Nice little rally you’re having here. Be a shame if anything happened to it …

A gun-rights group denies it’s being insensitive by scheduling a rally in the same park where another group plans to the read names of gun violence victims on the anniversary of the Colorado theater shootings.
Rocky Mountain Gun Owners scheduled a rally for Friday to coincide with a remembrance ceremony planned by Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
Both will gather at noon at a Denver-area park.
Park officials couldn’t immediately say how close together the events would be.
Rocky Mountain Gun Owners on Thursday accused Mayors Against Illegal Guns of politicizing the tragedy in a Denver suburb. Twelve people were killed and 70 were hurt one year ago Saturday.
Tom Sullivan, whose son was killed, says he will be at the remembrance. Sullivan says the nation needs “common-sense” gun policies.
This is from their Facebook page:
This Friday, July 19th, Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, will be doing a rally in Aurora as a part of their nationwide “No More Names” gun control tour.
Join RMGO and other gun rights supporters from across the state for a peaceful “counter-rally” to tell big city gun-grabber Bloomberg to keep his hands off of our Constitutional rights.
Look for the RMGO Pinzgauer, and make sure to get one of our “I Will Not Comply” t-shirts.
See you there!
According to their website, open carry is perfectly legal in Colorado so I’d expect to see them all decked out like Rambo so they can swagger around with their huge weapons and intimidate the people at the gun control rally. That’s how they roll.
Here’s a sampling from their Facebook page. I think they actually believe this bullshit.
