So...I can't resist asking...what does anyone think they're going to accomplish by doing this?

Gays seem to accomplish lots by showing up.

Same thing all the rest have, NOTHING...............

Is there a website or central source of info about the rally that I can direct people to? The facebook pages on the flyer require me to be logged in which isn't super conducive to getting people to actually visit them.

Edit: I may have been wrong about needing to be logged in, but in any event those are just their facebook pages - there's no obvious info about the rally there.

Another weekday rally? WT actual F?

Lazy-ass "pro-2A" politicians don't give enough of a crap to show up on a weekend, so they put this stuff on during the week, when almost no one can go. Give me a break.

Even though I feel the same way---our prescence being there and showing them we're [still] watching them must always be in the back of their minds. I think this time we need to do something different---like hand out a pamphlet or similar, that show actual gun facts of how safe guns are. Also, showing in history that 99% of gun deaths happen when they're banned by tyrants.

We have to start using their tactics because we know politicians and the media aren't going to help us.

Actually, they can amount to quite a lot, provided enough motivated, articulate people show up.

The last time that I was able to make it was when "Stand Your Ground" was proposed. The group of us who went knocking on doors ended up with a surprising number of reps co-sponsoring/voting for SYG. I'd call that positive, even if you don't. Just showing up and waving signs doesn't do shit. You have to be willing to knock on doors and have polite, meaningful conversations.

Ungawa would go visit the antis. I ended up tagging along with his group the first year that I went. We hardly ever ran into reps because they would be in session after the rally, but he would give whoever was left to watch their office an earful. Most would seem to feel uncomfortable by our presence while some would sort of be receptive to opinions. It seemed to be somewhat effective in my humble opinion.

Pro 2a reps offices would also be visited. If you hurry, you can catch the rep before they go into session. If we missed them we would leave a message thanking them for supporting 2a rights. Most times pleasant conversations with their staff would take place.
