What is "realistic gun law reform"? Hopefully they mean reforms as allowing concealed carry.

Thanks EL1227 for another slam-bang video production! It's a way to see pictures that I posted up over several pages all in one place.
And the on/screen graphic narration really helps late-comers to the thread get up to speed. Thanks Ed!

Like you said ... Force Multiplier
Pictures, words, and music tell the story in 2 minutes or less for the ADHD-inclined.
As you note, even here on MDS, it's hard to gauge what transpired when there is so much 'chatter' ... not that it's bad, but it is distracting. You and I seem to be on the same wave-length on what to convey, and I'm always open to suggestions and ideas. The more pictures that are taken and posted make telling the story even easier. Then along with some 'after-action' reports interspersed with other video, like was done for the NRA protest, makes it a slam dunk.
'Telling a story' also applies to posting the video links on social media. It's a way to cut through the 'chatter', entertain, and get our message across.
So ... POST AWAY !!!

Do we need to get a permit?

ONLY if more than groups of 20. So if our 2A Patriots are less than that, no problem. If Pink Pistols are less than that, no problem. We just can't 'mingle' in the same general area. We also can't go into 'permiited' areas.
If we get a permit, we'll be pushed off to an area further from 'the main event'.
R&R has much more detail on the RoE, but this is a good synopsis.
New signs needed?
"Dems want truck-free school zones"
Dems want common sense truck-control laws.
Sorry couldn't resist.

Next time I plan on covertly placing my Sony Action Cam focused on us to document the interactions as evidence when they make false accusations. Also for B roll.

Need at least one sign that points out new gun laws won't stop trucks.
I thought this would be a good place and time to post a response I got from Andy Harris that I received just the other day.

Dear Mr. L,
Thank you for contacting me in support of Second Amendment rights as gun control advocates seek to pass new legislation following the shooting that happened in Orlando, Florida. I remain committed to working together to prevent these types of tragedies and to ensure the safety of Marylanders. As a strong supporter of our Second Amendment rights, I believe this must be done by addressing mental health issues, prosecuting criminals, and fighting radical Islamic terrorism.
It is clear the shooter in Orlando was inspired by ISIS. In the transcripts of phone conversations the assailant had with police during the incident, now released by the FBI, he referred to himself as an Islamic soldier and pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State. Inspiring and recruiting terrorists in America is one of the most difficult threats that ISIS presents to the United States, and their success abroad increases the risk of their success here at home.
Unfortunately, the administration’s foreign policy regarding ISIS in Syria has been a failure. The reluctance to provide American leadership in the region provided a vacuum that has allowed ISIS to grow. ISIS is continuing its murderous and brutally oppressive campaign. The Syrian conflict has created a fertile recruiting ground for Islamic extremists and terrorists. There remains a risk that these extremists could enter the United States through refugee programs and continue their fight on American soil. However, as the events in Orlando, Florida and San Bernardino, California have demonstrated, the threat of radical Islamic terrorists recruited in the United States is real, and deadly.
Everyone wants to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists, but it must be done in a way that complies with the U.S. Constitution. In addition, we must realize gun control will neither stop terrorism nor defeat ISIS. Some current proposals seek to prohibit gun sales to people on the “terrorist watch list” or the “no-fly list.” However, these lists are not defined in law, and do not allow “due process” rights to those Americans mistakenly on this list. The lists indeed often wrongly include people. Even Senator Ted Kennedy was included on a no-fly list. In fact, 800,000 people are included in the terrorist watch list and 47,000 are on the no-fly list. Only a review by government agencies is available for those seeking removal - there is no review or hearing before a neutral judge. These lists may help prioritize counter-terrorism activities, but even if gun purchases were banned for everyone listed, both the attacks in Orlando and San Bernardino would have occurred unimpeded. The Orlando terrorist had been investigated and removed from the watch list by the FBI, and the terrorists in San Bernardino obtained rifles through a third person “straw” purchase.
As a physician, I feel strongly that mental health care reform also needs to be a part of the gun violence discussion. While it is important to remember that those with mental illnesses rarely commit acts of violence, we need to make sure children and young adults with mental illness are diagnosed and have access to proper care in order to help them cope with their condition. Studies show that more than 10% of children in the United States may benefit from some sort of mental health treatment, but most do not receive help. There is a shortage of resources and services available to serve those that need mental health care support. On July 6, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed, with my vote in support, H.R. 2646 the “Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act of 2016.” The bill would expand coverage of mental health services under Medicaid, among other provisions. The bill is now pending consideration in the U.S. Senate.
We must also enforce gun control laws that protect people from danger, such as preventing gun ownership by criminals or those suffering from severe psychiatric disorders. With over 4,450 laws related to guns on the federal law books, many of which were broken in recent tragedies, our attention should be focused on enforcing the already numerous gun laws and restrictions, devoting much needed attention to mental health care reform, while fighting ISIS and their recruitment of radical Islamic terrorists in the United States.
As Congress addresses the many challenges facing our nation, I hope you will continue to share your suggestions. For the fastest and most cost-effective response, please contact me via email.

Thank you chilipeppermaniac for Andy Harris' reply letter.
I don't think I have ever seen a lengthier or more complete response to a constituent question.
