No matter what it should be readable from a good distance, at least 50 - 75 yards, and in just a few seconds. I've seen writing on a car that is for sale and when I go driving by I can't read squat because it is too small. Not all signs have to be this way as some will be seen by the media or other folks just walking by, but that should be the target for a lot of them.
"It's not the odds of being attacked, it's the stakes."
"Gun free zones haven't stopped a single crime. Why would a gun free country?"
"Gun free zones haven't stopped a single crime. More won't be better."
"Gen free zones haven't stopped a single crime. YOU MAKE A GOOD FOLLOWUP."
"Owing a gun doesn't guarantee safety. Having an airbag in a car doesn't guarantee survival. But BOTH are a great idea to have!"
"No one wants a kitchen fire but we have extinguishers just in case. No one wants to be a victim so we have guns just in case."
"The true reason for the 2nd Amendment is not to stop crime or go hunting, but as a bulwark against tyranny."
"If a criminal is kicking in my door I'd rather a pistol in my hand for protection than a phone with 911." (I was going to say "....45 in my hand..." but some might not know what it means)
From my previous idea it is also good to presume ignorance from the reader. Some folks might not connect if you said M1911, so don't use it. Use "pistol" or "firearm" or "gun" instead.
At any of these public events it would be awesome to have someone there who can speak well and has used a firearm to prevent a crime! They don't have to have fired it, and it would be a better narrative if they haven't. But to have a firsthand account of a positive use for a gun would go much further to counter the argument that guns are only bad. A personal story will go miles farther than a hypothetical one.
Put together a media packet with lots of linked data for the press! They LOVE handouts and are too pressed for time to look stuff up on their own. When you hand them a packet of condensed information with links for them to follow up on it saves them a huge amount of time and they are far more likely to quote some of the information you have handed to them. The easier you make the reporters job the more likely they are to report your narrative.
I would avoid using the swastika in any manner whatsoever!!! I would want ZERO links with any symbolism to do with white supremacy, even in a derogatory manner. Imagine a picture in the paper with a gun rights group and cropped off is a swastika to the side! All of a sudden you are a white supremacist! It won't matter what the sign said, only that in the picture or someone driving by they see the swastika and you and that ends it for them. Don't use it.
