2nd Amendment Rally AZ State Capitol Jan 19th
Yesterday, as part of Gun Appreciation Day I attended the Support the 2nd Amendment Rally at the Arizona State Capitol complex.
It was a spirited if somewhat disorganized event, as whoever had put it together had not applied for a permit for audio amplification, thus the first group of speakers was unable to be heard throughout the crowd of roughly 2000 folks on hand until someone had the bright idea to ask the AZ DPS officers on hand if we could use the bullhorn. They said it was fine as long as there were no complaints so the later speakers all got a chance to be heard throughout the crowd. Quite a few AZ state legislators spoke…there’s a bill afoot in the AZ State Legislature to make any new Federal firearms restrictions null and void in Arizona. Below is a selection of the best pics and signs from the rally. We’re going to do it again in February.And yes, most of the people in the crowd, even the State Reps, were packing.
Gun Control is a package deal
Crime control, not gun control
No “raaaaacism” here!
The lovely little auburn haired lady in red with her back to the camera addressing the crowd is AZ State Rep Kelly Townsend.

Jan. 17, 2013 letter to Pres. Obama
last sentence:
“We, like you, swore a solemn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and we are prepared to trade our lives for the preservation of its traditional interpretation.
Real Clear Message
The buzz I was getting from the crowd at this event was like the early tea party rallies in 2009.
I think this is the start of something bigger.

Wow! Those Sheriffs know how to write!

Great to see. Those of us here in Tucson, home of the infamous Steve K former RINO who has now joined his real party, need to see what happens in more sane places of AZ.
Nope. Sorry, but they don’t have a hip, modern national organization that appeals to 20-somethings, single women and immigrants, preferably on Facebook and Twitter. They keep quoting old fashioned stuff by long dead white guys nobody cares about anyway. No chance of them winning… Next thing you know, they be spouting off about limited government and low taxes or some other dumb stuff like that. How 20th century…
@ Mike C.:
And how do they think they can win using rifles and pistols, when the government has fighter jets and nukes?
//
the men who fly the fighter jets and the ones who put the ok codes into the nukes are our kids and they are not traitors like Kerry, Obama, Reid etal.
more likely is that the fighter jets would bomb the f’ out of D.C..

Well for God’s sake, tell them to be careful to miss the Smithsonian buildings -- there’s some neat shit in there. Okay, they can hit the Hirschorn Gallery if they have to -- mostly a bunch of “modern” crap in there anyway.

You know what?
I have never been polled.
Am I on the too crazy to mess with list or something?
Let’s take a poll to see how many people have made crap up just to make it look like they are right.

@ unclassifiable:
I have never been polled either. How big is their pool of people they poll? A hundred? A thousand? Still not a big enough number to actually show how Americans really think.
@ lobo91:
No slam on you lobo91 but I’ve seen more polling than a friggin’ pole vaulting convention lately.
@ doriangrey:
Now see here! Joe Biden is not fat!

I’m going to guess that it is anyone who will answer a call from any number even if they have a caller ID.
If someone annoys me enough I have a special contact on my cell phone that goes straight to my voice mail.
Funny, no one ever leaves a message.
@ unclassifiable:
Those numbers are pretty consistent. Most people don’t think we need any new laws.
Federal gun prosecutions are down something like 70% under Obama. Biden said the other day that they “don’t have time” to enforce those laws.
So why make news ones that they won’t have time to enforce?
AZfederalist wrote:
Oh yea…. Then just what do you call all that shit between his ears?
@ lobo91:
Did they even give the option for those of us who think that there are already too many gun laws? When gun control enforcement leads to debacles like Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Fast and Furious, I don’t know how much more enforcement we can stand.
lobo91 wrote:
Oh, they’ll enforce them against the right people. David Gregory won’t get prosecuted for breaking DC’s “Assault Weapons” ban, but I can assure you that if you or I broke the law in that way we’d be prosecuted.

Film studies seems to be a vast sucking hole of leftists. I took a film studies class as an elective in my final semester at UNM. It was a long class that only met once a week, with a break in the middle. The first day, when the break came, I left and didn’t return.

You are right nobody ever accused Biden of having great energy.

One of the big things I’ve always liked about Wayne LaPierre is that he is not afraid of fighting. In fact, I think he really loves a good fight.

@ lobo91:
Does that mean that now that the election is over that Obama is actually going to do anything for “Latinos” (a stupid name if there ever was one)?
That was a rhetorical question, of course.
More Biden news:
I can see his slogan now: “You survived the last 8 years…how bad could it be?”
@ Mike C.:
For “Latinos,” read “illegal aliens.”
@ lobo91:
Rooooooooodan!
Daddy Biden is ringing the free stuff bell! Come and get it!
Kidding man.
@ unclassifiable:
If I were a “Latino,” I’d be insulted by their pandering, but that’s just me.
Not sure where they have any different interests than any other Americans, unless they’re here illegally.
