To dismiss this rally as “boys” and firearms as “toys”, shame on you. It’s much bigger than that and far more important, understand that the rally is as much about curbing government overreach as it is about firearms.

===and far more important===
Lighten up, Francis.

I’m 50 years old, white, and own multiple firearms. I just don’t feel the “government overreach” specter that some do.
Maybe it’s me.

In the nineties I was told that Bill Clinton would take away my 2nd amendment rights.
In the late aughts I was told that Barack Obama would take away my 2nd amendment rights.
Some of the people, all of the time.

The annual citizen march for snake rights
Comment by Nobody Sent Wednesday, Mar 27, 19 @ 2:58 pm
IPI take note on how to get more than 18 people out for a rally.
When is the march to support 3rd Amendment rights? (It helps provide some context for the applicability of 2nd Amendment rights in this day and age)
