You are the enemy of a free Republic. We demand adherence to Constitutional standards now. Not ten years from now. Not by adding in exceptions into the Constitution.
This is the day that the nation is doing the pro-gun rally at statehouses.
Andrew and followers have specifically said that this is not to be about guns, and they don't want any guns visible at their gathering outside the gun show. No open carry, no rifles, etc.
I urge everyone to go downtown on the 19th at noon for the real pro-gun rally.

Andy, several people on INGO were inquiring your opinion on the open carrying of weapons at the event. I know you know the laws, and that it is totally legal to do so. But wanted your input before we show up.
What I want more than anything else is a civil, non-threatening tone. I would be horrified to see this become all about guns and people who like guns. My wish is to find common ground with people who do not like guns, but like other rights specifically guaranteed by our state and federal constitutions. Nonviolent protest. Satyagraha, is what I want...to find common cause against a government gone wild and bad. I'm certainly aware that this is at a gun show and I'm hoping to get lots of gun-owning patriots to show up. I certainly won't tell anybody he/she can't carry. But... Please try to understand the message is much more critical than the 2nd Amendment...because you don't have a 2nd Amendment when you don't have constitutions. Without rule of law, you have rule of force...and our government has far more of that with drones and armored personnel carriers and such than any of us could muster. No bravado. No show of force, please!
THis is Andrews response to this question on FaceBook.
Noble cause, although I'm not sure it's ours, at this time...

When is it our time for the Constitution?

Mr Horning is on Garrison right now. Yes, he is mixing the message to include all of the constitution. Again, good for him for assisting with our cause while stealing support from us for his.
How is he stealing support from anyone?
He is capitalizing on the current 2ndA fight we are in by rallying where we are concentrated. Would he have the same support doing his rally across town?
How is that stealing support? Is there a finite amount of support that can be shown and once it's gone, it's gone?
Again, I commend him for his foresight. Gun owners in mass, who are concerned for their 2nd Amendment rights, are a small part of of those whose interest may bring them to a Horning rally.
A rally conducted in a place where it's easy to take a stroll by and difficult to get an accurate count could make great political hay. Mr Horning could fairly effectively claim that everyone in line to get into the 1500 came to his rally. Along that same thought, will those in line be within ear shot of Mr Horning's megaphone?
