Armed March on DC Scheduled for April 19th

April 19th: Liberty's show of force
March 10, 6:57 AMSt. Louis Gun Rights Examiner
Kurt Hofmann




April 19th looks to be a big day for gun rights.  On the 235th anniversary of the "shot heard 'round the world," the Washington Monument grounds in D.C. will be the scene of the Second Amendment March (actually more a rally than a "march"), from 10 AM to 4 PM.

Follow the link for much more information.  For those who can't make it all the way to Washington, click here for developing information on coordinated state marches.

What I really want to talk about, though, is another event on April 19th--not at all far from the main march in D.C. itself.  I refer to the Restore the Constitution Rally, mustering at Ft. Hunt National Park, and from there, moving to Gravelly Point Park--only about a mile from the D.C National Mall.

Why a separate rally, near D.C., but not in it?  Because the point of the Restore the Constitution Rally is for it to be a visibly (peaceably) armed rally, which would, of course, be more than a little illegal in D.C.--and an argument can still be made for the idea that the time for open (very open) defiance of gun laws has not yet arrived.

WIth that in mind, event organizers have drawn up a set of "Rules of (non) Engagement," to avoid trouble.  If you plan to attend, read those rules, learn them, know them, become one with them--we haven't quite exhausted the first three boxes yet.

In other activism news, I wish health and logistics were not preventing my participation in Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day (IGOLD) today, but I am grateful for the people who are making it the success I know it will be.

That is very interesting.  Guns are still illegal in DC, correct?  I would love to see thousands of armed citizen's marching in DC.  You can't arrest them all...

The DUmmies have had several threads about this, but they don't tie it to events of 235 years ago. They claim that it's people that side with Timothy McVeigh, Randy Weaver and the Branch Davidians.  :mental:

WTH? The left could riot all day long against anything and one possible demonstration by people that support the right to bear arms and they compare us to McVeigh? In reality almost all  of the the rioters at the G7 summits and the WTO meetings are Commies ,Socialist and Anarchist ,

Problem with this whole plan is that it only takes one dangerous loon in the entire crowd to make everyone else look like dangerous loons.

One may do that and make me look like dangerous part of a group, but I will be there. I am going to the daughters for a week or so in GlenDale , Md. so I'll just take the metro downtown DC to be there in person.

I was talking about the 'armed' rally, which is NOT in DC, since if you show up there with gun in hand it'd get confiscated and you'd get locked up and prosecuted.  I'm not sure which one you meant you're going to attend, but the one that IS in DC is the one without weapons.
