If you believe what you just said, then IMHO your head is buried in the sand. Our elected officials care NOTHING about what their constituency wants, PERIOD.

If we're interested in changing opinions, this is a stupid idea. Civil disobedience takes on a different character when you've got hundreds or thousands of people carrying illegal weapons. It becomes insurrection. Not a great image for opinion-changing.
Rosa Parks wasn't armed. You can be certain that incident would have ended differently had she been sporting a gun.

If you truly believe that our leaders are afraid of us you also, IMHO, have your head buried in the sand.

this has the potential of doing more harm then good. Very bad idea!! with that many people the odds of someone doing something stupid is very high. Hell at the gun show this year someone shot them self. It would only take one for all hell to break loose.
Do you really think that they want our guns because our leaders are afraid of us? I can tell you this, if our tyrannical federal government wanted to they would murder every last person in this country man, woman and child with no reason whatsoever, is it likely nope, but look at Kent State, or Wounded Knee, or even Ruby Ridge. The government will do what it wants, and no amount of guns or ammo will be able to stop them. I also truly believe that if they needed to, the FEDGOV wouldnt hesitate to drop a nuke on us.

This.
Our government far from fears us. A huge portion of our nation is uneducated and weak minded. You really think that is something to be feared? If anything, most people fear our government, because a lot of people depend on our government. Just as you and I worry about losing our jobs, a lot worry about losing that free check from the government.
I am a little undecided on this. I think it has the potential to be very very bad! Also, if it were to be done completely peacfully, it could be good.
I know there were some 2A people at a rally at the capital that I wish were not wearing camo and combat boots (no I am not opposed to those that have served, no I am not opposed to camo and yes this is my opinion). My concern is making it easier for the media to make some people look like nut jobs.
I am not usually an advocate of breaking the law. I think things should be done to prefent stupid laws and and all of that.
I am also a fan of free speech and of not only showing your opinion, but demostrating it.
I am conflicted on it, but will keep an eye on it.

The .gov would never take credit for that situation. It would be a "home grown terrorist" or "AQ" or some other "terrorist"
I just don't think anything will come of this that advances the cause of liberty. They won't even get close to d.c. To do this. You can be sure the Feds are now watching this guy and anyone close to him. They will stop them and lock them up so fast it wont even delay traffic. Like the Feds are gonna let anyone just walk into d.c. Armed. Even if it were legal they would make up some administrative rule to stop it, much like how we can't carry on the Indiana statehouse grounds or inside, or at the state fair.
Govt will do what it wants PERIOD whether its legal or not. Who is gonna stop them?
I understand where this guy is coming from but all he is gonna end up as is someone's c** dumpster.

I will get slammed for saying this again, and I know that this is supposed to be a Open Carry march on DC, but if someone wants to carry within the confines of the FEDERAL ENCLAVE that DC is, just carry a KelTec P3AT in a pocket holster. DEEP CONCEAL and SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

With respect, I disagree.
While there are grounds for cynicism there is also a battle for the culture. Let's look at at another civil rights struggle, the struggle of African-Americans.
If any people had potential grounds to go to DC with guns, it was the African-Americans. However, MLK, came with arguments and speeches, not guns. Instead the Civil Rights Movement argued, petitioned, and changed the culture to produced the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and a tremendous swing in the culture.
Change the culture, change the world.
This is a disagreement with tactics, not strategic goals. I believe our efforts will be more productive elsewhere.

I had almost forgotten which quote i had in my sig line until i read this thread again. I think the quote kind of says it all.
