Just stopped by an Anti rally......

[MisterHappy]

I was out on an errand, and I saw this:



In Framingham Center (in this picture, they've moved from their original location, which was, ironically, ten yards from a marker commemorating the Knox Trail....), so I thought I'd stop by for a chat.

Their banner said that they wanted "sensible gun laws".....but they had no clue about what the current ones were.

Surprise.....not.

Universal background checks, biometric locks installed on all guns, no machine guns.

Surprise....not.

One little old lady had a vintage (but she got it new, I'd bet) Peace Sign necklace.

Surprise.....not.

Spent about 20 minutes, and if I say so myself, I did OK.

Of course, it was wasted, as it was not what they wanted to hear.

One of the local Ministers was there, and we chatted for a bit, after they moved (I'd hoped I chased them away, but it was planned), and he said, "You should educate them."

"There are none so blind......" I replied. I thought that apropos.


This is the constant vigilance part, I think....

ETA: Forgot to add, that my son was there, too (If we'd known that we'd be there, I'd have had him change his shirt that has an assortment of game animals and the text, "If it Flies, It Dies.... Oh well.....), and when I introduced myself as an Instructor, he introduced himself and an Instructor, too!

[cekim]

Definitely looks like 90% of the community got out there...

 

[jasons]

That's clearly at least 20,000 protestors.

 

[MAGG]

according to the media its 40,000

 

[Deezul]

I'm from Framingham. SMH

 

[kurtb]

Such a show of force

 

[MisterHappy]

Well, we were outnumbered 20:1.....because there were 40 of them and 2 of us.

So, I guess it's 95%.

 

[NickyBangBang]

wow! big turn out. They'll show us

 

[taz-2005]

They look very lonely.

 

[Harpua]

clips, assault weapons and loopholes oh my

 

[mikem317]

And I bet not one has a clue how draconian MA gun laws are.

 

[jaypap]

I can see the headlines "Millions March in Framingham". Oh the liberal math.

 

[slap shot]

Can you really call it a rally if they all came in the same Prius?

 

[MisterHappy]

And I bet not one has a clue how draconian MA gun laws are.

that term popped up several times in my palaver.

 

[Billsail]

I find it interesting that the Minister suggested you "educate them".

 

[Infinite Jester]

Such poor, lost souls. Not really, misguided, and willfully ignorant actually.

 

[taz-2005]

Such poor, lost souls. Not really, misguided, and willfully ignorant actually.

I think useful idiots is a more appropriate description.

Get those hippies off my trail!

 

[Gadsden]

The moonbats have been out in Downtown Nashua the last few weekends as well.

 

[Hoover]

They protested there? Tell them to take it to Beaver Park or Interfaith at sundown.

 

[Bendad97]

What a bunch of morons. Hope that you didn't get any on you...

 

[Boghog1]

How did you make it through that crowd? Is that what the media would call a throng of people?

 

[atilla]

i would have walked to the front of the crowd, dropped trou, and laid a yule log out right there on the asphalt and stood up to say authoratively "DISPERSE."

i'd be establishing alpha status and they'd have no choice but to obey me like the good betas they are.

 

[one-eyed Jack]

And they vote. Jack.

 

[Kid Presentable]

shoulda went home and had Russel grab his trap vest.

 

[wimsey1]

I think by calling such as were present "misguided" is way too kind. The mindset of the no-think liberal is "I have rights to my opinion and you don't, unless you agree with me." And they will go to great lengths to take away any right you have that doesn't suit their agenda. See the AP snatch and grab, IRS discrimination, JD Fast and Furious etc scandals.

Protesters for Stricter Gun Legislation Take to Framingham Streets - Framingham, MA Patch

OMG, "dozens" of people showed up... lol you mean 24 or 25?

Notice the "angled" photography. Oh, I just realized. In the last picture I counted 13 people... here-in lies the dozen.

Oh, and look at the tags at the bottom. Littered with Newton and this has absolutely nothing to do with it.

"bakers' dozen appear to protest guns."

See my OP - what he was wearing is just as good!



Since I "outed" myself there, I just posted on the Patch article....
