02/23/13 .223 Day of Resitance

[Skully]

I saw there was a post in the General Discussion from 02/01/13 but no one replied. Should be in Legislation & Politics.

I have heard no talk of another rally for Colorado. Thought the date was unique although not sure if anyone outside of the firearms community would understand the catchy meaning of .223/02-23-13. I caught it off of a TTAG post

Day of Resistance (http://dayofresistance.com/)

Thoughts anyone heard anything organized here in Calirado?

I submitted my information to be "connected" with others around me. We'll see what I get.

Count me in for a resistance.

What are resisting? Exactly how are we resisting?

[Skully]

What are resisting? Exactly how are we resisting?

I am just passing it off as a clever name and date tie in to organize more rallies with any group wanting to do it.

As far as resisting, we are resisting the onslaught of feel good pushed party line agendas. [Coffee]

Bill of Rights. Void where prohibited by law.

The day they want my guns they'll have to bring theirs.

An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

How can you praise freedom, and condemn that which gains and preserves it?

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.
