We are telling individuals who can not make it to the State Capitol Building, especially for those of you that are not on Oahu, to go to your local gun shops with your banners/signs/flags for "Gun Appreciation Day",  If anyone wants to come to Oahu for the event and needs a place to stay, you can contact me vial email (faryniak@gmail.com), I have an apartment that is furnished but i do not  use it.   I .would even be willing to offer transportation (on the island, not to the island) as well, but i can only offer that to 5 people max.

Have a great day all and do not forget to write your representatives!  You can use the easy NRAILA site to find your reps: http://www.nraila.org/get-involved-locally/grassroots/write-your-reps.aspx

Does anyone know if there is anything planned for Maui?
This is some bullshit guys,,, I know we have a lot of LE and military that look in on this site I HOPE you guys are more loyal to the constitution and your own freedom than you are to some lame ass politicians.
The fact of the matter is that these people have an agenda that doesnt involve your or my best interest. Think about it,,, why would they be trying to outlaw semi auto rifles if they didnt have something else up their sleeve, the FBI stats list right around 1% of the gun related murders as having an "assault weapon" as the tool of choice.
This is lame, Abercromby is part of the machine that has caused so many problems for our economy and such, our representatives who have been in Washington for years and years and years are part of the reason why the country is now bankrupt,, think about it,, I mean honestly look at the facts.
I have gone around about this with some of my neighbors and they just dont see it, they blame it everywhere but where the blame lays, BO did inherit a bunch of it so I attribute only a fraction of the problems to him, the gun stuff is definitely all his baby but it is also being pushed by the rest of the machine, you see that smug bastard clinton standing on the stage with him wispering to eachother, what a bunch of shit,
I hope the shit hits the fan, we sorta need something like that to reset this broken ass machine. where is that smiley that is showing finger!

Thank you much!    will keep trying to see if there are any folks going to go to the state building here on Maui,  gun shop I usually frequent the owners are gone so shop is closed, not sure about the others but will try to find out.

I'll be there hopefully with a sign on Saturday

Be ready.  The anti-gunners are on to this and will be there.  They will use any tactic to elicit a violent response, do not satisfy them.

I hope not or maybe he'll just a few members from the occupy crowed

Did anybody post flyers at kokohead

Just came back from Young Guns and I saw a flyer of sorts of the the counter for Guns Across America.  Maybe someone can go down to Young Guns and whatever other shops are open and post a flyer there with the "official" information for the Hawaii gathering.

Just came from Sec and the guys behind the counters didn't even know anything about this Saturday. Can someone be sure to send all the LGS the info ASAP?

We are up against this...

    Hello --Today President Obama announced a plan to help protect our kids and communities from gun violence. You're going to hear a lot about it, but I wanted to make sure you got a chance to get the facts, straight from me.After hearing from Americans from across the political spectrum, we decided to focus on some key priorities: closing background check loopholes, banning military-style assault weapons, making our schools safer, and increasing access to mental health services.The ideas we sent to President Obama are straightforward. Each of them honors the rights of law-abiding, responsible Americans to bear arms. Some of them will require action from Congress; the President is acting on others immediately. But they're all commonsense and will help make us a little safer.Now is the time for all of us to act.Read about the events that brought us to this point, learn about the plan we've proposed to help protect our kids, and then add your name in support to help build momentum for this plan.Here's what we've put together:We're calling for requiring background checks for all gun sales and closing the loopholes that allow dangerous individuals to make their purchase without going through one of these checks.We're asking for a new, stronger ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that allow a shooter to fire dozens of bullets as quickly as he can pull a trigger. And we're asking Congress to help protect law enforcement by make it illegal for members of the public to possess armor-piercing bullets.We're going to give law enforcement more tools and resources to prevent and prosecute gun crimes, and we're going to end the freeze on gun violence research that prevents the Center from Disease Control from looking at the causes of gun violence.We're calling on Congress to help make schools safer by putting up to 1,000 school resource officers and mental health professionals in schools and ensuring they have comprehensive emergency management plans in place.And we're going to increase coverage so that students and young adults can get access to the mental health treatment they may need.We know that no policy we enact or law we enforce can prevent every senseless act of violence in our country. But if we can save the life of even one child, we have a deep responsibility to act.Now is the time to come together to protect our kids. Learn about the plan, then add your name alongside mine:http://www.whitehouse.gov/now-is-the-timeThanks,Vice President Joe Biden        

They will make a very eloquent and misinformed plea to the masses. It will be very difficult to overcome the popular opinion, even tho it means that our rights will be taken. People will give up their freedoms for security, thereby they will receive neither freedom nor security.

our only hope is to work on the new generation.   they are pretty smart and believe it or not, they see what is happening.

Looks like we have support from the HRA.  If you are not a member I would encourage you to join to help the legislative fight we will be encountering soon.

Thanks for the good news Heavies!  I was wondering what the heck.

Looking forward to meeting Sam! 

does anyone have proof that "they" are organizing a counter demonstration?
not doubting it, i just want everyone to have an idea what "they" may try

Be ready.  The anti-gunners are on to this and will be there.  They will use any tactic to elicit a violent response, do not satisfy them.

Slides updated...  Need your help!

1. Need feedback to see if the message is correct.
2. Still looking for pictures to make the points of the slides clearer.
3. Need editing to make this short and fit the message into a single page document.

Thanks for looking!

I'll be at Koko Head to post up large signs and handout flyers tomorrow(friday) at 11AM-3PM and on Saturday morning 8-10AM.  I could use 2 volunteers on Saturday to help me at the pistol, steel target, and rifle ranges handing out flyers as shooters arrive.  I'll print the flyers

Thinking about getting message to one page.... it all comes down to this right?

1. We are law abiding citizens of Hawaii who have undergone firearm safety training, background and health checks and are productive members of society.

2. Guns protect us and our families from criminals (self defense message)

3. Guns protect us from government tyranny (2nd amendment message)

4. We are not criminals.  Go after the real criminals and do not criminalize us.

5. Support our local gun community

What do you think?

our only hope is to work on the new generation.   they are pretty smart and believe it or not, they see what is happening.
