According to the local NBC station, Dallas Police expect “large” protests near this year’s NRA Annual Meetings. For days, the media has gleefully reported on all manner of gun control advocates bragging of plans to crash the NRA’s party.
How did these expected anti-gun counter-demonstrations go on Friday? Let’s face it: Big Gun Control threw a party Friday and (almost) no one showed up. In a city of over 1.3 million, less than a half-dozen die-hard gun-grabbing leftists turned out on to protest the first day of the NRA Annual Meeting. How pathetic, right?
Not only that, but Donald Trump joined Mike Pence speaking to NRA members at the Leadership Conference Friday. The mainstream media looked pretty thrilled with their assignment.
Just kidding. They would have looked happier picking up fresh dog feces bare-handed.
No, the mainstream media hate The People of the Gun. Instead of reporting fairly, media hacks attempt to marginalize the NRA family and treat us like second-class citizens.
For example, USA Today didn’t open their story about the 80,000 supremely polite and law-abiding NRA members expected to bring $100 million to the Dallas economy. Instead, the gun-hating scribes wrote of how “savvy young activists” planned to use the three-day event to “underscore their campaign” against the “powerful lobby for firearm makers.” Really.
Here’s the USA Today’s coverage:
DALLAS — The National Rifle Association’s annual conference in Dallas this weekend is its first since the high school killings in Parkland, Fla., and the savvy young activists who spawned a nationwide gun control movement are using the three-day event to underscore their campaign with rallies and protests.
President Trump and Vice President Pence, along with about 80,000 NRA members, were on hand at the downtown convention center for the gathering of the gun-rights advocacy group and powerful lobby for firearm makers.
The Civilian Disarmament Industrial Complex blames gun owners and the NRA for criminals’ misuse of guns – and even Islamic terrorist attacks in America – just as bigots blamed blacks for social ills many decades ago.
Gun grabbers say they don’t “feel safe” when good guys with guns are nearby, just like prejudiced white women in the 1940s and 50s didn’t “feel safe” with a black man sitting next to them on a bus or in a classroom.
Over time, those bigots lost the battle to segregate and marginalize African-Americans. And America became a better place.
So too will gun bigots lose their battle to relegate gun owners into second class citizen status, subject to arrest and imprisonment because we don’t “know our place” and sit down, shut up and give up our guns quietly.
No, gun owners will celebrate their freedom this weekend in Dallas at the NRA Annual Meetings.
We won’t sit down in the back of any buses or shut up. Instead, we’re going to fight back against those who would marginalize us and strip us of our rights.
The gun grabbers are planning more and flashier protests for Saturday. We’ll report, you deride.
