You read the headline right, 20,000 frustrated, furious, fed-up and energized gun owners in each state needed to coordinate with one another and plan something significant — something to make headlines and leave an impression. Last year, Virginia activists got about 22,000 of their friends and neighbors to descend on Richmond. Considering there are three or four times as many gun owners in each state, by working together — setting aside personal differences and egos — you really should be able to get this done. |

Oh, you sweet summer child. You underestimate the willingness of Associated Press members to tell obvious lies:
Why 20,000? Because it’s a number the media cannot possibly ignore or deliberately underestimate, and because it has already been proven possible. No reporter will be able to look at a crowd and estimate the size to be in the “hundreds.” |

My above comment should not be taken as disparagement of the idea. I was a big supporter of the Richmond Lobby Day activities on 1-20-20.
Just don't be complacent and expect the media to never lie about you, just because the lie would be obvious to anybody who cares to pay attention. Furthermore, do expect to be ignored as long as you remain peaceful (while a couple dozen rioters get taken seriously and catered to because they're dangerous), and do expect to be called terrorists when you stop being peaceful. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
