I think this is a good thing, while our rallies didnt have any political effect in NY it was good for the 2a community to build solidarity. The lwft has so many freaking rallies its time we have some too. Not sure if Ill make it there, but I hope it gets a big turn out.

I'm considering going. Round trip on Amtrak $78 for cheapest ticket. Long day getting in to NYC then to DC and back.

You *might* be able to Amtrak from Poughkeepsie but fucked if I know.

I'd like to go to this too. Unlikely given work and family commitments.

 

[Calculon]

Earliest train from Potown gets to DC at almost 1:30pm. Rally half over.

 

[BDinPutnam]

Ouch.

And that's a long ride.

(I am NOT making excuses in advance just saying that trip sucks)

 

[GOPerfect]

Yeahhhh, I will not be attending. 10,000-25,000 isn't even close enough to the number of people needed. None of this will be worth anything unless these protesters come armed to the teeth. They need to completely buck the system.

They won't. They will walk around with stupid signs, and have speakers that will say the same thing over and over.

The only way to stop the Left and their hate of guns is to elect very, very strong supporters of the US Constitution. That will not happen either because the majority of people don't even vote. They have excuse after excuse after excuse.

Change is coming, not the type of change that we here want, bad change is coming.

There will be an AW ban in the next couple of years, there will be many laws passed in regards to the sale and possession of ammo. These laws are coming; unless all gun owners get out and vote, all lovers and supporters of the Constitution need to get off their asses and vote.

I am losing my optimistic attitude, I have very little faith in the people of the US, the little I have disappears more and more each day.

 

[BDinPutnam]

When did YOU ever have an "optimistic side", @GOPerfect?

I am optimistic quite often.

I am on my to work, I am optimistic that someone will piss me off tonight, I am optimistic that I will lose my shit at least once.

I am optimistic that when I get home tonight, I will take a good and healthy poop.

 

[Shadow2]

Don't register your gun, but they want you too register to attend s police know how to plan I'm confused?

 

[Saltwater60]

I stay away from shit like this. Too much trouble, fights, antifa bull shit.

Were not Hippie kids on summer vacation We have jobs, homes, business's familys, I have no vacation time left and Im scheduled to work. I cant get off work .If it were local I could do something .If I had time off I could do something .Its something I believe in strongly and would support it if I had the chance. I feel guilty not going . I could probably give a ride to 3-4 members in my Jeep , stop by a strip club on the way back , It would be fun.

 

[cgrutt]

I just said to my wife "so you want to go to a big 2A rally on 11/2 in DC?"

She says no I'm afraid of big crowds these days its unfortunate wasn't always that way.

I said you dont have to be afraid of these guys they all have guns! She laughed, ha ha.

Just the way I think I suppose lol...

 

[BDinPutnam]

100% feel the same way, @holdover.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Cardboard AR-15's allowed ?

 

[Curmudgeon]

Cardboard AR-15's allowed ?

Allowed? That's the problem. If 50,000 armed citizens showed up, it would be a very different message being sent.

 

[Marine Cpl]

It wouldn’t work unless they were willing to fire upon those trying to stop them and those trying to stop them wouldn’t be ANTIFA.

 

[Curmudgeon]

It wouldn’t work unless they were willing to fire upon those trying to stop them and those trying to stop them wouldn’t be ANTIFA.

I doubt there would be 50,000 members of law enforcement there. And only a percentage of those there would be willing to fire on American citizens defending their liberties.

 

[Robin]

Well, if you call up all the armed personnel assigned to the government bureaucracy, including their individual SWAT teams, from the Department of Education, and Agriculture, to the FBI and Marshall's Service, you could probably have 50,000 heat packer's there in, oh, ten minutes or so.

You don’t need 50. All you need is a few and the crowd will fold like cheap suits because they are not willing to fire upon those who are coming to arrest them. They still see themselves as law abiding and will only think about their family at home. Most would come unarmed anyway since firearms are illegal in DC.

 

[Robin]

It's not that they don't ardently believe in the cause, preserving the constitution, but they instinctively would believe the the cops are our constitutional allies and not fire on them, with good reason, I understand completely, at one time, virtually all of them were.

Instead of going to this I think I’ll total all the costs it would take to get there, gas, hotel, food, parking... and instead invest on more training, ammo, and better gear

 

[MothMan]

As of right now Butterfly and I will be going to the rally. We will incorporate other touristy things to do to round out the weekend.

 

[MothMan]

Room reserved at the Crystal City Embassy Suites for Fri., Sat., Sun. nights. Gotta good deal, for DC area, of $130/night plus parking.
Going to stop in Scranton on the way down and pick up a Pa. LTC. Two birds one stone kind of thing.
Here’s where I might say “maybe we will see some of you there” but from reading this thread I doubt it. Remember stand up for your 2A rights!!

 

[Gonzobird]

I have enough Amtrak points to go in a sleeper car round trip. I just might go as well.

 

[Kirk_STNY]

It's not a bad drive by to DC, about 5 hours. I've driven down on Friday evening for a Saturday rally before. Then drove home after the rally.

Hell No You Won't Take My AR-15 Shirt

 

[MothMan]

Packing my ditty bag for the road trip as we speak.

 

[Justincase]

Was going to make it a family thing. Had a room all set for $89 a night that included transportation to and from the rally. Was gonna visit some of the museums but no... We have a friggin birthday party to go to. F me.

 

[MothMan]

Inserted in hotel waiting on complementary happy hour to start. Drive down was uneventful until DC beltway I495 what a cluster. Stopped in Scranton, PA at County Sheriff office and picked up a PA LTC. It took 25 minutes with people in line ahead of me. World Series parade tomorrow down Constitution Ave same time as rally.

 

[Shadow2]

Shit! That was this weekend? lost track
