An attempt at activism through Facebook

This group is trying to get 2nd Amendment activism off the ground. Anymore gun owners are sitting on the sidelines and have grown too lazy to call or do anything about the preservation of their rights.

If you're on Facebook, give it a like!

While I have no objection to online activism, real world activism seems more effective to me.

I saw a gentleman tonight at a store OCing and thanked him for carrying and respecting our rights. Not a wide audience, but hopefully encouragement to him to continue. From the handshake I got, I think I got the result I wanted.

Blessings,
Bill

Awesome, Bill!

The group is trying to organize people to have days of calls, emails, letters, and rallies. I agree, just posting on a website does nothing. Facebook affords less anonymity which may increase the accountability.

I can't believe Facebook deleted all of our gun groups, I'm speechless.

How's the run to 50 posts going? heh

Looks to be going well for him. 26 one liner posts in 90 minutes. Sitting at 44 right now.

Shame he'll probably never return to this thread to see the comments though.

I think the mods slapped him down.

I detest facebag. I would much rather meet real people and explain it to them. They need to see it work not just hear the same 2a rhetoric that an NRA brochure puts out.

While I understand the sentiment, you seem to discount the power that social media has in modern activism. How do you think most protests and rallies are planned? How do thousands of people organize within days for a protest event? I have watched some of these protest events unfold on social media. It's almost mesmerizing how quickly they can organize. Social media is a very powerful tool IF USED PROPERLY. If you wanted to get information out to a thousand people in minutes how would you do it? Whoever organized that FB group can do it with a few clicks.
