    Jeff Hulbert of PATRIOT PICKET reports for “THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS” (TTAG) national 2A website about our successful pro-2A demonstration in Arlington Sunday night at Bloomberg’s NoVa campaign headquarters.

    Click here to read the full TTAG story and the rapidly accumulating comments:

    I guarantee you will enjoy this account, which is going viral because it a true morale boost, not just to individual gun-owners locally, but to gun organizations across the nation.

    There are 14 high-res photos of our demonstration, and a half-dozen videos that really capture the sights and sounds of this event.

    As you will see in the TTAG story linked above, PATRIOT PICKET joined forces with the VIRGINIA CITIZENS DEFENSE LEAGUE and members of ARFCOM to create this demonstration.

    TOGETHER we hijacked this Bloomberg campaign event and turned it into a YUGE news media story about violations of our Second Amendment rights and our opposition to these racist bigots invading our legislatures to ram through their anti-American legislative fever dreams.

    Instead of being an unchallenged Democrat ”news” fluff job for Bloomberg & Bigots, our Patriots showed up and demonstrated for the Second Amendment on camera.

    Our opposition to Bloomberg in particular, and to this anti-gun owner bigotry generally, became the news media story.

    PATRIOT PICKET cannot thank all of its own members, as well as the members from Maryland Shooters, VCDL, ARFCOM and others for showing up first in Richmond, then in Arlington where our demonstration became a national 2A news story.

    In Richmond. There is a lot of secret service here. I believe Bloomberg will be arriving. fred55

    They must be hired help. I don't think he is entitled to SS protection.

    Great job out there, many thanks to all that went out! For what it’s worth and as an FYI for future events like this, those are hired thugs, not USSS. Typically the DHS secretary can designate “major presidential and VP candidates” within 120 days of the general election, who can receive USSS protection if they request it. Obama was an exception based on the number of threats he had received.

    In addition to Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and singing the National Anthem, one of the most moving moments was everyone in our demonstration taking a knee in memory of our lost U.S. Military Service Veterans, and then remaining there while the active Service members and retired Veterans were invited to be saluted by rising to their feet, while the rest remained kneeling, rising to well-deserved thanks and applause:

    Sometimes a bullhorn helped to “speak” to the anti-gun owner bigots huddled together in the Bloomberg ant farm indoors; sometimes a bullhorn wasn’t needed outdoors when they emerged to argue that we should live enslaved in their dystopian DemocRat Hell:

    The variety of signs, both commercially printed and home-made, was inspiring:

    We were honored to be joined in our sign-waving by former Virginia State Delegate Bob Marshall and his wife Catherine Ann Fonseca.

    Bob is one of the most courageous and forward-thinking conservatives to ever serve in the Virginia General Assembly; he is now a published conservative author and popular speaker.

    Interestingly, there is a Maryland connection: Bob was born in Takoma Park, MD and received his early college education at Montgomery College:

    Just so people know what we are dealing with here, inside the "ant farm" as another poster referred to the campaign HQ location...

    There wasn't one UNITED STATES flag flying ANYWHERE.

    Honestly they had their kids art on the walls instead. Or maybe it was their art during so called adult "play time", or "safe space" activity...

    These people are NOT Americans. They are useful idiots, who feel their country is broken. When in fact THEY are broken. And probably suffering from lead poisoning. That is the ONLY explanation I can come up with.....

    The Patriot Picket will be joining VCDL and MDS patriots unwelcoming the pint sized wannabe tyrant Mike Bloomberg when he brings his Virginia Democrat legislator payoff tour just across the river in Arlington, VA tomorrow evening.

    This one is simple, just show up and hold a freedom sign or a flag and let him know that his tyranny is unwelcome in the Old Dominion and that he can take that crap back to NY with him.

    Location: 1301 S Joyce St Arlington, VA This is a shopping center right off 395 and Pentagon Row. Plenty of parking.

    Time: 6 - 8pm Come early, stay late or come early and leave early, anything you can do helps.

    Weather Forecast: 48 and partly sunny Not bad for early February. H/t Al Gore for the global warming.

    We've had this sign in the arsenal for many years but didn't think we would ever be able to let him see it in person.

    He (Bloomingidiot) is the epitome of a "Little Sawed-off Prick". A typical yankee Jackass.

    If you don't have a MD or DC carry permit transport per FOPA and you will be fine. Kit up in your vehicle wherever you park.

    The venue appears to be retail shops and a gym, it's in the Pentagon Row shopping center, regardless we are going to be assembling on the public sidewalk so OC is definitely "not disapproved". ;)

    Has anyone thought about watching out for lefties taking down tag numbers?

    This article explains what Lil’ Bloomterd’s “campaign” is up to all day on Sunday - - evidently his campaign “surrogates” (not Bloomberg) will be traveling on his “bus tour” beginning in the morning in Hampton Roads, then make a “campaign” stop in Richmond, then by 6 PM they will be at his deep fake “campaign” office in Arlington.

    Continuing to search for more info on this.

    :tdown:

    They are lemmings and can't do anything "original". I remember when it was "I LIKE IKE". They've even plagiarized that, now. "What morons these leftists be", to quote William Shakespeare.

    We parked @ costco and one did OC all the way there. There were a few noticed looks for sure but even in super liberal Arlington it didnt set the stampede off. The police seemed to be more uppity about it all than anyone else :rolleyes:

    Actually , the Arlington PD was a non- issue , both the designated liaison Ofc , and random Ofcs afterwards .


    The opposition tracking license plates might hypothetically be a thing in other venues , but here parking was done individually at scattered locations over a several block crowded area .
