The anti-rights crowd is resorting to their usual tactics of ginning up hatred and fear.
As you know, tonight will be another hearing on a loaded carry ban by the Corvallis City Council.
In an email to the council, one of the leaders of the anti-rights crowd included these comments:
“I have received a communication regarding the possible disturbances at the meeting when the open gun carriage ordinance will be discussed.”
“We’ve also talked to some city council members and they seem to prefer that we do not come and give the gun bullies a target for their abuse.”
“However, I do respect your council on this matter, being sensitive to your concerns about not making a potentially explosive situation worse”
He also said: “The council is not planning to vote on the ordinance on Monday night…”
Where he received that information is anyone’s guess.
The people who want to attack your rights are willing to stoop to anything. Thousands of gun owners have stood on the capitol steps with firearms and the one or two anti-gun protesters there were treated with courtesy.
No one was ever threatened. No one was intimidated. The State Police remarked that they had never seen the Capitol left so clean.
Their attempts at ginning up paranoia are disgraceful. We also know they are doubling down on their efforts to get anti-gun messages to the council members.
Please make every effort to be at this hearing tonight when the council convenes at 5.30 PM.
The hearing will be held at the Majestic Theater in Corvallis. Firearms possession is allowed.
Let’s fill that room.
If you cannot come, please contact the council.
