IMO, if you want to go and lend your support to the ending of gun violence, feel free. It doesn't say a thing about having to believe in disarmament, just a march and gathering to lend a voice to help end gun violence. Just because you carry a gun should not exclude you from joing in the desire to support a peaceful demonstration to bring awareness to the ending of gun violence.

In my opinion, crashing other peoples party's is rude and wins no friends nor brings honor to your point of view.
Anybody want to open carry at this event.
Stuff like this is why I don't go to the Catholic church anymore, they keep supporting political causes that have nothing to do with belief in God, "ending gun violence" is simply code for "civilian disarmament"
The fact the Dioscises is allowing their facility to be used to support this is evidence enough, IMO
For the same reason I didn't go to the Ceasefire rally, I won't be at this one.....I feel it's important for each side to have their say, no matter how vehemently I disagree with what they are saying. Showing up armed at a candlelight vigil with an opposing viewpoint won't be taken positively by those attending and won't be portrayed in a positive light by the media. We will look like bullies to the general public, and that shouldn't be the image we are going for. What would be good is to have a rally of our own with an opposing viewpoint; they can have their say and we can have ours. Crashing their party does us no favors and will not win over anybody on the fence....in fact it may push people to the anti side.

Was that not in olympia recently....thirty five hundred Legally Armed Citizens.......and no one injured.When is our march to voice our concern to eliminate the criminal use of guns to commit violent crimes?
I not only OCd the ceasefire rally, I walked in the parade. When asked what "A Right not Exercised is a Right Lost", we explained we were supporting their First Amendment Right. We continued to explain that we supported the entire Constitution.
