"not much" indeed... if this is what passes for an "event"....:rolleyes: we're doomed to obscurity...

Mixed feelings on the whole AR stunt. Ya, I "get" what he's trying to do. But- I think he forgets an important fact-that the avg. Joe Schmo out there doesnt know, and isnt terribly inclined to make the distinction, that an AR pistol is a pistol vs. a rifle..:rolleyes:
Avg. Joe is looking at that thing and seeing-in his/her mind an AR or "machine gun".
Now, you, me and most of the others in here are like, "so what?" -but when we need to build more public support to help us along on this issue-how,exactly,does something like this help?

Exercising your rights is dumb! Don't do it or the boot on our necks may get heavier! Appease the boot! Lick it! Lick it!

A Right Unexercised is a Right Lost.

Why do I bother? I leave you to pulling the roof down on your own heads... Every day hard at work, ensuring tomorrow will be worse than today. I guess if that is how you define success, you can't go wrong...

Hey, here's a wild idea! Get out there and participate! So maybe the next time someone films the event, there will be more people there. Melbourne had over 100 a couple of months ago.

I was planning to hit the Daytona Event. But, I was recently attacked by Circus County's Finest, again... We'll see how I feel when the day gets here.
