It's an interesting dynamic. Hopefully it causes a lot of re-evaluating previous allegiances.

Should I have told folks "Well let's just not bother because it won't do much good."

I wish my local librarian looked like that. Next time I open carry when checking out a book, I’ll ask if they can hire one.

Looks like it went off without a hitch, and the good people of Pittsburgh stood up to be counted. (even tho they carried their guns)

I didn't even read any negative about it. wellllll, just some.

I can't understand how anyone could listen to that young man's message and be turned off despite the fact that he had an AR-15 on his shoulder. Any logical person would realize the AR-15 display was part of the rally and most likely not his modus operandi, same with most of the other pro-gun folks there.


That guys interview would have been more effective if he hadn't had the AR displayed.
Somebody should tell the demonstrators that they are not there to simply protest against the proposed changes to gun laws in a fashion that will get cheers from other gun owners, and they should conduct themseves in a way that will gain support for their cause from some of those who do not own guns.

As cities go, Pittsburgh is probably more gun friendly than most. I doubt yesterday's rally did much to change that, but I don't think it brought anyone who was dubious over to the side of the gun owners. The pro-gun message is much better received when there is no gun displayed to draw attention away from words.

I would not attend a rally where we are encouraged to make a spectacle of our right to carry openly. I think it's a misguided tactic and is much more likely to make gun owner look bad without any chance of gain support for the cause.................BTW, do you suppose all those guys took a day off work?

OK, gryhkl give us your game plan!! Your gun rights are being taking away bit by bit. People take days off work every day, the point is THEY were there. If you do nothing you have to take what they push up you @$$: JMO

Stop encouraging open carry at the rallies and demonstrations.
Gun owners should not use in-your-face tactics to make their arguement.
The American people demanding stricter gun laws will grow in leaps with each shooting. We need to rationally present ourselves in effort to make more folks realize that the best way to stop a bad man with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.

There are many who represent gun owners better than ted n.. Why does he gets so much attention?..........because his over-the-top fanatical rants make gun owners look like a pile of nutballs. His tactics gain us absolutely no benefit while it does hurt us by painting us as wackos.

Too much of what is done by those who say they represent gunowners in the news is done to please, or play hero, to other gun owners-they are already with us. Stop preaching to the choir.

It will go to court before they can ban semi's

It's in our state constitution that municipalities cannot regulate guns over state law.

The dem controlled cities of this state sure try tho..................
