Hell no - gun grab

From Yahoo/Reuters:
Rallies assail Obama's proposed gun curbs
Pro-gun activists who say the right to own firearms is under attack from President Barack Obama's proposals to reduce gun violence held "high noon" rallies across the United States on Saturday in support of gun ownership rights.

The U.S. debate over gun control flared in mid-December when a man armed with an assault rifle killed 20 first-graders and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut - the deadliest of a string of U.S. shooting sprees last year.

"We are law-abiding citizens, business owners, military, and we are not going to be responsible for other people's criminal actions," former Marine Damon Locke said to applause at a Florida rally he had helped organize.

Some in the crowd of about 1,000 in Brooksville, about an hour north of Tampa, hoisted signs that said "Stop the Gun Grabbers" and "Gun control isn't about guns, it's about control."
Emphasis mine -- got that right. Nothing these attempts will do will prevent another mass shooting. It will only impede the vary folks who have a right to self-defense. There was a rally in Washington's state capitol -- from Seattle station KING:
'Guns Across America' rally at State Capitol today
Thousands of gun rights supporters are expected to attend a second amendment �Guns Across America� rally in Olympia.

Organizers say they want to speak out against misinformation and attacks on the character of gun owners.

Rallies at statehouses nationwide were organized by Eric Reed, an airline captain from the Houston area who in November started a group called "More Gun Control (equals) More Crime."

A coalition of guns rights and conservative groups organized a "Gun Appreciation Day" and urged Americans nationwide to show their support for gun ownership by turning out en masse at gun stores, ranges, and shows across the country.
The website for Guns Across America is just stubbed out at present -- no real content. The Facebook page for More Gun Control = More Crime is hopping with over 17K likes and an active forum. The parent website: Gun Control = More Crime is well done but serves more a a jumping-off spot for the Facebook site.
