February 8th, anyone here gonna speak?

Featured Replies

I was curious if any members here will be taking the podium. I know a few here that I've mentioned before would do very well but I was wondering if there would be an open mike or something. I don't want just any Joe Schmoe talking for us, but there are a few here that might do us a big +1 for speaking.

 

anyone?

If you are interested in speaking, contact Frank at [email protected] he has a coordinated list of all the speakers that will be there. I don't think he has thought about an open mic but I will certainly mention it to him as well.

I'm not interested, as my big mouth will say something stupid. But I'm sure there are members here that could write something up, maybe make it 30 seconds or 1 minute long. This way more voices are heard.

 

Pizza Bob? Parker? TheWombat? Smokin .50?

My first thought was Pizza Bob but those are all good suggestions.

 

It would really help our cause, IMO, if we could have some minority speakers. (Black, Hispanic, Gay, Eskimo)

 

Instead of the stereotypical NRA member, old white guy.

There are actually a lot of minorities on this forum, believe it or not. I've met a bunch. I don't care who speaks as long as it's clear, presise, well spoken and from the heart.

I completely agree. I am just assuming there will be press there, and if there were people speaking who you wouldn't expect at a gun rally, that might help public perception.

I agree 100%, but what is a minority?

MINORITEAM, ASSEMBLE!

 

Well, I'm a minority, but I've never been one for public speaking. That's why I write instead. :ph34r:

Well, Chinese people are considered minorites and there are like 3 million of them in this area so that makes them a majority. Same thing for Indians.

 

But yeah, I wanna see lots of cultures being represented on the 8th.

I don't want to force anyone to speak who doesn't want to, but I will PM members here that I would think could give a snippet. Thanks Anthony.

I sent out some PMs to some people on here that talk smart too.

I'd by happy to say a few words....but I'm just another white guy.

 

I am going to show-up in hunter orange vest and hat, since "hunters" need to be seen supporting this gathering. Sort of like "Joe the Plumber".

 

From the looks of the list so far, it appears that we have enough "suits" at the mike. Maybe it's time for a pheasant hunter who just happens to participate in IDPA and USPSA and teaches Boy Scouts their Shotgun and Rifle Merit Badges?????????

Thanks for thinking of me Ray, but I doubt that I could add anything that won't already have been covered by the list of speakers already on board - besides, I, too, am part of that vast white, male majority of gun owners. I also "speak" better from a keyboard than I do in person. I gave-up public speaking when I retired.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

Ray thanks to you I am splitting my time at the mike with Ainsley Reynolds. A pro gun African American accountant for the state who is a GunForHire radio listener and frequent guest. He and I will talk about diversity in the shooting community.

 

Thank you Ray

 

See you Friday brother.

Make sure the lawyers keep it short. Like REALLY short.

I know there will be unofficial video snippets that will make their way online after the rally but are there any plans to record the speeches officially/professionally?

 

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure you meant that in a good way or a bad way, oops. I'm just trying to "diversify" our outreach. If you recommend him I'm sure he'll make a splash.

I thought of you because your responses to certain questions include facts and insite. I figured your internet persona carries on to real life.
