in our country.
3) {The first pro-gun rallies of the year were held on January 19th and most states had a large turn out.}
I am further preplexed by the knowingly disingenuous statement which you wrote in your article which suggested those in attendance as being large in numbers at the previously held January rallies. I question this, since the numbers were not large at all, with no more than the largest in attendance being 2,000 in only 2 of the 19 rallies held. In fact, the numbers were only in the dozens up to 100 in the majority of all the rallies. A total for all 19 rallies being less 9,000 attendees in the whole United States, a country with a population of more than 320 million people.
You would serve yourself far better and do yourself far less embarrassment, if you would learn to better comprehend what you read before you respond with a counter comment.
I have observed that the majority of the time your comments are written with neither objective thought nor appropriate understanding of the subject and/or issue of discussion. Further, you seem to read a posted comment with a closed mind and tunnel vision in thought along with a poor understanding of what was actually written within the comment.
Mormons have a history of persecution and, as much as libs hate it, self reliance. They have reason to fear the government intrusion in their lives as much as others of us that just want to be left alone.
As for comments not being objective, yours are biased and reflect the insanity that only with more restrictive laws will we be safe.
In the Newtown incident 41 laws were broken. Will one more really make a difference?
Just stay away from my posted comments and you want get your feelings hurt. You are unfortunately known for commenting on things which you obviously know little about and then you get bent out of shape when your inaccuracies are pointed out to you.
please, please hurt my feelings.
Your words: "it give one the feeling that you are supporting such rallies, something that would be in direct violation of the Mormon faith's doctrine of non violence."
My words:
"what is violent about a rally, just because the left views rallies and violence as one and the same, does not mean the rest of us do. Further more, it is a fact that a well armed people is a significant deterrent of violence it self. Thus Obamas push for disarmament is viewed as a shot across the bow of freedom. He is the aggressor."
You talk so much about my lack of understanding, yet in all of these posts, you fail to refute anything with any real substantive argument.
Biden Foot in Mouth Syndrome is showing again........In other words he's saying we're doing this because we want to and have no regards to the Constitution, and the Administration is pushing Socialism and a dictatorship, but we have everyone thinking this is for the best for
'the kids'. And sadly the sheeple fall into lock step behind the administration and do as he wishes, and when the sheeple wake up and realize what has been done, it will be too late.
You have heard what Senator (cough cough) Fienstein has called for, both law abiding civilians and law enforcement to lay down their arms, and then the criminals will lay down their arms as well.
What you say is absolutely correct. Banning and reugulation of arms will be more helpful, because when do criminals obey laws?
I read after the Sandy Hook shooting several complaints of the Oregon Mall Shooter was soipped by a civilian who shot him with a gun that he was licensed to own and carry concealed.
Apparently, and accordging to the the man carrying the concealed hand gun parts were true. He was at that mall at that time (with a friend and the friend's child) He owns a gun. True. He is licensed to carry it concealed. True He advised the friend and child to get into a nearby store and stay low. True. He got behind a column. True. Peered out to see the shooter. True. Drew his weapon. True. Looked back around, noticed there were some people who in panic or whatever were behind the shooter appearing to look for the nearest place to hids. All true. Then realized if he took a shot there was a risk of shooting a civilian. True. holdtered his gun and ran to the store he sent his friend and daughter too. Hero's aren't born they become. He used his skills, knwoledge and brain to determine the best course of action and I applaud hism for that.
Besides I have my moments where he only thing I can think is "good thing there is a mandatory waiting period (3 days in my state). That and I have tremors (bad ones) on top of general clutz so the thought of me owning a gun is IMO a very bad idea.
I believe that the nationwide rallies have all been canceled by the Gun Rally Committee for lack of donated support money. The committee had supposedly needed $100,000.00 but received less than $ 27,000.00 in donations from party supporters.
