Rallies against stricter gun control draw hundreds

The event is one of many rallies planned across the country Saturday. They come four days after President Barack Obama unveiled a sweeping plan to curb gun violence. (AP Photo - Eric Gay) By From Associated Press January 19, 2013 4:09 PM EST AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Hundreds of gun owners and Second Amendment advocates rallied in state capitals nationwide Saturday, days after President Barack Obama unveiled a sweeping package of federal gun-control proposals.

Some 600 attendees in Austin, Texas, carried signs bearing messages such as "An Armed Society is a Polite Society" and "The Second Amendment Comes from God." About 2,000 people — many carrying American flags and "Don't Tread On Me" banners — turned out for the chilly outdoor rally at the New York state capitol in Albany.

The "Guns Across America" rallies, which activists promoted primarily via social media, also followed New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's signing this week of the nation's toughest assault weapon and magazine restrictions.

Republican Assemblyman Steven McLaughlin told the crowd in Albany that New York's new law was an "abuse of power" by the governor.

"This is an outrage against humanity, what we're seeing," said protester Robert Candea, of Warwick, who brought his family along.

Police in Connecticut said about 1,000 people showed up on the capitol grounds in Hartford, about 50 miles from the site of last month's mass shooting at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School. Demonstrators there urged state and federal authorities not to introduce new restrictions on gun ownership as task forces created by the Legislature and Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy consider changes to state gun laws.

Those gathered elsewhere expressed similar concern that measures being proposed in the state and national capitols after the Newtown shootings could weaken gun- possession rights they say are inviolable.

"I feel every law-abiding citizen has a right to bear arms. It's a constitutional right. Nobody should try to take that away from us," said Joe Getchell of Pittsfield, Maine, who attended a rally in Augusta rally.

Authorities reported no problems at early rallies, which remained peaceful Saturday afternoon.

"I feel every law-abiding citizen has a right to bear arms. It's a constitutional right. Nobody should try to take that away from us," said Joe Getchell of Pittsfield, Maine, who attended a rally in Augusta rally.

No, it is not a "Constitutional right" as there is no such animals as that or unicorns. It is more correctly a right that man has always had, given by God the Creator, and mentioned in the Constitution. None of the founders would have told you that they were giving you any rights by listing some of them on a piece of paper. If they could have done that then another group of men with evil intentions could write contradictory words on another piece of paper and revoke your rights. And they do try that continually but they can't lawfully take away one of the rights that they never gave you to start with.

The .goob criminals are scared shitless of imminent, immediate justice being applied to their sorry asses (or heads, hearts, or wherever the crosshair choose).

These creatures are vermin, or worse; bed bugs.

The rally in Columbus, OH today drew about 400 and nearly every one of them had AR's or similar weapons over their shoulders. Quite a sight it was.

Don't blame me. I didn't vote.

Fantastic. I am sure it was something to see (and probably the only ones who will see it were those who were there).
