No finger pointing here, there were hundreds in past years, that was good. Not pointing at you or anyone else.
Just the fact "The turn out was pathetic". Can we do better next year? I certainly hope so. OK, we want this, we want that....
"WE" need to get our collective acts together and get our voices heard.
We have old 2A groups, some with thousands of "subscribers", (and a lot of whiners) we have "new" 2A groups who want to help make a difference,, no show there either. There is no better voice than a unified voice.
WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT ON THE MOST LEGISLATIVELY INFLUENTIAL DAY OF THE YEAR
*****Gun Day at the capitol*****
Don't take it personally, hundreds of people didn't come through, we have to live with it and move on.
If the 3 most active 2A groups in Missouri (MSSA,GCLA, WMSA, do it again next year, I'll post the date as soon as I know it and send reminders every month!
Unless I just pack it in, throw up my hands and seay the heck with it.... Gett'n close.
I tried to stay out of it, but I have to second this. Making a blanket statement that anyone who wasn't there doesn't care is both completely false and plain ******* insulting.
I had 2 job interviews yesterday. It was the only time that would work for both myself and the companies I interviewed with. I didn't even get back to my home until 1 pm, much less able to make the hour plus drive to JC. I make no apologies, nor should I have to.
If your attitude is representative of those who attend these rallies (which I know it isn't, thankfully) I would never show to any of them. I do not allow myself to be around people who can see the cloud in every silver lining and insult people because of it.
Grapeshot is absolutely right in this regard. Stay positive and look toward increasing attendance for any upcoming events. I will tell you flat out, the way you're handling it now is not the way to get more people to show up.
