The new media showed MSNBC as the propagandist and liars they are so we actually won that round. We are increasing our numbers because we are not all in ties and dress pants. It is the substance and not flash of people that matters. If we are all in ties and white shirts the media will say that is the uniform of the “New Racist Conservative Army” or something. We should represent well but the truth is, as the Republicans have not yet learned, it doesn’t matter what we do the media types are going to show us in the worst light they can. We cannot win where the “Establishment Media” is concerned and it is time we stop trying. It is a waste of time.

Our message is the truth and that truth can be conveyed to people better if we simply talk to them as the people we are. If I am wearing a suit and tie I will not have any influence on most people around here. Same if I put on Biker Leather and cover myself in tats. That is my world and we each must live in our own diverse existence. All included as long as they agree that we have a God given (natural) right to keep and bear arms and exercise our rights freely as long as we are considerate of others rights. So, if we are going to protest we should wear our best Leather or tie or jeans and boots or whatever. We should show total control and restraint and represent well. But doing so that we don’t look like a modern incarnation of Nazi Brown Shirts. Each to his own for a single goal of restoring the full freedoms of the American People. That is my opinion.

How is not doing a demonstration "destroying ourselves?"

Chas.

I was commenting on how Texas gun law seems to revolve around the actions of Black Americans. We have the restrictions we do because of racist laws from the past. The one you explained the history of is yet another example of frightened white people making laws to make sure so called "Minorities" are kept in their place. The evolution of law now has us all restricted by those fears. No, demonstrations are not destroying us, but the laws based in fear of race and/or the civil rights of Texas residence are.

I guess if the anti-gun types want to keep us from exercising our Second Amendment rights all they have to do is send out the “scary black guys” to exercise their civil rights. That way we will continue to destroy ourselves out of ignorant fear while they set back and laugh.
