YOU Are the Gun Lobby!

Rally for Your Rights in Washington D.C.
BY TIM SCHMIDT - USCCA FOUNDER If you haven't already heard, there's an exciting upcoming event happening Nov. 2, 2019, in Washington, D.C.

As Concealed Carry Magazine Executive Editor Kevin Michalowski and CCMW Associate Editor Beth Alcazar announced in a recent special edition of Into the Fray, the 2nd Amendment Rally is a "non-partisan event supporting our rights. Speakers, advocates, activists and supporters hope to share a unified message that our right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Per the event website:

The 2nd Amendment Rally "is a grassroots event, organized and funded by grassroots activists, open to all supporters of the Constitution and lovers of liberty. If you value your constitutional right to bear arms [and] the right to defend yourself, and if you value the lives of the men and women who have died to keep those rights intact, now is the time to take a stand. Join us in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 2, 2019, and let your voice be heard. We are at a critical time in our nation's history, and right now, the country needs the Gun Lobby more than ever."

The lineup of speakers includes notable and powerful voices in the pro-2A community, including Erich Pratt of Gun Owners of America, Maj Toure of Black Guns Matter, Dianna Muller of the DC Project and Anthony Garcia of Save the Second.

YouTube influencers and Second Amendment advocates hickok45 and Iraqveteran8888 will also be in attendance. And don't worry: If you can't make it, you can show your support for the Second Amendment, the 2A Rally and our pro-2A allies on these pages!

Kevin is also planning on sharing footage — some LIVE — from the event, which will kick off at 12:30 p.m. on the West Lawn (National Mall Side) in front of the Capitol Building.

You can check out more details and register for the 2nd Amendment Rally here.

Remember: YOU are the gun lobby. YOU can help secure the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our Posterity. YOU can stand up, speak up and fight for your God-given right to defend yourself before it's too late.

As Kevin and Beth have already pointed out, this event is "open to ALL lovers of liberty, whether you attend in person, support the cause or just spread the word."

I hope you'll seize this incredibly important opportunity to make a difference!

Take Care and Stay Safe,

P.S. - Speaking of fighting for our right to keep and bear arms, have you checked out the new Gun Facts pages on our website? We take some frequently used statements about firearms and look for research and data to assess whether those statements are fact or fiction. Our goal is to provide sound and objective information that has withstood scientific scrutiny. (As such, we also provide reference links to independent research.)

The page on concealed carry includes info on the following statements:

• "Concealed carry laws and constitutional (permitless) carry laws increase crime." (Fiction)
• "Murder rates increase with the number of concealed carry permits." (Fiction)
• "Concealed carry permit holders stop crime." (Fact)
• "Concealed carry permit holders will commit crimes." (Fiction)

There are lots of graphs, video links and references to major research reports on these pages. If you like numbers and are looking for a way to use facts in your conversations with those who may not view guns the same way as you, this is a great place to start: https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/gun-facts-and-fiction/concealed-carry/.
