Thousands of Patriots Storm RI State House

Video from March 6, 2018 gathering of pro-gunners at the Rhode Island State House.

Thousands of Patriots Storm RI State House To Fight Draconian Gun Control Bills
March 6th, 2018 about 4 thousands Rhode Islanders invaded the Rhode Island State House
to oppose a long list of tyrannical gun control measures that would turn the law abiding citizen into a criminal over night.
Rhode Islanders on every poll showed that over 70% of it's people do NOT want more gun laws.
The Citizens of Rhode Island are fed up and are standing up to take action to protect our 2nd Amendment.
Lead by the Rhode Island 2nd Amendment Coalition
Note how many yellow shirts there are compared to the red shirts (Moms Demand Action).
The lady shown at time tick 4:40 refused to show her driver's license to the Rhode Islanders near her so they assume she was from out of state and paid by Bloomberg.
A valid assumption IMHO.

Also watch the mother testify at the RI Senate Committee meeting on that same day.

OBTW --- I think all gun control bills were tabled. Thus killing them for the year.

A little perspective:
RI population 1,061,712
OH population 11,694,664

4,000 people showed up at the RI State House.
Can you imagine the reaction if 44,000 pro-gunners showed up at the Ohio State House????

Of course, RI is so small that 1,032,957 can walk or ride their bike to the statehouse on their lunch hour...

Most Patriots have jobs and other family commitments.
The ban gun group relies on students and jobless.

Close. From the farthest southwest point in the state to the capital is about 49 miles. Mostly on I95 with an estimated travel time of 71 minutes.

How did they get 4000 to show?

Some, now I'm guessing here please here me out, :P some gave up a day's pay, or perhaps skipped the weekly coffee meeting.
Figured they could do without that one ball game this year.
4000? Someone probably missed the fav TV episode. Had to stop half way, add oil to the ol' family minivan.

Etc.

And, it worked :!: Their real life sacrifices of treasure & time yielded scared legislators running for the hills (pulled the bills).
