I get the professional attire. I get off of work early and will try to make it.

Is everyone meeting up somewhere?

I'm a noob at this stuff but would love to show up to support.  Especially since this meeting fits perfectly with my crazy schedule.

I'd like to go but just had surgery and am on crutches plus lots of pain. The more details posted the better as it will help me decide if it's even possible.

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.  :shaka:

I actually went so far as to put this on my calendar, only to realize that I was triple-booking myself.  While I have managed to be in two places at once a few times in the past, I just don't think I can manage three!

Imagine if one of y'all called Espero out, noting that ruling that invalidates his bill. Wouldn't that be something. Record it and put it on YouTube.

It's my birthday, maybe I can bring some gun shaped brownies.

Which ruling?

A quote from z06psi, from the post "Ige signed"

"According to the Supreme Court this is an Unconstitutional action. It is unconstitutional to Register (record in a government database) the exercising of a right (Thomas v Collins 1945, Lamont v Postmaster General 1965, Haynes v US 1968)."

I would be willing to point that out if the audience is given a chance to ask questions. Just got to research it to make sure I get the exact language.

That'd be great except I'm pretty sure this meeting isn't going to be a law-schoolish discussion about the legality and/or constitutionality of existing or proposed laws. I believe what they want to do is propose more "gun control". I suspect the list will include "assault weapon" ban, "high capacity" (aka "standard capacity") magazine ban, background checks for ammunition purchases, create a "handgun roster", special "gun violence prevention" tax (10%-25%) on all firearms and ammunition, "prohibited person" status  due to "hate crime" conviction (e.g. "racism" (e.g. advocating deporting illegal aliens, etc.)) etc. In other words, adopt California's "commonsense gun safety regulations". I suppose it's possible that at some point during the discussion Espero could ask "Is there anyone here who has litigated cases before the Supreme Court of the United States that would like to comment on the lawfulness of these proposals?" But I doubt it.

Plus, the really bad thing is that SCOTUS has let stand every one of those laws so far (okay, well except for the "hate crime" "racist" prohibition which I made up (but wouldn't be surprised if it exists in various jurisdictions) to show the ridiculousness of it all)).

EDIT: spelling error.

In that case we'll be represented well.  Not sure what Esperi wants to get out of this "meeting" since some of the topics are not points now.
No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

Will be there... Spreading the word to a few others as well.   Fingers crossed we'll have a good turnout  :shaka:

I will be attending, (as long as nothing crazy happens between now and than) look for green hair :)

So, I'm new to this as well. Though I did attend the rally in January as the start of the political season, I'm not sure where to meet. Assuming it's the capital and room 229. Please correct me if different.
