Sunday March 23rd

1 PM

The Unitarian Church in Summit, 4 Waldron Ave (at Springfield Ave.) in Summit NJ.

 

The Rev. Shannon Daley-Harris, senior religious advisor to the Children’s Defense Fund, will be the first speaker in a free lecture series on gun violence and firearms safety

 

Daley-Harris, a children's advocate and ordained Presbyterian minister, will speak on the topic “Protect Our Children from Gun Violence.” The public is cordially invited to all three programs in the series, Prevent Gun Violence: Knowledge & Action. Light refreshments will be served.

 

A strong champion for children, Daley-Harris will base her talk on the Children’s Defense Fund’s comprehensive publication, “Protect Children, Not Guns,” a compilation of the most recent and reliable statistics on firearm deaths. The 70-page report also evaluates common myths about guns and outlines legislative developments since the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Wish I could go give them hell.  This would be a good event to go educate some fools at.  It is always instructive to explain the FID / P2P system here in NJ.  Too many of these jokers think you just get $200 cash and walk into a Walmart and buy a gun.  They are so clueless.

I don't think you'd get the opportunity to be heard.

But don't worry, they've invited a gun owner for the second lecture:

 

"George Faison, partner at the DeBragga gourmet butcher shop, a hunter and a member of The Unitarian Church in Summit."

 

I'm sure he'll explain the importance of standard capacity magazines, CCW and armed self-defense.

Well either that, or he'll tell the suburban moms how the 2nd amendment is there to protect sportsman and how he "protects" children by keeping his single shot hunting guns disassembled, each part locked separate safe.

Permit me to enhance that too; they're not done there.

"The Summit lecture series continues April 27, with “Understand Guns and Firearms Safety.” Speakers will be Robert Tessaro, former director of Law Enforcement Relations at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence..."

"On May 18, two speakers will address “Legislation on Firearms Safety, Then & Now, Federal & State.” They are Nicola Bocour, director of Ceasefire NJ, a project of the Coalition for Peace Action, and Diane Finn, liaison for the prevention of gun violence for the Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry of New Jersey (UULMNJ)."

 

Now that's a fair and balanced lecture series. You really need to read the link the OP provided.

Remember it is a "lecture series", not a forum for discussion.  A preach to the  choir sort of event.  They do not want an exchange of ideas or information. THEY ARE PREACHING their solutions to the "problem"

2A pros or anti's always link with a cause, anti's link with kids since Newtown, pros should be linking with crime victims, especially home invasions and the right to privacy. What business does the goverment have telling me how many rounds I can have in a mag in the privacy of my home to protect myself and my family. Also, 10 rounds are clearly not enough if you are faced with multiple perps, especially if you need to defend others besides yourself.
