    Say 1,000 anti gunners show up and 500 pro gun show up, I can see the MSM reports now "1,500 people showed in support of the rally and a few counter protesters were seen" an air view of all the people.

    Well watching MSM is your first mistake. They constantly report in favor of regressives.
    You gotta stand for something or you fall for anything. So by listening to each other, we find what exactly? Capitulation? Why should those who are right compromise with those who have no regard for the law, the Republic, the Constitution, tolerance, and basic human decency?

    My point is that it would be better served to hold a rally somewhere else while they have their's. The people you want to inform are those more towards the center or on the fence (haven't made up their mind). When many see two factions that despise each other, most those that haven't picked a side are trying to make sure they don't get caught in the middle. Who then are you preaching to?

    At a protest (not that I have attended one), I am not preaching to anyone but rather taking a stand for what I believe in. When you are right, you don't have to wear a mask, tear crap up, or initiate an assault. Honestly, I don't run into many people "on the fence". Most have a definite bent to what they believe in rather right or wrong. I also do't think that small minority of the population will attend a protest on either side.

    Video footage of Portland is ridiculous. IF I did go to a protest, Yeah I would definitely have a helmet, a gun, and probably a ball peen hammer. WHEN the altercation begins (let's be honest, most on the left want a confrontation) the right needs to finish it, not to change their mind but rather to convince them that rioting is a bad idea. St. Louis didn't go so well for some business owners. :"Talking civilly" to them really doesn't mean much. People remember pain though.

    These protests are not staged in areas where one can legally carry.

    They depend on that being the case.

    The squeaky wheel gets the grease. And as it is right now the left is the squeaky wheel. The right is loosing the war.

    The right needs to have rallies also. We should be having rallies all across the nation promoting Trump's immigration policies. And we should be protesting the lack of justice for hillary and the other corruption in DC.

    My friend said that she went to a pro-carry event in Santa Fe (Carry for our kids), but it was kind of a bust and an echo chamber of people who all thought the same (no new people influenced) and not a lot of coverage. So a lot of effort on a Saturday for meh.

    Unlike Portland where Antifa sought out the Patriots, therefore being the aggressor, the pro gun counter protest will be looked upon as the aggressor. I don't believe the right is losing the war, in fact I see more and more evidence of defection from the left everyday. Lies can only be perpetuated so much before even people who are blinded by it come to a point where it's just too ridiculous.

    The only war the Right is losing is who can make the most noise and cause the most riots.

    What have any of these Leftist protests accomplished? Besides a few areas passing bad laws that they wanted to pass anyways they have only made themselves look bad.

    Let them keep doing what they are doing. We don't need to show up when they are only there to cause trouble.

    We need to be VERY careful, WalkAway only ends up with them gaining more and more ground. Across the US the far left states are registering guns, banning AR's and creating laws that make you a felon. Cali has forced the issue on stamping data on bullet casings in spite of it impossibility, don't have then you are a felon by default.

    Where are all the #NAI (not another inch) folks? I know where they are at and I also know exactly how much they are willing to give.

    Gun control is going to come easy all they have to do is pass laws that make you a felon by default. Register every gun you got and all guns that are on the Ban list you turn in or face arrest and big fines and up to 10 years in jail.

    California Justices Toss Bullet Stamping Suit

    The Latest on a ruling by the California Supreme Court on a state bullet stamping law (all times local):

    The groups argued that technology did not exist to meet the stamping requirements, and a law can’t mandate something that’s not possible.

    The court said impossibility can sometimes lead courts to excuse a failure to comply with a law. But it said it can’t be the basis for invalidating a law.

    Of course, the gun grabbers celebrated defeating the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Even the California Attorney General celebrated in restricting guns rights of California citizens.

    Attorney General Becerra Secures Victory

    “Today’s ruling confirms that California can create incentives for the gun industry to make products that serve the public’s needs,” said Attorney General Becerra. “Innovation and technology will continue to drive California to be a leader. We will not go backwards.

    The California Department of Justice is committed to reducing gun violence and improving the ability of law enforcement to fight crime and hold accountable those who commit firearm murders and assaults.”



    Wondering, how many people here have ever killed a communist?

    Does the right need to rally/protest? I don't think so. I think more need to get involved in their GOP state and local primaries to start change. There would be less Rinos in DC. I think the school system needs to be radically changed to stop brainwashing students.
    I think we should also enforce law at riots. Wooden shampoos, tear gas, and freely allow business owners to defend their shops up to shooting people.

    I think we need to be ready to answer why socialism is not the answer while spending less time kn9wing NFL and NBA stats. Lastly, I think we need the Judeo Christian God as a moral compass.

    I am certainly not going to look to California as a barometer of the nation, not to say I'm not concerned with what is happening there, but anyone can see just by the exodus of it's people that California has and is continuing to spiral down the toilet.

    There are "rallies" constantly where productive people get together for good causes...

    It's called WORK, and people have regular JOBs where they visit these "rallies" for sometimes more than 40 hours a week!

    I would gladly join a rally that is intent on educating those that are willing to listen, but I'm not into joining hecklers to those that have already made up their minds. There is a reason that the gun grabbers rally in areas that are mainly left, they know they won't be outnumbered and if something were to happen they believe that they will be shown to be righteous in those areas.

    I still believe that informing my representatives of my beliefs and voting is the strongest way to fight unconstitutional legislation, not yelling or bashing heads in the street.

    Yet rallies do not have to be yelling or bashing heads in the street. They can be a public display of support for a position and a display of solidarity. I think your earlier point on having the counter rally separated by some distance (yet perhaps not too distant) bears serious consideration.

    Informing your representatives of your beliefs and voting is an essential part of fighting the left.

    I have never advocated violence as a solution to our problems. Peaceful rallies would go a long way to help our side.

    All it takes is one hothead.

    And yes, I want to educate people, not show that we have muscle too.

    The OTHER side is getting LOTS of attention this week. I'm wondering when massive protests from our side are going to occur? By letting this open border bullshit go on and on, without push back, isn't OUR side taking it in the shorts? Lots of sheep out there are getting only the liberal side of things. Any thoughts on this?

    When they poke the lion's cage too much. it aint going to be pretty and they will wish they left well enough alone. No doubt in my mind. IN all honestly though protests about abolishing ICE and stuff actually helps our side.
