    It's less about being pro 2A and more about fearing for the next election. But if that fear works, I will take it. Can't make Friday's rally due to work but I hope it is well attended.

    Seriously, WTH schedules a rally for a work day when their target demographic AREN'T Obama voters? Sorry, I'm not in the Wisconsin Teachers Union, I can't call in sick to go hang out at a political rally.

    Are you going to go rally in front of an empty building at the Capitol on a weekend when no one is there? Our gov works the same days as the rest of us.

    Did you go to the rally on SATURDAY the 19th? When we had that rally... people were saying "but it is a weekend... nobody will be there" and now that we are having one during the week people are saying "but it is a work day... don't people know we work?" People have been given options now... but my guess is the excuses will continue to flow.

    I was at the one on Sat the 19th and I'll be at the one tomorrow on Friday. I had to talk it over with the boss, but he is flexible... I'll work a few more hours today and a few hours over the weekend to make up for the few hours I miss tomorrow. If I couldn't do that, I could always just take a half a day of PTO. I know PTO is precious and people don't want to "waste" it... but I find the cause important enough to use a half a day of vacay if I have to.

    As a matter of fact, I DID attend the Saturday rally on the 19th despite a nasty cough and cold. I attended and then I came home, took my meds and collapsed for the rest of the weekend and holiday. It's not a matter of "wasting" PTO, it's a matter of having things I have to do at work on a workday. The media were there and reported on the rally even if they did deliberately undercount us. I just don't think they'll need to undercount you tomorrow since most gun owners aren't Obama voters getting their Obama phones and Obama checks.
