  • calling a state of emergency for people who are peacefully "peacefully" I repeat "peacefully" exercising their first amendment rights regarding their second amendment rights sounds to me like the government is afraid of them

  • How about we stop paying taxes! If 70 million people refused to pay taxes everything and I mean everything will change in favor of the people. If Democrats can riot with impunity then republicans should stop paying taxes until our voices are heard.

  • There is a bigger percentage of people who own guns using it as an assault, suicide and hostages. And there is a low amount of people who use it to protect their homes. I agree, they need to ban guns in America

  • maybe we as gun owners should send a message they will hear. If you as a gun owner live in a state with terrible gun laws, maybe do all of your non guns and ammo buying out of that state, but do it in an organized manner form large gun rights advocacy groups and all do the same shop out of state or on line. The way to make sure the politicians know and are impacted is to make sure all businesses in that state are informed why they are losing business so they will put pressure on the powers that are trying to stifle 2nd amendment rights. It has to be well organized and on a large statewide scale to be effective. They use backdoor sneaky ways so it is time we do the same. Large gun rights protests obviously dont work well enough, we need to hurt wallets and have pressure from many constituents who are hurting from the policy makers actions. Anyway just a thought that popped into my head so thought I would share on as many gun rights sites as i can.

    EX JW April 23, 2023 8:04 am
  • NOBODY wants to take their guns away. The new rules involve limiting sales and security of the weapons storage. If it is so easy to spin up the population of gun owners over legislation that makes sense then one might wonder how sensible these people are. More people want this legislation than don't. trump has seen and taken advantage of this situation in an effort to undermine the Democratic majority in Virginia, and in other Democratically controlled states. These repubs are insidious and very clever in there politics, nothing less is expected of them.

  • Hey reporter guy we know this protest was peaceful but did you find any white supremacists

    The Smart Dumb Guy April 23, 2023 8:04 am
  • I’ve bought several guns and I’ve always had to complete a background check, so I don’t know where this universal background check comes from.

    The Smart Dumb Guy April 23, 2023 8:04 am
  • Interesting how all these gun's in one location and no body died. It's the people… people not the gun's. Protect your rights!
