*** MARCH 10, 2013 WELCOME THE NEWTOWN CYCLISTS IN FRENCHTOWN!

 

I would like to see a different kind of gathering for this event if possible. I don't think a normal counter demonstration would be effective. *HOWEVER* there certainly would NOT be anything wrong with members of the 2A/RKBA movement showing up *IN SUPPORT* of the cyclists:

 

"Specifically, the riders support common sense measures to help curb gun violence":

• Requiring all gun buyers to pass criminal background checks.

SIGN - NJ ALREADY *HAS* BACKGROUND CHECKS!!!

• Instituting a ban of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

SIGN - NJ ALREADY LIMITS MAGAZINE CAPACITY!!!

• Making gun trafficking a federal crime, including real penalties for “straw buyers”

SIGN - WE SUPPORT SEVERE PENALTIES FOR CRIMINALS!

• Strengthening gun ownership restrictions for people with severe mental illness.

SIGN - NJ ALREADY PERFORMS EXTENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH RECORDS SEARCH!

 

If we cheered on the riders but held such signs as these, we would probably educate some people who have *NO* clue that you cannot obtain a firearm in NJ without an extensive criminal background check, mental health records search, adherence to magazine capacity limits, etc. We can support the riders and show our support for the people of Newtown, while educating some people, and confusing the HELL out of others. WHAT SAY YOU??? WILL YOU ATTEND???

 

Please refer to the link below for details of the event. I only have what is contained there.
