What is the Second Amendment March?

Second Amendment March is a grass-roots organization that is pulling together Second Amendment supporters across the United States for a peaceful march in Washington, D.C, our nation's capital. We welcome ANYONE who supports the right to keep and bear arms, regardless of political leanings, gender, race, religion, etc. We also welcome both gun owners and non-gun owners alike! We have many supporters who have never owned -- and may never own -- a firearm, but they strongly believe in the Constitution and the importance of preserving the Second Amendment as our founding fathers intended.

 

When and where is the march?

We are recruiting state coordinators to organize local marches in each state, which will be held prior to the national march in Washington, D.C.

The national march will be held in Washington, D.C. on April 19, 2010 on the grounds of the Washington Monument. It is scheduled to run from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

 

Why Spring 2010? Why wait so long?

Good question. Actually, none of that time will be spent waiting. All of it will be spent furiously getting ready for the event. There are thousands of things to organize. We need permits, money, people, printers, photographers, writers, media consultants, videographers, etc., and the list goes on and on. An event of this magnitude will take this long to do it right. The mainstream media and the anti-gun culture will be wanting us to fail. If we do this, we take our time, and we do it right. All Second Amendment organizations, individuals, and the firearm industries must be brought on board for it to work. This will take a long time.

 

Are there any events/marches/meetings taking place in my area?

Each state coordinator is responsible for updating Second Amendment March activities in their state on both our map (on the home page) and our event calendar. If there are no events listed in your state it is very likely that we do not yet have a state coordinator in your state. Please consider volunteering for that role!

If you would like to coordinate a Town Hall Meeting in your area, please contact us via our contact form.

 

I've heard rumors that Ted Nugent will be there to speak. Is this true?

There is no formal contract or agreement signed with Mr. Nugent.

 

What can individuals do to help?

There are many things individuals can do to help make this a success. First, keep a positive attitude and help us spread the word to everyone you know. Help us lobby pro-gun groups and the firearm industry to climb aboard and help us out. Sign on to internet talk forums and get people talking. Register here on our site as a supporter. You can donate money to the cause. You can register your pro-Second Amendment group as a supporter right here on our site. Volunteer to help with marketing and promotions right here on this site. Watch our website for more info on how to help. Current volunteer opportunities are frequently listed in our free online forum.

 

Have you contacted Glenn Beck (Shawn Hannity, Senators, Representatives, etc.)?

Yes. We have emailed Glenn Beck and others, and several of our supporters have done the same. To garner support for Second Amendment March, it is essential that supporters such as yourself take up the cause and join us in writing/calling as many legislators and media personalities as possible.

 

You should have a facebook page, Twitter account, etc.

What if I don't want to donate online? Is there any other means to donate?

Yes, please mail checks to: 

 

Will people be carrying guns?

Because it is the right of all people to keep and bear arms, we fully
support the peaceful carrying of firearms where allowed by law. However,
because Washington DC's overly oppressive laws prohibit carrying firearms in
public, We cannot promote or condone carrying firearms on the main march in
Washington DC. However, if not prohibited by law at any of our satellite
marches, we fully support the peaceful carrying of arms.

 

Won't the mainstream media just give us negative press?

Perhaps, but that's not why we're doing this. If pro-Second Amendment supporters waited to protest until the media approved of us, then we may as well stay home and turn in our firearms now. Some media will report the truth while others will not. Our job is to show up.

 

I can't travel all the way to DC. Is there another way I can be a part?

Absolutely! Satellite marches and rallies will be planned and scheduled all across the nation in state capitols and in other cities. If two farmers and a herd of cows want to register a march with us, then so be it. This isn't just for those who have the means to travel, but for hard-working Americans everywhere. If you wish to sponsor a march in your hometown, please register here on the site.

 

Will the Federal Government really allow us to do this?

Yes, provided we follow all rules, procedures and laws of the venue's jurisdiction. We are gathering a team of promoters and lawyers to help us do this legally. You can attend without fear of retribution from the government. This is still "America" not "Amerika".
