What these protesters do is point out is the nearly endless supply of new little democrats recruiting to the voting ranks every year. Many of them will eventually mature into rational Conservatives after they have been exposed to real world experiences of holding down a job, supporting a family, making house payments and paying taxes, etc., but it is a continuous battle to maintain a voter base with enough rational thinking adults to balance those who let emotions drive decisions.

Gun Rights Rally:

The second amendment isn’t just about guns. It’s about supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression and the civic duty to act in defense of our families and our communities.

Self-defense is indeed at the core of the Second Amendment and an element in the Founders’ political thought generally. At the same time it is important to realize that the Founding Fathers’ view of self protection was not only more favorable but also more inclusive than the concept as disfavored by many modern thinkers. To the Founders and their intellectual progenitors, being prepared for self-defense was a moral imperative as well as a pragmatic necessity; moreover, its pragmatic value lay less in repelling usurpation than in deterring it before it occurred.

Modern thinkers feel the need to strip away our natural born right to self-protection by limiting the available weapons that are at our disposal. They blame mental illness without documentation. They blame everything except the sole responsible party, the person involved in the action.
With the support of thousands of American Patriots across this great country, we will assemble at every state capitol at 1pm CDT on Saturday April 14, 2018 to show our support for our 2nd Amendment rights and to support our Constitution as a whole. Please help support us to defend and educate about our founding documents and honor our Forefathers who sacrificed and dedicated so much for us to have the freedoms we do today!

If you want to head off gun control, start NOW, not when the laws are passed. Get the email address you need for your area of your reps and senators put them in your email address book. Let them know how you feel .JMO

Good post. Should be able to Google your State legislatures and then be able to navigate through to find your districts
and reps for each.Take the time to engage them through email or phone calls.Make your position known.

Minds are changing some to a lot, laws are changing little to none and thus there will be a large separation in the society as to what is wanted versus what is had.
That is the good thing about a democracy is that many laws can change quite slowly even in the face of strong public opinion. The bad part about democracy is when the demographic changes and the sentiments come together changes that come won't be small or slow, they will be significant and quick. That may take 20-40 years, or we could decide to move more slowly on issues such as firearms and a whole host of other domestic and foreign issues. The advantage of slow change is that most of us over 55 won't be around to see the real impacts. The not so good thing for those that are counter our current society and are under 55 they will see and feel a lot of change.

Yup. I didnt think I needed another AR. They made me decide to buy another in case one day I can't. They also made me change my mind and decide I wasn't giving enough to the NRA.

I think so too. If they would never name these shooters, it might discourage some of these half-brained idiots. Or, if they would televise the consequences of their actions months and even years later. To be cut off from society and living in isolation forever, with no hope, should be a deterrent to any person with even a little sanity.


The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Dismal depends upon what you are for or want. For those that want a rural setting with lots of freedoms and younger generations thinking like they do the future could look dismal. If one is willing to look at how things can be resolved instead of won or lost it may not be so dismal. The reality is that there are millions if not hundreds of millions already alive in the USA who we condemn regularly because they don't follow exactly our thought process and we ridicule their behavior and their principles so waiting for them to make huge swings in who they identify with is probably wishful thinking on our part.

Now this is Arkansas not some liberal northeast or west coast state. I saw a sign in someones yard toady on the outskirts of town that said Ban Assault Rifles. You don't see signs like that much in this country, most here own a gun.
