Where are the Chest Thumpers®? Where are those guys who were giving us a endless litany of Fuck the NRA for the last 2 years? Where are the self-appointed defenders of the Second Amendment in Florida who swore to us over a stack of bibles that they would do a better job than Marion Hammer and guaranteed us 100% no compromise bills passed? Where the fuck were you guys? Fishing again?
This was the opposition in Tampa yesterday:
This is an embarrassment. And whatever crap law falls upon us next legislative season, it will be because the armchair activism of gun owners who found easier to fuck our side with their bullshit than actually step up and out.
POLITICIANS DO NOT GO TO FISHING PIERS, GET IT?
The question I have: Was this a stealth photo op?
Remember a couple of years ago where MDA held a photo op at the NRA annual meeting and a number of photos were taken showing how small the gathering actual was because NRA members heard about it?
And the next year, MDA held another photo op but they didn’t tell anybody till the last minute where it would be. So they bus in their people and nobody showed up to document the actual size because nobody knew where it was happening.
They didn’t even show up the next year.
When I see these sorts of photo ops show up, I wander how much advanced warning anybody on this side had. An email goes out to the MDA crowd saying “Show up at such and such a place for a protest march.” People show up, they get loaded on to the buses. The buses take them downtown to have their demonstration/photo op. They get off the bus only after they have their nice red shirts on with a promise of box lunch when they returned.
Remember the Mall in DC after the counter “protest” of Glenn Beck’s tea party rally? Hundreds of empty box lunch boxes and pre printed signs littering the mall. And everybody gone when 5pm came as that was the end of the work day.
They pulled this in a 100 cities in 50 states, or at least that is what the PR release said.
Still it does not matter: we don’t have the people with the same resolution to do shit.
