Well, the anti's have finally published their list of events for their part of National Exercise Your Rights Day.
They are planning to exercise their First Amendment Rights in the following ways:
- a rally at a park in Newark near the school where the recent shootings took place
- a protest at a gun store in Maryland that is responsible for the most crime guns found in Washington, D.C.
- a candlelight vigil at the Arizona state capitol in Phoenix
- a community gathering at a church in Birmingham, Alabama
- an anti-violence coalition breakfast in Minneapolis
- community forums on illegal guns in San Diego and Philadelphia
- a march down Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. and rally in Dallas
- a bell-ringing for gun violence victims at city hall in Duluth, Minnesota
- a “freeway blog” over a busy highway in Houston
- a silence vigil to protest recent shootings in Denver
- a kick-off BBQ for Operation Ceasefire in Ewing, New Jersey
- and Protest Easy Guns Lie-Ins in Seattle, Raleigh, Philadelphia, Portland (Maine), Minneapolis, St. Paul, Richmond (Calif.), and Springfield (Ill.)
- a statewide letter writing campaign is being organized in California to build support for a crime-fighting “microstamping” bill being considered by the State Legislature.
More information can be found on the Brady web site at: http://www.bradycampaign.org/action/trafficking/aug28/
I encourage gun rights activists nationwide to exercise your First and Second Amendment Rights by helping to make next Tuesday a record sales day for your local firearms and ammunition dealers and a record letter and e-mail day for your elected officials.
If you live in an area where an anti-gun activity is scheduled, please show up at their events with proper attire, buttons, and signage to let these folks know that you support ALL of their rights.
We've gotten a lot of responses from activists around the country planning to take individual action, but not a lot of information about group actions. The Second Amendment Sisters and Maryland activists are planning to "support" the event at Realco Guns in Upper Marlboro, Maryland from Noon to 2:00 and while it is difficult to ask activists in Northern Virginia to disarm and venture into "The People's Republic of Maryland", I am planning to do so and your support would be appreciated. Since this is going to be the official event for the DC area, it is also likely to be the biggest and receive the most publicity so we need the best turnout possible.
If you or your group is planning any organized activity - march, shooting event, picnic, group buying trips, or whatever, please let us know so we can help get more people to join you.
If you are willing to coordinate an event, please let us know.
Missouri residents are reminded that your new law goes into effect on the 28th which should lower costs for you.
Please forward this alert to everyone on your e-mail list and copy it into your favorite firearms forums.
Yours for the Second Amendment,
Jeff Knox

Here in Missouri it's not the $10 we'll save that's the big issue, it's not having to go to our Sheriff for a 'Mommy, may I?" (aka PTA or 'Permit To Acquire') that matters.
Just about every gun shop I know of is having extra help in on Tuesday. I'm getting a Springfield XD9SC and the ever-indulgent wife's getting a G26. |
