***Pittsburgh City Council, 1/24/19, 1800 (6PM)***

[PA_Robert]

My son lives in the city and has signed up to speak. I am going with him to show support. He isn't sure what he is going to say yet.
We are union building tradesmen and many of us are gun guys. the talk around jobs is the democratic party hasn't represented our beliefs in quite awhile. There has been a shift over the last few years to members voting republican.
This may be the straw that pushes a large portion of the members to the repub side.

I am encouraging him to speak to the above rather than reciting statistics of gun violence and the legalities of their proposal. These bastards only care about one thing, votes. If they keep pushing these laws they are about to lose a big portion of their most loyal voting base.

I work on a large union industrial construction near New Castle and I'm hearing a lot of the same from the guys on the project.

I was born and raised in New York and my father was a Union painter for 35 years. I'm an engineer and manager but I was a member of IUOE local 25 for a few years. I'm not anti or pro union. I've worked both type of sites and it is definitely location dependent.

The libtard/dimocrats definitely don't represent the typical working person. The Repubs aren't that great either but are a little better. Unfortunately, the common, working, tax paying, Constitution supporting person doesn't have many options these days.

That's why it is so important to shut down these illegal proposals against firearms. We will need them in the future to shut down the tyrants-Libtard/Dims and Rinos alike.

I'm 50 and my kids are 14 and 16. I used to think I wouldn't see the 2nd revolution in my lifetime but my kids definitely would. I'm starting to think I better make sure I stay healthy and effective because it may happen before I kick the bucket.

Edit: Even though I live in Mercer County, I will be there on the 24th.

Don't know what union you belong to but the electricians gave 10K directly to ceasefirepa a while back...

[Just1more]

We will be there also - we need to keep up the pressure against government tyranny.
I guess no flags etc as we go thru a screening before entering?
86 speakers at 3 min ea so far ? No seating except for disabled . Too long...

[Emptymag]

I wonder if the speakers will be paid supporters of the illegal action intended by the mayor?

Changing the rules mid-game?

I wouldn't be surprised to see them declare mayhem and do whatever the law permits them to do
from there, even having a closed meeting with no public attendance.
