I just got back home from Lincoln and the 2nd Amendment rally. Thank you Jeremy for bringing your flags! Andy, thank you for getting those things printed, bringing cords and Les and all thank you for helping set up the sound system. You did NFOA proud!
I was so honored to stand up there and see over 60 people celebrating our tradition and heritage and standing up from all that the 2nd Amendment represents. I know they aren't all on here, but I have to share my thanks and gratitude for the amazing speakers who came to help us spread our message. Senator Laura Ebke, Dick Clark, Chris Baker, Joe Herring, Jon Anderson, Travis Patoka, leaders of the Second Amendment Institute in Nebraska and other speakers did a fantastic job in spreading our message in support of firearms freedom, advocacy and active citizenry.
We assumed that we would have some counter protests, but NAGV was not assertive enough to publicly do so, and instead sent in some supporters to watch. We noticed half way through, that Nebraskans Against Gun Violence simply sent in some nondescript, but easily recognizable folks to watch, observe and take photos so that they could use our rally against us and our supporters.
https://www.facebook.com/NebraskansAgainstGunViolence/ Amazing how they can twist and turn things around. That's why we CANNOT sit back and let them establish the narrative. They are manipulative, inane, unreasonable sycophants to their own ignorant agenda. They threaten our rights because they spread false information like a plague.
They 'call out' our rally and our guest speaker on their Facebook page for advocating for our right to self defense as if that is a cruel, evil, and selfish undertaking, when we are standing for the rights of citizens like those Texas church goers to defend themselves from the evil that struck them. But we know, they will use every horrific story where someone could not defend themselves as a justification to remove our ability to keep that from happening to ourselves, family, friends, churches, and businesses.
