Somebody needs to start an organization called '800 Million Billion People' so the headlines can read "800 million Billion People rally against gun control at the State House this weekend"
No, but Massprudence dictates otherwise. Also, there's a blade-length restriction.
2. As Tom points out, whatever numbers we bring will just be added to the mass of people there and counted for them. We know the media will do their best to portray them in a good light, we help?
As terraformer points out, they will just add the both of you up and report the thousands of supporters of Linsky's cause...It would be great if our counter protest was bigger than the main protest.

oops, I just said that earlier today a couple of posts back.
Well, at least I am consistent right?
this process is exhausting...
You mean like when MSM filmed a black man carrying an AR, cropped out any hint of his skin and ran with the story about racists and their rifles at a political rally?It will be hard to say we were supporting Linsky if we show up with signs, flags, and alike... In fact, I think it may get us more attention from the Boston democrat. "Breaking News: Anti-Gun Rally crashed by gun nuts".
People should go there with the most ****ed up signs and blend into the crowed, when the pictures end up in the news (if they can use them) the protesters will look like the biggest idiots and not be taken seriously, just a thought

How about "I'd rather be raped than be a murderer!"Exactly my though too. We need a few of the girls here (not too many) to show up with inane signs.
"hugs can prevent crime"
"ban crime"
"submittion is better than the guilt of defence"
"crimminals only want love"
"just turn the other cheak"
"criminals have mothers too"
This is an excellent idea. I posted on Reddit.com, a generally left website, an offer to take people shooting who have never gone before. Within 24 hours I had 17 replies. That's 17 people from the Boston area who are probably left-leaning or at least on the fence about gun rights.
I'm going to teach them how to safely shoot my .22 pistols and 10/22, and at the end if I feel comfortable with their skill level, I'm going to put a WASR into their hands. I've found that when you replace the fear of the unknown with a little bit of knowledge and experience, you tend to form more logical and reasonable opinions. My ultimate goal is to flush out any hoplophobic tendencies and maybe get them to sign up for an Appleseed or CMP.
Point is, there are a LOT of people out there who are interested in firearms but don't have the chance because they have no exposure to our culture and are probably lambasted with nonsense about firearms. Welcoming these people into the gun culture might be just as important as pestering our representatives every day.
Excellent. Good for you.
Education will help overcome stupidity and ignorance. There really is no other way.

I'm sure they will get awesome, very positive coverage from the media
Imagine if we got the same amount of Pro Gun people to show up as they did the 19th?
