Attendee (overheard): “I get nervous when I am too close to people.”
Probably not 50 MDA members in the state.
Thanks. They never have hysteria. But if they took your photos you are probably going on their “do not admit” list for private eventsWe were OC. No hysteria from ATF agent or most MDA types. A few demonstrated ridiculous ignorance. Driving home now. More info to come.

I had no choice.gutshot II, you left to soon. The fireworks came at the end. A few women popped a gasket when they were told that they were conditioned to believe that AKs and ARs are evil guns just like they were conditioned to believe snakes are evil.
Some young man (maybe a high school student) walked up to me after the meeting and thanked me for pointing out that the mad mommies were sold a bill of goods as to the evil guns.
They had available their meeting schedule that included a general mission statement. The mission statement made it clear they are anti-gun.
These people need to be kept in check.
FUDDs they are. Taking a dear once a year does not a 2A supporter make. My family is infested with FUDDs.Anyway, they tried to portray themselves as gun owners who believe in reasonable gun control. Then they had a show of hands, how many had firearms in their homes (maybe 20%), how many were actual owners (4, maybe 5). - eye95
Please send me the recording if you wouldYou’re welcome.
I did not see anyone taking our pictures. They seemed to welcome our presence. I think they were mistakenly thinking that we might come around to their “reasonable” way of thinking. I can’t imagine any of us would. I wouldn’t.

ATF agent thought no one used clips anymore. I let that slide, thinking he was only considering clip-loading firearms. We sell ammo already on clips, for easy loading of magazines.
Essentially, the ATF talk was a primer on how not to look ignorant when debating a 2A defender. Some of them came off pretty dumb anyway, like the lady who kept trying to portray AR-15s as evil by asking how big a hole do they make. I wanted to shout, “Same size as just about any other .223 firearm,” but generally kept my mouth shut.
My only comment was to correct the common misconception that AR stands for Armalite Rifle. It stands just for Armalite. The AR-24 is a handgun.
I recorded the entire meeting. After I listen to it, if it has decent quality, I will upload it.
How would you like me to send it, and to where?Please send me the recording if you would...
There are over 50 regular members in the Louisville chapter alone. The most I have seen at one time is about 100 in their matching red shirts. Their FB page has over 3k followers. They have a rapid response team that can go anywhere in KY, IN, and OH at a moment’s notice. I have seen them come to meet with law makers with gift baskets. They got Louisville Metro to waive the $5k it usually costs to rent the lights at the Big4 Bridge and light it orange for “gun violence awareness” day. They have reps in both local, state, and federal a government wear their pins at meetings. When they go to speak to officials they claimed to represent over 5k Kentuckians across all counties, and that was a few years ago. Even when organizations like KC3 and the NRA represent well more than that, officials listen, including mine in “Republican” territory

Calling a liberal a liberal is not a pejorative...unless you are a liberal. Reasonable folks understand that liberals will do whatever it takes to erode our individual liberties. What they do not know, in many cases, is what they can do to counter the liberal agenda beyond their single vote. Educating them on their enumerated rights and why these rights deserve protection is my focus when I have an opportunity to discuss this topic with regular folks. I typically analogize property rights with our 2A as a starting point.
Example: What would you think if I were to tell you that some folks would like to require you to get a permit from the government to carry your cellphone, else you could be fined or jailed if you violate the law on cellphone carry.
