Moms demand action going to be in indy on the 14

[gunworks321]

Show up with a bunch of coffee and serve it in cups that have pro gun logos on them

This is a great idea, but they probably wouldn't accept a cup for fear it would go off.

I don't think they should be ignored. I would go downtown if I wasn't going to be out of town. You don't have to open carry anything just be there with a sign or something. [STRIKE]If no one is there to counter them[/STRIKE] they will be all over the news with no opposition.

FTFY.

Regardless of how many 2A Supporters show up - the media is slanted liberally and will push their agenda regardless.

^^^This. If 10 people show up for MDA then it will be reported as dozens. If pro-2a show up, they will be portrayed as bullies and nutcases.

Or in the case when I went to a rally - there were hundreds of us and maybe a dozen or two of them.

News said there were hundreds of MDA supporters and made no mention of the huge pro-2A crowd or made very little mention. If you weren't there and only went by the media you'd believe that there were hundreds of MDA and that nobody showed up to support the 2A and the few that did were bullies.

Which is how you control the minds of people who are too indifferent to educate themselves by anything other than a 30 second TV spot.

For many people the media is all there is.

Most do not question what they are told on TV unless they know better.

And is why someone goes there and continues to take pics and video and post them online everywhere

That would be much more productive than an OC walk or standing there with Pro-2A signs.

In a church? Wouldn't that be sort of.....tacky?

Not at first.

It would probably be more effective to ignore them. Everyone went overboard with the support of Starbucks and that did more harm than good.

Sad you can't buy $5 coffees with your buddies anymore? Sounds to me that it did plenty of good...

A. It showed Starbuck's true colors
B. No self respecting gun owner should buy $5 Carmel Frapa Latte Chinos any way.

PS... Real men shouldn't suck through straws either... especially coffee!!! WTF

In church or tacky?

Paging MrsG.

yes Sylvain?
I know in the past IndianaMomsAgainstGunControl would have set up a counter protest. This is one we choose not to be there for.

^^^This. If 10 people show up for MDA then it will be reported as dozens. If pro-2a show up, they will be portrayed as bullies and nutcases.

I have been there and seen this behavior and it is unfortunate. Not only the media portrays us as nutcases, MdA can be viscous with words and although nothing has been said or done wrong by the pro2A folks, pro2A folks is the group that is always portrayed wrong.

When it's logic vs emotion - emotion will win damn near every time.

Is it because it's cold?

 

[Apriliaguy]

Well I think I'm going. I'm just going to take pics. And view thier discussions

 

[indykid]

We should show up with a sign that says "Just make murder illegal, that should fix it, right?"

Ha! Clever.

The logic won't make it past the ignorance barrier though.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Given the sensitivity of the day, I think its in our best interest to go dark that day and ignore them like many other pro 2A websites and FB pages. Anything meaningful on our side will be misconstrued as negative and insensitive through the lens of dead kids thanks to a complicit liberal media.

Remember you can lose a battle and still win the war. In fact many successful campaigns relied on failed battles to succeed.

Sun Tzu teaches us that it is best to choose your battles.

How about just have an anti abortion protest near them and anyone carrying just keep it well hidden. I mean they are just trying to save the children aren't they?
