Delivering one toy for each child killed in Newtown, Connecticut to the NRA, each Sunday morning.February 10 near Arlington, VA
From a father in Virginia, "I have my own personal protest ongoing at NRA HQ in Fairfax, VA. For each of the 20 younger children killed in Newtown, I deliver a toy to the NRA on Sunday morning, and post the photo here. Feel free to join in this remembrance. In memory of Madeline Hsu, age 6."

(25,949 posts)that the grounds maintenance crew has been instructed to come in on Sunday afternoon or early Monday morning to pick up all these inconvenient reminders of their culpability. Wouldn't want their beautiful minds bothered with unpleasantries, yunno.

(10,597 posts).... one of those "Pay It Forward" things... where it catches on and people start doing it all over the country wherever there is a NRA sign. Everybody needs to Facebook and Tweet it.

(2,948 posts)In those pictures it says national RIFLE association.
NOT national ASSAULT rifle association!
NOT national SEMI-AUTOMATIC rifle association!
If they were only promoting a rifle association, I would have no problem with that,
but how about a little truth in advertising N-FUCKING-RA?

(398 posts)It's pathetic that the local religious leaders and religious organizations in the area aren't taking the lead and protesting on Sunday too but they might lose some parishioners who think that their rights to unlimited gun ownership in our country trumps any rational laws that could reduce the killing of innocents.
