TTAG video of Gun Owners of America Rachel Malone and Stephen Willeford at Texas Capitol Building
Gun Watch ^ | 24 August, 2019 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 08/25/2019 3:23:04 AM PDT by marktwain


The Truth about guns did an excellent job covering the Gun Owners of America rally in Austin, Texas.

Rachel Malone is Gun Owners of America's representative in Texas. I have met Rachel. She is smart, dedicated, talented, and easy on the eyes. She is also extremely effective.

The rally is nicely done with Stephen Willeford, the hero who stopped the mass killing at the Sutherland Springs church in November of 2017. Stephen is articulate and knowledgeable. He does an excellent job. It is worth watching him debate a heckler who is passionate, but poorly informed. The debate starts about 18:50. 

As The Truth About Guns notes, the rally attendee to Rachel's left seriously needs to get a holster.

The debate about citizen ownership of guns is mostly one-sided, if there is an actual debate. Second Amendment supporters win on facts, with the culture, and with the Constitution.

But, there has to be a debate for Second Amendment supporters to win.

Without the debate, emotion and Leftist propaganda win.

Good work by The Truth About Guns, Gun Owners of America, Rachel Malone, and Stephen Williford.

Williford is the man who stopped the mass murder at the church in Sutherland Springs.

The Virginia legislature and the leftist, racist governor of Virginia tried to enact gun laws recently but it was scuttled quickly. The left will continue to try and take away your rights. Please join GOA or the NRA and help support the orgs that fight to keep your rights intact.

I’m a long time member of the NRA...just joined the GOA. Not sure why it took me so long, although the NRA is on everyone’s radar...GOA not so much.

Here is where the debate is at this point: “How many children have to die before you give up your guns!” “All of them.” Pretty much the end of the debate, if you ask me.

.....lived in Virginia for almost 50 years; now live in The Lone Star State... learned how to shoot in VA; bought my first guns in VA; just sickens me to see how much my beloved Commonwealth has changed in the nearly half-century that I lived there. Yes, your Gov., LtGov and Atty Gen are total lefists... but our top three here in Texas are rock-solid conservatives; none of the crap that was proposed in Virginia would stand a chance of even being considered down here.... as we say, MOLON LABE......!!

I guess you’re just going let the gun safety violation pass that is clear in the photo with the article? It’s been featured and discussed on numerous gun forums in recent days so I don’t get the silence now.

Way back during “bill’s crime” AKA crime bill I helped organize a Rally at The Texas State Capital grounds.

The ennamedia from all 3 local TV snewz interviewed several of Us and pulled the usual “chop it up, cut and splice” crap and ran it on the 6 & 10 snewzcast.

We had many Speakers, open carry (unloaded) Firearms. We had a great and peaceful crowd.

We even had the fedz up in the window on the 2nd or 3rd floor of the Capital taking pics. We had one of Our Photographers start taking pics of them in the window with a bigger camera lens than they had and they left.

Yes.

Terrible gun handling.

Detracted from the entire message of the event.

As I recall, he told Governor Abbot that red flag laws, as written, are a violation of due process.

The point of the rally was to let Abbot know his "commission" is biased, and Second Amendment supporters will not be silenced.

Other than the fact that she is pointing it at the crowd, is there something wrong with a revolver?

The only gun website more worthless in general than TTAG is ASJ, but even a blind monkey finds the occasional banana. And Dean Weingarten always does quality stuff, regardless who he’s writing for.

The best reply to the “How many children must die before you give up your guns?” question is:

How many children must die before you pick up a gun to defend them?

we defend hospitals with armed security, we defend money isn banks, we defend people at the airport. But as for schools. We just don’t love our children as much as we love cash and mall shopping.,
