I guess we are going to see if we are all talk ànd no action
-
I messaged Sen Laura Ebke àbout possibly addressing the rally
-
Alright everyone, we need as many of you as possible to help make this a success!
This rally is being set up, grassroots, by people all across the United States. It's not affiliated with any national or state organization. The purpose of the rally is to show how just common citizens, who believe in the 2nd Amendment can quickly come together and share a unified message, make an impact and peaceably assemble to advocate for firearms freedom.
The rallies across America will be held November 5th from 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. at the Unicameral in Lincoln. The exact location we will meet up at will be announced.
BUT... WE NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING.
We need to know how many we can count on coming out to support the cause! In the coming weeks, we will post information about signs, speakers, and other details.
Please comment below if you can make it.

thats sunday? how is the Unicameral going to know anything about this?
-
Great question... First, we are going to be inviting our 2A supporting Senators to speak... Senator Ebke, Hilgers and Brewer... etc. Hopefully that will also generate press interest. If we can gauge that enough folks will show up, we will do a press release too.
These rallies are being planned in every state on this date. it's not about the Unicameral necessarily, or being seen by Senators. It's just a good central location. The grassroots organizers' intent is a nationwide 'show of support' camaraderie, etc. We thought why not join in. It's been a while and a lot of us are tired of the passive behind the scenes activism and thought to get out there and join in.
The last one of these types of things I attended was a gathering on the corner of 72nd and Dodge. A bunch of us with posters, waving at drivers and just "spreading the message of support for our right to carry." Totally grassroots, very simple, but a pretty cool experience.
Lincoln "rallies" are typically done by the Anti's from UNL and NAGV who just show up and make a fool of themselves. This would be a positive counter to their folly.

who cares what the unicameral knows, they are not in session, but you can bet your ass a large turn out will be news worthy

News worthy, yes. News story? 😆 We can hope!
-
Can we count on shooter and Mntnman to attend ?
-
You can plan on Mrs Triple D and I!
-
Thank you and your wife for standing with us TripleD!
-
At least me, possible the Mrs. as well.
-
Great to hear Mali! Thank you
-
Who is serving lunch?
-

Most likely not as time and money are both in high demand and short supply. Perhaps if it snows I would be able to make it.
-
Who is serving lunch?
Why does everything we do have to involve eating? LOL...
I get it, long afternoon... don't know how feasible that is given the location. Do you have any ideas? Food truck that supports 2A invited?
-
I'll plan on being there

Thank you for joining us HuskerXDM! We appreciate your support!

Join your fellow firearms owners as they join together at each state capitol across the United States on November 5th! Be a part of the this grassroots event and demonstrate you are committed to exercising your rights, traditions and freedoms. In the same way we exercise our 2nd Amendment right, we exercise our 1st Amendment Right: legally, safely, and responsibly. We will be gathering at the West Steps of the Capitol beginning at 12 p.m. and planning to stay through 2 p.m.
We've secured our Permit, PA System, and have invited several speakers! Stay tuned for more updates!
Looking to find a 2A supporting food truck... any recommendations?

If you want me to stand around from 10-4, somebody's gotta feed this belly.
(p.s. there is a new Tastee Trailer in town- (non Lincoln folks wouldn't understand)
-
For sure! Troop morale wins the war! Any chance the Tasty Trailer is an option? Since I'm not a Lincolnite...
-
If it is Tastee Inn food they were very good...loved the onion chips
-
I am planning on attending!
-
UPDATE...due to parking, restroom requirements, etc.. we've changed the time. Meet up at 12 NOON. We'll be setting up before then. Still staying till 2 p.m.
There are 2 churches near the Capitol, so parking will be more difficult in the morning. And the Capitol building is not open until 1 p.m. and no restroom access for that long is a constraint we want to avoid.

Nothing happens when I click on Modify so can't add to my last post.
I have State Senator Matt Hansen liked on Facebook so I can keep track of him. Should I send him an invite to the rally? He's up for reelection. It there's a good turn out maybe he'd stop opposing LB68. On the other hand if there's a poor turn out...
-
You could try having a conversation with Sen Hansen and see how it goes. Personally I think he is adamantly opposed to freedom and everything associated with it. I think he'd rather find ways to screw you than to help you when it comes to gun rights. I think you would have better luck turning Patty Pansing-Brooks. But I shouldn't discourage others from trying. He needs to be pressed, whether anyone thinks it will really work or not. Maybe someone can get him to understand that being anti gun doesn't play so well at election time.

Speakers so far!

Mr. Dick Clark - Lawyer with the Dick Clark Law Firm, prior NFOA Board Member and Lobbyist
Chris Baker 1110 KFAB - 2nd Amendment advocate and radio personality of the Chris Baker show. Likes to mix the serious with the absurd or as Chris says "it's a mix of the salt and the sugar" sometimes known as "Road Range Relief."

Travis Potaka - Grassroots advocate for the 2nd Amendment and host of an outdoors, educational firearms YouTube channel called travisp11. Became active in the Pro 2A community within the last decade as rights of gun owners began being more and more restricted on a federal level. It was at that point that the 2A took on a bigger meaning. On his YouTube channel, he promotes and educates followers on the proper and safe use of firearms at the range, and communicates the importance of our firearms rights.
Waiting to hear back from Senator Mike Hilgers, Senator Steve Halloran, Senator Deb Fischer, Congressman Don Bacon, and others..

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.
-
Not long after their post about our rally, there was a post that said "Every Gun Death is Political."
And there you go...

SO not surprised! So we know they are going to make it political and our response should be readiness for their lies to be woven and their testimony to be crafted in a way that they hope will sway the ignorant - elected and otherwise. We have to do what it takes to ensure they are unsuccessful in using it as fodder for their political gain. We know the truth, we know that evil cannot be removed from our world and that we, who are good, lawful citizens are responsible and must remain capable of defending ourselves. We are the FIRST RESPONDERS!
-
Short of all-out confiscation, they don't have much of a leg to stand on.
Shooter was dishonorably discharged with makes him a prohibited person. Armed neighbor responded with his own rifle first, causing the shooter to flee. Armed neighbor gave chase. The authorities did nothing but respond after the fact. I keep hoping we hear that the neighbor fired the fatal shot and the POS didn't off himself.
-
I am hoping for the same
-
But back on topic, there were some great things said today at the rally, and thanks for sharing (again) the name of the speakers. I'd like to listen to the radio host that spoke today.

Amanda "F-Bomb" Gailey wasn't there frothing at the mouth???

I've listened to him the past few days on the way home from work. Moon Bat... that's funny stuff.
-
Yes, one of my favorite parts of his show. Cracks me up ;D

It is funny but scary because those people are out there and vote.

It is funny, and it is scary... but I tell you what... it's very motivating. It's what keeps me up at night and ready to rise early in the morning when it comes to working for the members of NFOA. We cannot take for granted that reason and logic will prevail. This line of thinking/emotion, shown in the moonbat emails, is like a virus. It's spreading. They talk and share among themselves in echo chambers that spread these perspectives and beliefs. I find time and time again, even when I can get them to accept facts they were not aware of, their emotions make their brains go back into their "safe spaces" and they revert back to their stubborn ignorance. I can acknowledge their utopian ideals of peace on earth sounds lovely, but there has been war, violence and crime for millennia. They refuse to acknowledge that within humanity is our best and our worst. You cannot have free will without accepting that fact. I prefer free will and the responsibility for my own security than to lose my freedom for some false sense of security. They go right back into their scripted arguments "if we just did this" or "if we just had this law" "if we just trusted the government to take care of us" blah blah blah. They refuse to acknowledge that Santa Claus is not real if you know what I mean. So we must do what it takes to make sure our voices are louder than theirs, our numbers are more visible than theirs, and that our votes are weighed as more important and numerous than theirs.
-
lets say. I worked with a large group of people,, every week, we would all write the most liberal leter you could think of, wed all throw a quarter into the pot, along with a copy of our letter, the First one to get there letter read on air, wins the pot, it could go on for several weeks. making the pot pretty good,

That would certainly be entertaining LOL
