ProtestEasyGuns.com is planning to hold a "lie-in" protest in Atlanta, Georgia, on Sunday, February 3, 2008. The protest will be held at 2:30 PM, in the park directly across from the CNN building. Updates will be posted HERE on their site.
ProtestEasyGuns.com is an anti-gun organization with four main goals.
1. They believe that background checks for gun purchases should no longer be instant. They do not state how long they believe such background checks should take.
2. They believe that trace data on all firearms purchases should be made public, even though making such information public would serve no useful purpose and could endanger the lives of law enforcement officers.
3. They believe that any exchange of firearms between private citizens should be subject to a federal background check (this is often referred to as "closing the 'gun show loophole'"), thereby, creating de facto gun registration.
4. They want the 1994 federal "assault weapons" ban reinstated, despite the fact that it had absolutely no measurable impact on crime when it was in effect.
ProtestEasyGuns.com recently hosted a well-publicized "lie-in" at the Virginia state capitol, in an effort to pressure state legislators to pass a bill aimed at closing the "gun show loophole." Fortunately, a strong counter-protest by gun rights advocates had the desired effect, and the bill was defeated.
