Just thought I'd share in case anyone wants to organize a counter protest.

Is there not an organization hosting a counter protest?

 

[TheRude1]

No thanks

 

[JeremiahJohnson]

I'm sure the dozen or show that show up will get tired and go home eventually. And of course the media will report the huge support in Indiana for UBC and "common sense" gun control.

 

[Field King]

UBC: O.K, cuz that way every criminal will have to pass a background check before he steals a gun to commit an act of violence. geeez?

 

[croy]

Well... Anyone planning on going as a counter protest?

Well, I'm quite sure the guys that broke into 500 guns this morning passed their background checks before stealing anything.

I'll be there sitting on the fence and arguing for whoever is the underdog. I will be unarmed so this is yer chance to get me.

i was hoping to go. but with the negative press we got last time, there are alot of angry "moms" out there. i am a firm believer in "safety in numbers". not that im physically afriad but if only one shows up (if the are OCing) its probably going to be painted in a very poor light in the media

Working or else I would

I got a dollar that this will be just like 0 care.
We will not know all that is in it till it is passed and then some people are going to get a belly full of what they thought they wanted and will realize how much of a mistake they made and it will never be undone screwing generations to come.

And not just the ignorant voter is seeing what some are doing

Now that's conviction

 

[ModernGunner]

Gun protest on Thursday...

But, I don't WANT to protest guns, Thursday or any other day! I LIKE guns!

 

[Viper1973]

These 'soccer moms' need to get a life (or a job)!

 

[findingZzero]

Now that's conviction

I'd call it ambivalence. That doesn't mean I don't care, but I agree with some arguments on either side. In gen'l, I see the world in shades of grey, not black and white. YEMV.

I see what you did there. and I counter with

*****Who will save us from the zealots******

there were only 8 of them huddled under the building overhang looking very defeated

 

[cbhausen]

Were there any pro-gun folks there to oppose them?

Were there any pro-gun folks there to oppose them?

Indeed. If there were 8 of them and none of us, they win.

And no, I also wasn't there this time, so I'm not casting stones.
