NRA Calls For Protest of Obama Visit Tomorrow

[madamesilverspurs]

Tomorrow, April 3, President Obama and Governor Hickenlooper will be promoting gun control at the Police Academy in Denver beginning at 2:30 pm. We ask all Second Amendment supporters to join the NRA in protesting this event, and to stand and fight for the Second Amendment.

Although this event is closed to the public, we are asking that you attend and protest this event in Denver and respectfully let President Obama and Governor Hickenlooper know that you are strongly opposed to their anti-gun agenda. Take a stand for the Second Amendment and let your voice be heard tomorrow.

1. I hope there is going to be a huge anti-NRA counter protest. nt

2. Why is Obama still touring with his gun control message?

Nothing will get passed the House or Senate and all he is doing is feeding into the NRA's wet dream of "he's coming for our guns" meme which allows them to raise money. Plus the sooner they stop pretending that any measures will pass the Congress, the sooner the hoarding and run on gun stores will return to normal.

3. Maybe he thinks a bit longer term.

4. fwiw, they have *always* been pimping that meme, nonstop since Jan. '09

7. Hopefully, if Dems take back the House in 2014 and keep the Senate...

We can get some gun control legislation. I think what the President is doing in the meantime is smart - trying to keep the memory of Newtown fresh in the minds of people, so we don't forget, like we often do after events such as Aurora or Tucson.

9. Dems like Harry Reid are from "gun states" and they'll never vote for control

I would stop giving the gun nuts fodder and a reason to hoard guns and ammo. Whe get control of the Congress, that's when you whip out a gun safety control bill.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. So the solution is issuing a gun, preferably an AR,

To every man, woman and child?

Perhaps the long game is at play here.

14. Holding on to the Senate means reelecting pro-gun Dems from conservative states

take a look at Senate Dems up for reelection in 2014

10. Because it is the right thing to do

Sometimes you have to "tilt with the windmills" on this issue, with 20 dead children it is the right thing to do, even if it does not pass the House and Senate today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year.... it is still the right thing to do.

11. Newtown Effect

works every time.

The NRA knows their shit!

[Life Long Dem]

5. 1... 2... 3...

Why isn't Obama out there more often for gun control?

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Maybe he's concerned about being re-elected

6. Pic: White collar terrorist

The worst kind.

[JoePhilly]

12. Dude looks demented.

[Hoyt]

13. Don't know about the Gungeoneers, but I would keep an eye on this guy --

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. I'd laugh if that guy trips and literally shoots himself in the foot.

[Comrade_McKenzie]

17. If any of them get within 1 mile of the President with a gun...

I hope they spend a few months in a prison cell.

[madamesilverspurs]

18. Well, then...

[upaloopa]

19. Gun nuts don't gain any support by standing around carrying

their guns.
Maybe people from Aurora will come with pictures of their dead and wounded family members .
