My big decision is Portsmouth or Norfolk. Gee, they're SO far apart...
Make sure to take a sign that says, "HERE LIE UNARMED VICTIMS"

No 'gun-safe zones' to protest in, not even the schools...

It is what it is
National Lying Across America: Once You're Disarmed And Defenseless, That'll Make Everything All Better.
Gun-Free Zone = Victim Disarmament Zone. Gun-Free Zone = Criminal Empowerment Zone. When Citizens Are Disbarred From The Means Of Defense, Then Only Criminals Are Armed. When Defending Yourself Is A Crime, Then Everyone Is A Criminal. Citizens: People With A Stake, A Future. Subjects: Living "By Another's Leave." Gun-Grabbers: Gun Owners Are Easy Targets. Politicians: Apathetic Citizens Are Easy Targets. Criminals / Wolves: Sheep Are Easy Targets. Sheep Get Slaughtered. Citizen: Mommy, May I? Nanny State: Only When, Where And How Others Say. VT Lesson: Feeling Safe <> Being Safe. Barbarism: Defending Your Loved Ones Is Insufficient Cause. From My Cold, Dead Hands ... Come And Take It. A Nation Of The Strong: Where Citizens Are Strong, Willing And Able. A Nation Of The Defenseless: Where Citizens Are Disarmed, Unwilling And No Longer Able. Choose. Government Has No Specific Legal Requirement To Protect You. Government Has No Specific Legal Right To Disarm You. Government Has The Specific Power To Protect Government, At Your Expense. When Seconds Count And Your Life Is Threatened ... Pick One:

Not sure if it's a good idea to politicize this on the anniversary, although these silly demonstrations should be checked in some way.
By the way, the law was changed in VA so that someone like the VA Tech scumbag would be flagged in a background check. "Easy Guns," to these people means,"any guns," period.

I like the "HERE LIE EASY TARGETS" sign idea.
