Decided to start a new thread so as to stop giving myself sky-high blood pressure every time I saw the old thread at the top.
The original thread: http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/showthread.php?119113-MDA-events-in-AZ-(TOMORROW!)
They are more than likely to "mobilize" (read: be paid to attend) again this year, and it would be nice to have a presence of pro-Rights, anti-rhetoric individuals to counter protest.
They'll have professionally-made signs and coordinated, possibly even pre-rehearsed poses, and will use (yes, USE) the children they bring along as sign holders to push that "guilt factor".
IMPORTANT!:
MDA likes to announce their plans at the last-minute so as to minimize the presence of pro-Rights activists; this is done to have a monopoly on the media coverage of the event in question (again, they revel in dancing on the graves of the victims, seeing as pro-Rights groups hadn't planned anything on that date out of respect for the victims), as well as trying to beat the pro-Rights individuals that are able to attend into submission.
From my experience with them last year, I can attest to their "swarm" tactic of having two or three bombard you with loaded questions such as "why are you against common-sense gun control?" (because history shows it doesn't work, and it ISN'T common sense to disarm the potential victims) or "we're trying to stop murders of young children. Why are you here?" (to remind people that criminals like unarmed victims, in fact, they seem to COUNT on it).
