Gun owners, rights activists, and lovers of liberty will be gathering on the lawn of the Capitol Building in Washington DC on Saturday, November 2nd, 2019, at 1:00 in the afternoon. The 2nd Amendment Rally is organized by The Firearms Coalition. We invite all interested firearms owners who can reach DC (without difficulty) to attend the rally, and show support for our Second Amendment rights.
Commentary by Jeff Knox, Firearms Coalition
This is a grassroots effort, and you are the grassroots. Without the active participation of you and other grassroots activists, this isn’t going to work. At the recent Gun Rights Policy Conference, activist Nicki Stallard characterized the difference between rights activists and gun control extremists, saying that we’re herding cats, while they are stampeding cattle. That’s pretty accurate, though I think sheep or lemmings would be more appropriate in describing anti-rights activists.
If you live within 200 miles of DC, there is little excuse for missing this critical event, and many people who live much farther away will be doing whatever it takes to be there. Buses are being arranged by local groups from as far away as New York, Ohio, and South Carolina. Check with your local groups to see what arrangements are being made, and if they aren’t doing anything, take the initiative and volunteer to be the local coordinator to take reservations and rent a bus or van.
The core message of the 2nd Amendment Rally, is “We Are the Gun Lobby”, as in “We the People”, and we demand that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights be respected and adhered to. President Trump, Vice President Pence, Rep. Scalise, Rep. Massie, Sen. Paul, and other congressional leaders have been invited, to join with grassroots rights leaders and activists from around the country. CLICK HERE for list of speakers.
