RALLY START TIME IS NOW 12:30PM !!!! PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY !!!
Website: http://www.2ndamendmentrally.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/2Arightsrally/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/2arally/ No speaker announcements just yet, but they are coming! The goal of this rally is not to focus on the NRA, or any other firearm organization, but to showcase that WE, the supporters of the 2nd Amendment, are the power behind all groups. We are the ones who vote. We are the ones who empower others to represent the larger community of gun owners. We are the backbone of this nation and willing to protect our RIGHTS. "The Second Amendment protects the Right of The People to keep and bear arms. That is US. That is YOU. American Gun Owners are the Gun Lobby. Join together on November 2nd in Washington, DC to Rally for your 2A Rights!" Our forefathers believed that a nation must be representative of it's people. They worked hard to ensure balance in all systems of government and in our Constitution. There is a reason we have a 1st Amendment. If the government were to silence the voices of Americans, then we would be forced to live without expression, without the ability to speak against the government, without the ability to expose wrong. There is also a reason why the 2nd Amendment exists to protect our rights to arm ourselves. It's about protecting the 1st Amendment against the corruption of the government, which so many countries have had to endure. If the 2nd did not exist, neither would the 1st. Our forefathers owned muskets and cannons, weapons of war, so that if they were called upon to defend this nation against any enemy, foreign or domestic, they could do so. Society has corrupted this simple plan by using fear to swarm masses of ignorant people to their cause. They create terms like "assault weapons" to add to the fear, and they call normal firearms "weapons of war." I doubt many of them have seen a battlefield or have ever had to protect their families in their homes. If they had, they would know that the right to defend yourself and your family are GOD given rights. It would be great if we lived in a society where we didn't have doors on our homes, but we do. And most of us lock those doors when we leave our homes, or at night. The reason for that is because doors protect us from the unknown and from morally corrupt people who would do us harm. Criminals do not follow the laws of the land. To expect they would not possess firearms is an ignorant thought. Even if we were able to disarm the entire world, we would simply switch to knives and swords and death would continue. So we put up doors on every home and we lock our doors to keep evil out. NOW we need to ensure our right to arm ourselves is not taken away! It's not about one organization fighting so we do not have to, it's about ALL of us fighting to show that WE ARE THE POWER behind all these organizations and that we will not go quietly and watch others take away our RIGHTS!!!! This is our time. 2020 is an election year. Politicians are looking out at the groups of voters who matter. We have to show up and stop being lazy about letting an organization represent us. We have to show up and represent ourselves. If you make an excuse to not attend, to not fight for your rights, then you deserve to be disarmed. We have been too complacent for too long and allowed others to dictate what rights are worth trading away and what rights are worth fighting for. It was not long ago that these organizations considered us a fringe group and would not defend us. Well if black rifles go, then so will certain handguns, then long rifles, then shotguns, then all guns. We can not sit idle any longer. This is a time to SHOW UP and FIGHT for what we all believe in. This is the plan to show that WE ARE THE POWER behind all firearm organizations. None of them matter compared to the collective power of gun owners! It's time to stand up together or be destroyed apart. You have the opportunity to be part of this rally. Part of this movement. Part of the defense of our rights which our forefathers FOUGHT AND DIED FOR!!! We owe this to our children and our children's children. If you do not act now, you may never have a chance to act again. This is not a rally for any one organization, it's a rally for US. Sign up and show up!

This would be at NRA HQ? I’m all for it, but what do we want besides change? LaPierre gone, but who to take his place? How do we prevent this from occurring again? Executive power to the elected President so that he could fire the executive vice President ? That would allow an effective leader to stay in place , but with the membership controlling his fate. Demand a reduction in The Board of Directors? Required attendance to keep your seat? Outside Audits? What are we demanding? |

Quoted:
As efforts ramp up to SAVE THE NRA and get power back to the membership, we are planning a national gathering to show our unity for this effort to the Board, the Executive Committee, and the Leadership. There are already a number of folks at all those levels who see that the MEMBERSHIP is upset, angry, and pushing for changes. This is our time to shine. Each and every one of us, NRA Member or not, who loves the 2nd Amendment, to stand up against those willing to do us wrong. The NRA Leadership has been misusing funds for their own purposes. Funds which were meant to help protect our freedoms for generations to come. Funds which we all worked hard for and donated out of our love for freedom. Funds which were meant for one purpose and taken away. This gathering must be a big wake up call to them to see that we will fight them as a membership and as patriots! The NRA in it's current form will never REPRESENT us properly. This is the time to make it right. We need to save it from the ashes and bring it back as an organization that represents all gun owners and all those who understand why the 2nd Amendment is as important as the 1st Amendment. A strong NRA is critical to the upcoming election as our voices need to be heard as a single, powerful, call to arms. We must back the right politicians who understand the Constitution and their duty to defend it. If we wait too long to fix things, we will go into next year with an unloaded weapon and without the our strength. This is the time to act! The 2nd Amendment is critical to this country's survival. If we allow ourselves to be disarmed, we will go down as the biggest failure of a people in history. Willingly giving up power to the ruling class, who is so careless with leadership, money, and power. Those who would take everything from us to keep themselves at the top. You don't see these folks who strip us of our rights giving up anything they have to prove their point do you? NO!!!! Those in power want more power and with an unarmed state, they can rule without fear or consequence! It is now OUR TIME. As a community, we must band together and show ourselves as a force for change. We need to set a date, agree to gather together for this cause, and call FOR CHANGES to the NRA!!!! . . . Due to expected weather, time needed for word to spread, and to make this viable, we have narrowed it down to these potential dates: 1) Saturday November 3rd 2) Saturday November 10th 3) Saturday November 17th November 10th may be the best choice and is also the 65th anniversary (1954) of the Marine Corps War Memorial. (The Iwo Jima statue is unveiled at the USMC War Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery. The cast bronze memorial is based on the iconic photo of the raising of the Flag on Iwo Jima by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal and President Dwight D. Eisenhower performed the dedication ceremony.) This effort is for all of us, so please share your thoughts, other ideas for dates, or ask questions. I will do everything I can to answer. |

I will do everything I can to answer. You will have some museum/gift shop employees, and indoor range employees plus people going to the museum or range. These people will not be influenced by a bunch of pissed off members. YOU NEED TO BE THERE ON MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY!!! That why the higher up NRA employees will see us. Now a better plan would be to have a protest at the NRA convention, where a lot of voting members, board members, employees, and even vendors will see us and how pissed we are! |

I don't hate this idea. I was a member but let it lapse after the bumpstock shitshow. I like the NRA in that the left hates them, but dislike them in that they're a bunch of fudds who like to screw over their own members. I'd be interested in helping reverse that. |

November is not a good month. Right in the middle of prime time deer season isn’t an ideal time to gather gun owners on a weekend.
Yes, I get it, our rights are way more important than that, but that doesn’t mean it won’t affect attendance. |

This wont be held at the NRA headquarters, nor for their benefit. This is aimed at a larger goal we all need, to get the NRA back in the hands of the people. Location won't matter, the statement we make to the country is what matters. This is part of a larger fight and it's one of the MOST important pieces. This is the voice of the people shouting at once to remove the corruption in leadership. (Keep in mind this is not about 1 man in power who has to go, it's about draining our own swamp!)

It is about the members taking the NRA back from the swamp the the swamp dwellers. It is also the vendors at the convention at the Dallas convention over half the vendors were selling AR based firearms and accessories. There is a chance of getting a lot more support for from members and vendors at the convention than anyplace else. |

Only a few people had voted. It is probably a moot point. Thanks for the offer. |
