Conservative Groups Plan Chick-fil-A Style 'Gun Appreciation Day' for Jan. 19 | Gun Appreciation Day | January 19, 2013

 

[HICKMAN]

Limbaugh mentioned it on his show today as well.

 

[HICKMAN]

a national movement is going on an NOBODY on INGO is talking about it?

 

[Hammerhead]

I thought every day on INGO was Firearms Appreciation Day.

 

[OneBadV8]

looks like their site is down

 

[Que]

It's not down.

 

[OneBadV8]

It's not down.

looks like they fixed it

 

[grogie]

Kind of funny to go support gun stores. What, they're hurting for business?

But I'll of course do my part.

 

[Doug]

How about we all gather downtown to demonstrate our appreciation?
Where would be a good place?
Would noon be a good time?
would we need any permits?

 

[scottka]

Heck... they want it Chick-fil-a style??? Let's go to Chick-fil-a!

What are the National gun organizations saying about this? While I certainly appreciate good intentions, I kinda need the NRA to put out the "Now is the time. This what we are doing," alert.

I wonder how much press we can get going to gun shops and ranges like we do anyway? Then again, I certainly understand why encouraging folks to strap on their guns for show and tell at the statehouse could make for a huge PR nightmare with media dying for bad press or even creating it.

I'm not seeing or hearing about this on the news which makes me question whether this organization is sending press releases. Why wouldn't they do it ON inauguration day? That would be the big "news" and this would be everything else.

 

[Spikedog]

I'll. Be at the 1500 with my son.

 

[bwframe]

I'll. Be at the 1500 with my son.

I'm sure I'll do something gun related too. How will they track and report numbers showing up for "Gun Appreciation Day"?

January 19th- March on State Capitols

www.guncontrolmorecrime.com is a website organizing a massive, transnational march on state capitals on January 19th at High Noon for the purpose of protesting the National Assault Weapons Ban Legislation of 2013.

Nutnfancy, a popular YouTube personality has plugged this in a video this evening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUAfft7l4wQ

I for one will be there Noon on the steps of the Capital Building in Indianapolis armed with Picket Signs and Political Rhetoric at the ready.

Am I going to see any other INGO members there? Please respond and we can plan to get this going and make sure Indiana has a hand in the fight to resist these oppressive new gun laws that hang in Congress as I write this tonight.

Coming just Hours after US VP Joe Biden let loose that he and President Obama are more than happy to extend Executive Order and Power to push gun control legislation on peaceful American gun owners regardless of Congressional debate, I think that being as visible as possible on this issue may be the only shot we've got yet of getting through this period unscathed.

Who's with me?

***Wow, totally misspelled Capital in the title. My appologies.

 

[whipfinish]

Count on me. I will have four others joining me.

 

[LordTio3]

That'll make 8 of us so far. I'm bringing at least 2.

When Im staring down my golden years without any rights, I'm sure not going to say I didn't do all I can to fight the good fight. I honestly think that under threat of executive order, this may be the last stand for gun-owners and freedom lovers in an open society that is rapidly closing. Explaining to my kids how things got this way is going to be a very hard conversation.

[rockhopper46038]

I'm going to try to be there. For what it's worth, you spelled "Capitol" right the first time.

 

[RabbleRouser]

If I can get off work and find a ride I'll be there

 

[cqcn88]

It just so happens I'll be up in Indy that weekend and Saturday is pretty unbooked. I'll see if I can recruit a few friends.
