ideas for signs for the capital gathering

[SMS]

Consider that you and your sign may be plastered across TV and Internet for time and eternity... Dress, act and represent the 2A cause in such a way that you'll be proud of such images.

Watch out for rabble rousers. Don't put it past the anti's to seed a crowd with one or more. It's an easy way to get a crowd to show their asses off for the press.

Sage advice there. Clean cut, calm, bearing a reasoned message focusing on crime and criminals instead of guns will carry more with the fence sitters and scared soccer-mom/dad types than military kitted out people ranting about tyranny and rebellion.

This is an opportunity to change peoples minds, not express anger, play dress up, and pretend at some fantasy.

One message I've thought about, should I be asked, is that all the solutions being proposed by the administration; limitations on guns, free speech (video games) or mental illness (restricting people for what they MIGHT do) are solutions involving restrictiing rights.
The only solution that would involve expanding rights is allowing more peoople to defend themselves.

Which one makes more sense?

Studies about how many times guns are used defensively would be another good thing to mention.

Here's some good info: Gary Kleck

”The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
~Thomas Jefferson

Erroneous quote. We need to make sure we are putting out accurate quotes or the whole thing loses credibility.

...the right of *THE PEOPLE* to keep and bear arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

We need more gun laws because criminals obey the law.

Why shouldn't law abiding citizens have the best tools available to defend their life and liberty.
