Antigun protest outside NYSE today 8/10

[gunpoliticsny]

At 11:20 am NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, Community Capacity Development, and anti-gun advocates will gather outside the New York Stock Exchange to call on corporations to take an active role in community safety by investing in and supporting people and communities most affected by "gun violence." New York Stock Exchange, 20 Broad Street, Manhattan.

Supporting people and communities most effected by CRIMINAL us of guns...

And we won't discuss the demographics implied of course! Because those diversity standards demand they be whitewashed... Pun intended!

Like the ridiculous marijuana tax that will reward the communities most effected by drug enforcement over the years... I don't understand and do not agree with! Not in any shape or form!

So these protestors want to reward gangbangers in Chicago or Detroit, or any other hotspot of physical violence where the main tool being used is a firearm! Befuddling... I wonder when they will just protest themselves! When will they express outrage at those PERSONS committing the violence and stop blaming others and blaming inanimate objects!

I wish they announced this stuff early enough for working people to counter-protest.

 

[Jezman]

I am sure millions will show for support!

Eh, there's a march or demonstration for everything imaginable if not every day, every weekend.
NYS know where the real problem is, but wants to pass it off as negligence from a highly regulated, tracked, and controlled industry:
"
This nuisance poses specific harm to New Yorkers
based largely on their zip code and certain immutable characteristics
such as race and ethnicity. Illegal firearm violence has disproportion-
ately affected underserved black and brown neighborhoods in our cities
and throughout the state despite stringent state and local laws against
the illegal possession of firearms while, according to the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives statistics, 74% of firearms
used in crimes in New York are purchased outside of New York...." THIS is from Senate Bill S-7196

Bunch of pick-pockets in that crowd.

Don’t they understand that people don’t invest in those areas because of theft, vandalism, robberies, and violence against workers?

I share the info as soon as I get it.

 

[kev74]

I share the info as soon as I get it.

I appreciate it.

When our side can stop infighting long enough to demonstrate, we've got time to organize busses and make no effort to hide it from the gun grabbers.

When the commie leftists pull this crap, they put out a press release the morning of and bus their hired stooges in.

Hammer the new gov everyday on the safe act, bail reform , liability etc til its repealed .. need more than 150ppl tho

 

[gunpoliticsny]

We don't need demonstrations. 2A people need to be involved in R & D party politics, candidate selection and election.

This is what the antis are doing.

Everytown for Gun Safety will spend $3 million to train its volunteers to run for office.

Our side should do the same, but none of the ostensibly pro-gun organizations are even pretending to care about elections.
