In other news: (I misread this first line. The date this was posted in the paper is 1/16; the date of the "Gun Appreciation Day" is 1/19/2013)

I plan to attend if I can find a place to park.


Tyler 'Gun appreciation' day slated Saturday, 1/19/2013

Grassroots America – We the People will host local officials and legislators for a “gun appreciation” day event in support of Second Amendment efforts 10 a.m. Saturday at Lock and Load gun dealership.

Speakers will include Grassroots America Executive Director JoAnn Fleming, Smith County Sheriff Larry Smith, state Sen. Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler, state Rep. Matt Schaefer, R-Tyler and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz's East Texas Director Jason Wright.

Grassroots America invites like-minded Second Amendment supporters to gather at the dealership to hear from local elected officials about gun control efforts and pick up a copy of the Constitution. The group will then visit Lone Star Gun Show at Harvey Convention Center.

 

Way to give the media a great photo - op to show how "extreme " gun owners are .

 

There are many ways to voice an opinion and a radical act like that is not one of 'em. Hanging someone in effigy could get the anti-gun crowd to ban ropes also, and then they would not have anything with which to hang themselves. As it is, if they do manage to take away our guns, our best method of self protection, then they will sooner or later fall on their own sword. The clichés could go on forever, but banning our guns is no joke. History has proven this country has stayed free because WE THE PEOPLE defend one another.
