Will be able to get an informative flyer that we can post a picture of on all our social media? ETA: I mean I want to post it now....but I realize I got nothing to post. Only assuming we are doing this at NRA HQ? |

I picked the 9th. That is more likely to be a 3 day weekend than the others for some folks.

Goatboy, I ask this honestly. How or what can this site and its members specifically do to oust the cancer that runs the NRA in its current state? Wouldn't WLP willing have to step down? How do we convince him to do that and what would motivate him to do so?

@goatboy As a NRA Life Member I fully support your position on this matter however, like many who agree with you, I unfortunately won't be attending this rally. With this in mind, may I suggest that in addition to your march that we devise a letter campaign that would truly reflect (larger number than people at the rally) the memberships dismay with the current course of the NRA. Maybe a template, receipt signature required letter that's addressed to all NRA leadership positions. The letter might contain templated language that identifies membership concerns and a pledge to cut off donations until there is a qualitative course correction within the NRA. Just something to think about. -------------------------- To: NRA Person's Name Here Subject: NO MONEY PLEDGE Template Language that points out the issues of contention and what needs to be done to correct these. Based on the aforementioned, I PLEDGE to discontinue any and all donates to the NRA until such time OUR organization makes a documented effort to address the previously mentioned concerns. I look forward to your timely response, Person's Name Here NRA Member Status Here |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Then you need to be at the convention, that is the only place you will have 70,000+ members to hear our grievances with the the Board and WLP. Members going to the convention are half way serious members those most likely to vote to drain the NRA 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. |

@Goatboy
If this does work out and people decide to drive, how about setting places to stop on the way. People want to support, how about letting me sleep in your barn. I'll bring a sleeping bag, will need a place to get some sleep for a few hours before getting back on the road. Set up people that want to caravan, don't really feel like driving 3000 miles and paying for gas while driving alone. If driving, let's find people that have vehicles that get 30+ MPG to save on the cost of fuel back and forth. |

Irrelevant of the date I’m in, I’m 20 and I think seeing if we can get youth out to March would be a good photo op and should go along way for countering “March for our lives”. Call it “March for our rights”.
I live in RI so I can take the train, therefore I have no problem donating two-three hundred dollars to a fund which would help people get there who aren’t so close. We need as many people as possible, Black, Gay, Muslim, this just doesn’t need to be a message only to the NRA, this at the same time could be a message to the nation. That the gun lobby isn’t for manufacturers, it’s for the people. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I realize this and it was hard to try to find a date. Hunting season is critical to a lot of families, but if we push this off, then we are looking at April/May of next year and it wont be what we need. It has to be now we take a stand against all the wrongs. Not everyone is going to be able to make it and that's fine. We do need a big showing so that the rest of the community sees that we are united behind saving the NRA and keeping our voices heard. It's 1 Saturday that could mean our rights for years to come. It's worth doing whatever it takes.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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!) I vote for somewhere in the middle of the Country, to make it more centrally located to all the States. A gun-friendly city and State would be ideal, even though I realize you won't want this to be an armed rally. Edit: To further clarify, I hate spending any money in that part of the Country. No sense supporting the enemy. Let's spend our money in a gun-friendly environment. If the crowd is big enough, we'll get the same media coverage as we would if it were in DC. DC sucks, I've been to two rally's there and both times it was a pain in the ass. Hotels, parking, unfriendly gun laws, etc., why do we want to willingly submit ourselves to that. The middle of the Country will be warmer in November as well. Lots and lots of reasons to hold it closer to the middle of the Country than in DC. |

First of the month is very hard to make, billing has to be done by the 5th and I normally don’t have all the tickets sorted until the 2nd. The other weekends are more doable and I’ll try my damndest to make it.
Are you going to get block booking at a hotel? I have no idea of the geography of DC, but hotels.com prices are’t as high as I thought they would be. I doubt we could get the numbers but 1 in every state capital would be glorious. Or even 5 or 6 across the nation, if numbers are good enough, would send a strong message. |

You're only going to get one shot at this, the convention idea makes more sense, roughly center of the country, other members who may or may not know about the NRA fleecing them will be there. Nashville will offer more places to stay as well. If you're gonna do some world shaking do it where you have a guaranteed, and captive audience. Besides, wasn't there a big shake-up at the Cleveland convention years back?

I'm only very very roughly brainstorming but is it safe to leave a car at a Metro station during the day? Obviously it will depend on which one I'm just wondering if it's one of those things you shouldn't do under any circumstances.

The only thing I can say to you is to have a little trust and faith in this and me. There are many things in motion right now, but the MEMBERSHIP is the most important part. The NRA has to learn that we can and will mobilize when we needed and that our voices are what make the NRA viable. There's a reason it's a Grassroots effort. |

Let Trump see it, let Congress see it, let the NRA see it. Let them all see a mass of non violent people standing up to tyranny. Let us bring the torches but not the guns. Let them see nationally we will not go quietly into the night. But let them also see we are reasonable non violent people. It's a fantastic idea |

This is about supporting the NRA as a reborn entity with proper structure and leadership. There are plenty of good folks who will hear our voices and see us coming together and more of a reason to do right. I think when those things are in place, then we wont need to worry as much about legislation issues as they will truly represent us. (That doesn't mean we should expect them to do it all for us or be able to handle everything out there. It does mean the important fights will matter.) Why DC? |
