Sorry no PRO rallies. There are the usual anti's that are paid by a certain group financed by former minority President that are hitting the streets in Fla and Cali.
How about Anti FBI rallies? THEY are responsible for the last spree. Sadly you can't sue the Federal Gov. Works out well for them.
I would caution that, while I would absolutely defend the 2A in any confrontation, timing is very important.
If the events of Sandy Hook and Las Vegas have taught gun folk anything, it is to be patient. Give the antis some space to mourn, vent, and scream. It is part of the human experience. To avoid giving them that risks making us all look like douchebags.
When they try to organize legislatively, then we can respond on that field of battle - because it favors us.
When we see counter-examples of GGWG defeating BGWG, then we can respond - because it favors us.
When we respond emotionally to emotional arguments, then it does not usually go well.
All IMHO obviously.
Your statement is misleading and false. The FBI may have failed at preventing it but they are not responsible for it happening. The idiot that did the shooting is responsible for it.
I believe you are in error. The job of the FBI is to INVESTIGATE crimes and tips. The head of the FBI admits they dropped the ball and did NOT follow up on the MANY tips. Now it turns the shooters former girlfriend also reported him many times. YES they are responsible for not doing their jobs.
Also, we are in a post-Heller world. That significantly changed the legal landscape of the 2A as an individual right.
I read this article a while ago. With the emotional outcry and call for more of the same knee-jerk actions, I wouldn't have guessed this.

Let's accept that the young man threatened to shoot up the school.
What federal law does that violate?
I understand that the FBI has come out and said they should have "investigated." But that leaves me wondering... for what? That hasn't been made clear.
Rather, state law "intimidation" or other threatening behavior type crime makes more sense. The locals would've had more ability to do something about it than the federales. I am absolutely open to correction on this, though.
Honestly?
In all due respect get someone who has watched the news in the last week to keep you posted.
Thanks for the link. That was an interesting read, as were the linked articles from the WaPO and CNN within the NR post. Those two really surprised me! They said pretty much the same thing as the NR post, but were mainly focused on the lack of pro-gun control advocates in the under 35 group. The CNN article made me wonder, as it continually contrasted that specific age group's change from the '99-'00 time period, when more under 35ers were for more gun control, and the last five years, when they're pretty much split down the middle. I wonder if it's less the current tragic events' lack of coloring them toward a "more gun control is needed" state of mind or if the attacks on 9/11 have urged them toward a "we need to protect our right to protect ourselves" (my personal summation of the 2A as to why it's so important)?? I realize that no one can give a definitive answer to this. Just something that is rolling around in my head after reading these articles/posts.

Amazing "PISTOL GRIP?" "COLLAPSABLE STOCK?' Well the Mauser, Enfield, O3 Springfield, SKS, M14 and M1 Carbine did a great job killing without those. Pelosi is INSANE.

I think you incorrect because since last Wednesday Cincinnati schools has had 4 kids arrested and Boone County (Northern Kentucky) has had 5 school kids arrested. All for making copycat threats either at school or social media. So, it is against the law to make a terroristic threat against a school.
