You'd be FAR more effective going to personally see your elected rep when they are in office with a few friends or holding a meeting of your local politically active group and inviting them to speak and field questions. Get them "on the record" regarding any anti 2A legislation either real or hypothetical (of course they can still lie with a straight face like Trump but at least they'll be on record)./QUOTE]

Been there, done that. We are fortunate to have friends in the GA legislature. The rally is a show of solidarity with our fellow 2a folks from different states, namely ones that aren't as fortunate in legislators as we are, ie Florida. It also has the potential to make a stand in the eyes of the federal level if these occur all over the nation with great success.

We can't leave this mess for our kids to deal with. This should have been stopped in the 30s, 80s, etc but not enough stepped up. Time to man up and deal with this.

If your expectation is that it will be a "show of solidarity", I won't disagree.

While attending a rally can be harmless, you are not going to convince one single member of the general public that the 2A needs defending by attending a rally and dressing like a dbag will have the opposite effect of the 'supposed' proclaimed purpose of the rally. If it's to put the fear of God in our elected reps, then don't announce it, go in full kit, en masse. But at that point, you might need to be ready to do more than talk.
I'll be working.

I tried. I saw Ferguson's rep when he was in Carrollton, and talked to him about Fix NICS. He still voted for the bill.
I will contact his office, and tell him what I think of him, and will vote against him in primaries and general.

Because then we would look like a crowd of innocent bystanders.

Blocks and blocks of heads will never look like innocent bystanders. En masse, we have strength. A small group of guys standing around with guns will look foolish anyway. I hope for a few thousand of regular looking people, men, women, and children, happy, smiling, glad to be together.

Angry, scary people, and tons of guns, especially ARs hanging on their backs, will be exactly what the Leftist gun banning Socialist will be hoping for. A win in our eyes, will be a bigger win in their eyes unless we start to see this from the perspective of a normal American who has never held a gun.

This should not be as much a Gun rally, but more a 2nd Adm rights rally. Even non-gun owners should want to be there for the sake of our rights and protection of our Constitution. The Liberals are attacking the law and the constitution as much the gun itself.

We have to see this from the eye of the non-gun owner, or their vote will be end of our right to have guns.

I will not be attending. I do not need an excuse and I am certainly not part of the problem. My not being at the rally is infinitely less damaging to the cause than the incidents that Soros 's agitators will instigate and main stream media will broadcast. I will continue to engage people daily, demonstrate what responsible lawful gun ownership is like. Keep the pressure on elected official and those who wish to be elected officials by contacting them letting them know how I feel and working for the election of people who are deserving.

We should all be doing every bit of that, and bless you for it.

As far as protest go. Think about what those kids have done in one month. Corporations and businesses are changing, the NRA looks evil, and the AR is made out to be something its not, simply because they march and say it over and over. They can't even define an assault rifle, yet they've made huge leaps forward in persuading the public.

People in mass have always made a difference. History has shown that Governments have fallen by the mass demonstration of their people. Only a couple decades ago, the Serbian President Milosovich was thrown out of office without a bullet shot, by the protest of his people.

I just really hope there are no ND's. That's probably the best reason not to carry something you don't carry everyday.
