I discovered today that the group Guns Across America sponsored a nationwide State capitol protest scheduled for high noon today on Sunday, Jan 19th, 2014.
I heard about a similar activity last year and was part of a couple thousand strong group in as I remember 20 degree F and windy conditions. I also saw several posts form others about the activities in various States. This year I never heard a word about it at all until someone on another state level gun rights forum I participate in posted about it 4 hours or so AFTER it was scheduled to occur. That poster also had heard noting about this years activity.
Going to the group's FB page for UTAH I see about 20 pics of about 10-15 persons (being generous on the numbers) at the Utah State Capitol.
I don't know if this groups purpose is to make us "gun nuts" look extreme fringe or not but by this years apparent lack of advertising at least in Utah, it may be the end result.
Doing a search for the groups name on this forum resulted in a few entries for LAST year (2013) but NOTHING on this forum for this year---- not a singe comment from anyone.
Was ANYONE on OCDO aware of this action for today, anyone at all?
