Fuck the NRA for their plans for March 24th

[brettdale]

They are holding marches in all states, right next to where the March for our life's.
March will be.

They're calling theirs March for our rights.

I see some really bad disruption happening.

[applegrove]

1. ****ers! No doubt trying to scare parents of teens so they will not let their kids march.

I marched on Parliament Hill as a 16 year old. Unemployment was the cause. Was formative. It grew my worldview. Which is exactly what the NRA-GOP don't want.

[Kirk Lover]

2. Are you kidding me? This is enraging me. n/t

[dflprincess]

3. I suppose the jerks will bring their damn guns too

just to try and scare the March for Our Lives people. Methinks the NRA may have met their match in this group because, whether or not they bring their guns, they're going to come off looking like the assholes they are.

[First Speaker]

4. My uncle, who died in 1971, was an NRA member...

...so I grew up around the fringes of guns, though I've never personally so much as touched one. My uncle was a hunter, World War Two veteran, a conservative Republican, and a very decent guy. He'd vomit at what the NRA has become today. It's gone past extremism to the borderlands of outright fascism. No "right" is absolute. We need sensible gun policy in this country. All my ancestors--mostly decent New England Republicans, farmers, teachers, clergymen--they would have all agreed that something has to be done.

5. That is as sinister as it comes. This sort of jackboot thuggery cannot stand

[mshasta]

6. well..look at it ...

usually is just old white people with chairs and black glasses ready to hit the other side ,

our march is full of life, real america, children,youth,adults seniors, all humans from every race ,families, diversity,
abundance of hope for the real future of my America !

so bring it on..ready to go!

[Hekate]

13. I am surprised you forget Charlottesville. Neo-Nazis & white nationalists are armed & dangerous...

The threat is sadly real.

[FM123]

30. Yes, I agree - the threat is sadly real.

[ooky]

36. And cowboy hats.

The old white people with chairs and black glasses and cowboy hats. Part of the uniform.

[Hekate]

40. You and mshasta seem to have a very odd case of amnesia. Where have you been?

There was a peaceful protest by peaceful people in Charlottesville. Then the thugs came out in force, full of hate and shouting alt-right slogans about Jews, African Americans, and anyone else not a white male. They carried guns and tiki torches. Ultimately one of the thugs ran his car through the crowd and killed a young woman.

So where have you two been, ooky? I hate to say this, but are you in the right place tonight?

[ooky]

47. Actually I have no idea

how you got from that post that I’ve forgotten about Charlottesville. Or even mshasta’s post for that matter. Not making the connection at all, but as far as I know, you and I are on the same side.

[BigmanPigman]

7. There was a talent show on the 24th at the Mall in DC

and they were expecting 500,000 people and were trying to find another location. Do you know anymore about this and the NRA event?

I posted this a few days ago when I found out......

The big one in DC has to be moved since a talent show was already scheduled. 500,000 are expected to attend at that location alone. Here are a few links that are up. There were so many people interested that some sites crashed.

[Lint Head]

8. Where did you find this out? Can find no info on the web.

[Leghorn21]

9. Yeah, googled just now and the only relevant result was this post - ? nt

[BigmanPigman]

10. I want to know if this is the BIG one in DC or one of the hundreds

planned in the US and around the world? If it is a local event, I would do what I do when I have done in the past when Pro-Moron supporters show up at my local Anti-Moron inspires rallies like DACA, etc. When they try to disrupt our speakers with bullhorns or try to instigate fights the other resisters like me usually smile and show them the "PEACE" sign and ignore there taunts. It works! They usually are wrapped in American flags, like they own the symbol. We have our own American flags and guess what...they are/look the same! Go FIGURE!

These NRA nuts need to be reminded that we are all Americans so deal with living with each other peacefully or get out of the country all together.

[sharedvalues]

17. Yes!!! Peace sign. Peaceful and smile. They traffic in fear.

They hate people who cannot be intimidated. Don't let them intimidate us.

[Nailzberg]

44. I couldn't find anything either, other than one guy on a message board proposing the idea.

It sure doesn't sound like there are any plans.

[Freedomofspeech]

11. We cannot let them bully us...

We will be marching in Pittsburgh.

[GulfCoast66]

12. Good!

Let Americans see a bunch of nutcase young guys, sex starved fat middle age guys and a ton of guys on their Hoverounds with oxygen tanks trying to intimidate the young generation who will happily and with parental approval tell them to fuck then selves.

I never thought I would see the NRA jump the shark, but they have.

[Initech]

42. Actually they don't fit the stereotype anymore.

Who we should be worried about showing up are the same douchebags we saw in Charlottesville. The young tiki torch carrying types. They're the ones more likely to do some damage.

[babylonsister]

14. Link please? So you think NRA supporters will come

out in droves? aka dt supporters?

[Initech]

15. They should just give the middle finger to the Parkland victims and get it over with.

[sharedvalues]

16. No way, the cops will be out in force. Be peaceful and show your faces. That's what the NRA fears

The NRA fears many Americans peacefully marching and showing their faces on Mar 24th.

[Glamrock]

18. Good!

They can keep this shit up and speed up the coming assault weapon ban. "Please proceed.... "

[Elwood P Dowd]

19. Here is the dude organizing the NRA marches.....

[BigmanPigman]

22. Another rocket scientist.

[ProudLib72]

27. Are you sure it isn't Johnny McSlob?

Good chance he will get arrested for indecent exposure.

[Elwood P Dowd]

31. No, he's in Mexico guarding Jared. (nm)

[ProudLib72]

32. Couldn't Cheney have taken his place?

[ooky]

38. Or shoot himself.

[appalachiablue]

20. Serious and sudden news; where is the info. LINK for this event? Please.

[Leghorn21]

21. When I googled an hour ago, the only result for nra/March 24 was this post...now, even that is

home - I went to the nra website and see nothing about a march on the 24th -

I got nuthin, blue-

[appalachiablue]

23. Quite strange, a drop like this w/o backup. And you've searched too, thanks.

Hmm, even more since the Talent Show also just emerged and gets the prime DC Mall spot on March 24, instead of the March for Our Lives Group that'll now use an area near the Capitol on Pa. Ave. betw. 3rd-12th Sts. NW--a block from Trump Hotel!

[Fred Sanders]

26. No link means no credibility for the poster..."sowing discord" is the command for some.

[MFM008]

35. Some of us don't do links

It took me long enough to send a freaking picture.

[appalachiablue]

39. Rubbish I sensed as you said more civily and directly.

Fakery by a tosser about an important event date is unpleasant. How common it is I have no idea.

[Retrotech]

24. The 1st wasn't meant to protect this sort of shit.

These fucking sickos need to have their names made public, for the general welfare of the county.

[tritsofme]

33. The First Amendment was meant exactly to protect us from folks like you.

And thank goodness for it.

[john657]

46. Yes, the first amendment is exactly to protect people like them.

I may hate what they say and stand for, but I will defend their RIGHT to say it.

[.99center]

25. "I see some really bad disruption happening."

[flamin lib]

28. I'll be marching in Ft Worth and assume Open Carry Texas will be there.

I'll be the guy carrying the sign that says "Hey look at the Pitiful Penis Parade!"

[nocalflea]

29. Ooga booga booboo !

Or something like that.

[yuiyoshida]

34. THEY will probably be loaded down with Guns...

?w=1000

[Cha]

37. Where did you see this?

[brettdale]

41. someone posted on twitter

The ad for it on twitter, and people were retweeting it.

[Fred Sanders]

43. Another Russian/ NRA operation? Did Mueller get them all?

[salin]

45. protester turnout depression attempt (like voter turnout suppression.)

Invoking images of Charlottesville, in order to lower overall attendance is my guess.
