Re: ***NATIONAL RALLY 11/2/19 POOFA RESPONSE***
Never thought I'd see Hickok45 defend gamers, followed by someone screaming the GAMERS RISE UP meme. That alone made the 5-hour drive worth it.
Also, did anyone see the procession of German soldiers with Red Berets who walked by us? I think a few took some pics of us. I wish we could open carry to show off to them, hehe.
One thing irked me. I have the utmost respect for Prince's work, and I know he is a virtual saint in this circle, but I was disheartened by his SSRI demonization. The black box warning (issued in 2004) is no big pharma secret. Everybody from the chief attending to the green-boots medical student knows about it and considers it in pediatric psychiatric cases. I see patients using SSRIs everyday: the commonality of SSRIs is just a step below ACE inhibitors and statins, if I had to estimate. They work for some, not all, but they are not some big evil drug solely for the benefit of big pharma. They're first line in many cases and have been used for several decades. We are not flying blind. The gun community constantly mentions "the mental health issue", as being the "answer", and while I agree (with some expansions on that line of thinking), I really don't think a good starting point is demonizing one of the most basic, first-line class of meds employed in mental health. DON'T GET ME WRONG THOUGH, I am NOT defending big pharma. They jack up the price of meds quite often, seemingly at random, that patients sometimes just stop meds because they couldn't afford the sudden price hike. Big pharma is an issue, no doubt.
I'm honestly not too upset with Prince's comment, as it seems a habit in the gun community to sometimes grab a peripheral issue/scapegoat to deflect/offset the left's rabid emotional shaming. If I remember, last time it was video games (which is why Hickok actually defending gamers honestly shocked me). I feel like this skirts around the elephant in the room: young men and the issues they face, which few seem to talk about. I've written long posts on young men's issues (maybe biased and self-centered as I'm a young man?) and don't want to regurgitate them here, but I feel like that's the biggest core issue left unaddressed.
APOLOGIES for this rant. Again, SO much respect to Prince and his work. He is an absolute, unquestionable champion of our rights. A hero of our state and our cause. I just felt like I had to write my thoughts down on that comment because the topic came up so suddenly at the end of his speech. I'm probably overthinking it. Besides my small gripe, his speech, and everyone else's, was awesome. Seriously great turnout.Last edited by caelum; November 3rd, 2019 at 03:58 AM.

Would you allow that the same chemical concoction could be both a "common, widely used, first-line drug with tremendous success" *and* in certain cases a contributing factor in putting someone over the edge?
The more widely a product is used, the more likely that a side-effect that occurs in even a fractional percentage of its users can become apparent - especially when the result is characterized by a desire to act out against others in as large a group as they think then can find.Get your "Guns Save Lives" stickers today!

Has anyone seen any media coverage? I only watched NBC news Sat. evening, not one word, the Lancaster Sunday paper had nothing that I saw.

I've searched. But I'm currently working; so it's been a limited search.
Found nothing in mainstream media. Not surprising since did not see any news media attending.
So far; all I've found in Ammoland's article: https://www.ammoland.com/2019/11/2nd...washington-dc/
Searched a little more.
Found these two stories:
