I respect your point...heaven knows how I rail at the NRA at times. But the discourse should be level-headed and rational and while I’ve heard Nugent speak, and he can be those things, I think Nugent depicts the red-neck stereotype that I would rather avoid. Just my opinion.
Would it keep me from attending? No. ;)
Perhaps both events could be held simultaneously ...one nation-wide and one local, for those who can’t go to DC.
If you need to start “tweaking,” stay home.
We already have the red-neck stereo-type, the Fudd stereo-type, and the Country Club old boys club stereotypes going on.
Getting someone loud, proud, and straight speaking out front will be a boon, not a bane.
Ah. “Sizzle” v “steak” .........the age-old question. Fall into the hands of the media antis and make their job easier. Yep. That’s the ticket.
“Armed security will have 30 more rounds in a detachable magazine after the one round in the barrel.’
Magazine schmagazin, they don’t have “a gun behind every blade of grass”.
What about marching on MSM complexes, so there's no doubt we know who our enemy is?
If you start letting your enemies dictate how you will protest, you’ve already lost.
You need to support the “nuts,” not disavow them, because if you don’t you can bet our enemies will change the definition of “nut” to anyone who is effective.
Look to the pro-life movement for lessons in what NOT to do.

Leave it to you to be the first on this thread to "get it!"
How about local TV stations that are network affiliates?
Muzzle Ted?
WTH are you thinking?
Muzzling OURSELVES is what partially has gotten us in the deep crap-pile we’re in today.
Don’t even THINK of telling ME to “shut up and sit back”.
My father (RIP)held an FFL and did much gunsmithing, I've been shooting as long as I can remember, I just cannot imagine life without the shooting sports.
True. More coverage all around.
Tell me, how much media training do you have?
These issues CAN be addressed, but only by those who actually know how to do so.
Listening to every "chicken little" that thinks he has something to say will do nothing but dilute the informed opinions out there.
Washington DC AND State Capitols. Yes, Both.
I’m in, too. It would be fun, and who knows, maybe they’ll get the message.
And it sounds like a smokin’ opportunity for a cross-country motorcycle rally, to boot!
They'd have heavy weapons, or at least such as Ma Deuce, MK-19, as well as lighter weapons to protect them, at the bridges and on the highways leading into the city. They might do that the first time.
And a million is not enough. O had two million enraptured followers for his coronation on a freezing cold day.
Ask the Bonus Marchers. They suffered tear gas and a cavalry assault, horse cavalry. The troops were lead by General MacArthur, his aid Dwight Eisenhower and Major George Patton. The Bonus Marchers were not armed, and there were 20,000 or so of them. Now there is that directed energy weapon (millimeter wave) that makes you feel like you are on fire. It was designed just for such situations, albeit in Southwest Asia, not the Capital of the United States. But it would be used there, if the marchers are lucky, if not they'll use more lethal equipment.
Emerson once asked Thoreau, who was jailed for his beliefs, "Why are you in here?". Thoreau replied, "Why are you out there?".
