NRA could organize it, particularly if they coordinated their efforts with other pro-2nd organizations such as GOA and JPFO.
Make no mistake it COULD be done, and attendance could easily break a million, but
it'd take time and determined effort. I figure it wouldn't be possible to make it happen
before July 4th...which would of course be an ideal day to hold the march.
There would be problems, though. Some people would insist on marching ARMED. But
for obvious reasons, it would have to be strictly a "leave your guns at home" event.
And yet...what more powerful statement could be made than to see well over one million
armed citizens marching through Washington, DC, in a peaceful show of force?
The danger of that deteriorating rapidly would be too great.

It was done in 1994 and 1995, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, I went to the 1995 rally. It was peaceful and well organized unfortunately far less than a million.
A few groups have come close, the original Million Man March, the Million Mom March, and Promise Keepers were all near that mark.longwatch wrote:It was done in 1994 and 1995, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, I went to the 1995 rally.

Does the million man march even get anywhere near a million? I thought they only called it that because it sounded good.
I can see the CNN "Breaking News" headline now:I wonder what they (they being the government) would do if 1,000,000 armed citizens took to the streets of DC to peacefully protest?
Food for thought.I think the armed aspect of it should be thought about.

BREAKING NEWS - 1 MILLION ARMED DOMESTIC TERRORISTS DESCEND ON CAPITOL
The next AWB would unanimously pass the next day, no grandfather clause, and no sunset.
I personally like the idea of a march, but think it would be extremely stupid to do it armed.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe that for a split second!A few groups have come close, the original Million Man March, the Million Mom March, and Promise Keepers were all near that mark.
Oh puulease, we'll be hearing from that _itch soon enough, Joycelyn Elders. Too bad she wasn't preaching her birth control alternative to the elder Mr. Obama.A march of armed citizens??? ...but, but, but you can't do that. Think of the children.
I'm a bit out of my depth here (IANAL, etc., etc.) but I'd be a bit concerned thatGo google "flash mob" and proceed from there.
