Annual Harrisburg Rally - June 8, 2020

[Berncly]

My thoughts exactly. Keep politics out of it. “show up or lose your rights” is all it needs to say. “Don’t turn into VA”, or “don’t let bloomberg buy PA”, “rally for your rights”, “patriots unite”, “black guns matter”... I could think of a million things besides socialism. I’ll go anyway, but I’m tempted to write metcalfe a note about his poor choice of words.

At least they blurred my face below our sign, that would have sucked!

I don't think that's Metcalfe's flyer.
His blurb is here: http://www.repmetcalfe.com/News/1621...ar-Arms-Rally-

I think that flyer is independently produced by the LVTP.

We have to kill them socialists! Didn't you see the smoking gun?


I was trying to be nice, but yeah, it has a lot of room for improvement.
Offense is not intended, it's just that you don't go to a home decorator when you need plumbing repairs.

I feel like the gun community needs a professional publicist, for some reason we can't seem to get away from punisher skulls, cross hairs and smoking guns on publications, business signs and T-Shirts.

It's easy fodder given to the other side that just furthers their negative view point of us.

Make my oen flyer... with blackjack and hookers.

Have we changed the morning breakfast meeting place? There was talk of Cracker Barrel corp policy on no guns and us finding another breakfast spot.

No, it is not produced by the Lehigh Valley Tea Party.

This is the official flyer from Rep Metcalfe's office. In defense of that office, I have to say that I can't believe all the bitching and complaining about a flyer. I also can't believe that people want to take politics out of it, and others want to take socialism out of it. This is totally bizarre to me. Politics and socialism are the threat! But hey, let's not mention that?

Don't like the flyer? Make your own. It doesn't matter. What matters is getting people there. Got a better way? Go for it. Got a better flyer? Go for it. How many people will you (not you personally Bern) motivate to come? Will you go to local gun clubs and get word out? Will you distribute this (or your own) flyer at gun stores?

IMO, there is so much more important stuff to be discussing and *doing* than complaining about a few words on a flyer.

Is this your 1st day on the internet?

A big part to winning this fight is about perception and the gun community of which I am apart of fails especially at this on all levels from all org's. There are all different types of gun owners out there some with views drastically different then our own and like it not we need them because there is strength in large numbers which is something we need to be able to turn out.

I don't think this flyer is partially over the top but it could be a shit load better.

Yes and no. I feel like I'm about an average person (don't we all?) so I when I look at things I expect others to feel like I do about them. I prefer a plain, to the point advertisement that I can take in in short order and move on. One that gets the message across in a couple of seconds and that is a busy flyer that one has to take time to take in. If it was 'just a flyer' it wouldn't be worth putting out.

If so, I stand corrected.
I made a point of not commenting on the discussion, just the origin of the flyer.
It may help avoid confusion to post Metcalfe's flyer link directly.

I don't think there is a Metcalfe flyer direct link. I'm not sure there ever is or was. His office prints thousands, but I don't know that there is a digital space on his page for the flyer. He depends on the rest of us (as in the whole community) to distribute it digitally. It will be on the rally website and facebook page soon enough. Other volunteers manage those, so I can't say when.

Ok, thank you.
