PALMDALE – The Littlerock Tea Party is calling on all local patriots to attend a rally this Saturday to promote public awareness of constitutional rights.
“This is a peaceful rally for all Americans to protect and defend our 2nd Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. Bring your patriotism, a sign, flag and a chair…. Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with patriots who defend and protect our 2nd Amendment rights,” reads the invitation promoting the event.
The rally will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday (Feb. 23) on 10th Street West, just north of Rancho Vista Boulevard. (On the Applebee’s Restaurant corner, across the street from the A.V. Mall entrance).
State Senator Steve Knight will be joining the rally and speaking briefly about the 2nd Amendment, according to organizer Dee Reilman.
“We would like to put Congress on notice that ‘we the people’ are watching and will not allow government to continue to strip our constitutional rights,” states Reilman.
Saturday’s local rally is being held in conjunction with the national Day of Resistance, a grassroots movement marked by nationwide rallies on Feb. 23 that focus on 2nd Amendment issues and President Barack Obama’s push for gun control.
More than 50,000 people have already signed up for 97 rallies in more than 30 states across the country, according to published reports.

Tea Party? Really? So far all I’ve seen from that party is … pretty much nothing. We need less obstructionism in American politics today, so I encourage every voting aged adult to register Independent so we can get the extreme factions from the left and the right out of office.

Ar15 is not an assult rifle the military M16 is an assult rifle. using the bullet button on the ar15 is still dangerous to clear out the chamber. It was a unsafe idea in the first place that guy ine of the calif senator wanted to make the magazine unremovable is making a huge mistake making it unsafe to remove the magazine in a fae manner. try taking out each bullet out going into the chamber each time to eject one at a time and much extreame dangerous if a broken shell or a double feed takes place. would like to see the bullet button remive to back to safe removal of the magazine for safety and safe removal of ammo.

Selective Fire capability from Semi,Short Burst to Full Auto is a true Assault Weapon,along with other factors. A special permit is needed to own one of these. This iS NOT the average AR-15 so lets get this straight!I,m tired of hearing all these liberal and anti-gunners using the term “machine gun,assault weapon” to justify a ban. Sure these full autos are out there, but I can’t own one as an honest citizen! But hey, as a liberal,I cannot judge these mis-fits that commit all theses crimes! It’s easier to legislate firearms and ammo.

How many people have to die from handguns before we the people get the message? Vice President Biden is correct: get a shotgun to protect yourself in your home. Also, the NRA is right: allow rifles for hunting. Otherwise: ban handguns and start with the criminals. Start executing those 720 death row inmates in California prisons and pass a law that if you kill someone with a handgun…not in self-defense..you get the death penalty. Finally, do you really want to continue living the way it is now?
Les says
Joe Biden is right?! He said get a double barrel shotgun and fire a warning shot and that will scare the criminal away. One can hope but what do you do when it doesn’t? I may use the sound of my shotgun as a warning but I want my hand gun as back up if I fire through all my shotgun shells because the “warning” didn’t work. Criminals often travel in pairs, or more, I want to be sure to have the ability to fend if all that are an immediate threat to me or my family.
ps….IT’S NOT ABOUT HUNTING!
Otto says
Biden is correct??? Good one! When will anti-gun types realize that crooks will not line up to turn in their guns to comply with a ban. Only people who abide by the law will. When will these guys realize that guns are not the problem? The problem is with the breakdown of the American family and the American way of life. It’s a mental health problem…not a gun problem.

Fire two shots and your chamber is empty! While you’re fumbling to reload the criminals have kicked already kicked down your door, so go ahead and buy a double barrel shotgun like what the VP said.
dumbandblind says
Oooopppsss “kicked” was entered twice, sorry.
Raptorman says
Biden is an idiot and just by watching his ticks and involuntary blathering indicates brain damage. He said to shoot into the air to warn off is illegal in this and many other states.
Handguns do not kill, it is the work of PEOPLE. Here’s how it works; blacks mostly kill blacks, hispanics mostly kill hispanics and whites mostly kill whites. If there is a high murder rate in a community, they need to get introspective and stop blaming inanimate objects.

What the F$%^&*?
WHO IS REALLY PAYING FOR THIS AD?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN A “PEACEFUL RALLY?
IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE… THIS TYPE OF RALLY’S WILL ALWAYS BRING CONFRONTATIONS FROM THE OTHER GROUP (THE ONE AGAINST THE ARMS).
YOU GUYS ARE MENTALLY ILL?: THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS WAS GRANTED DURING THE REVOLUTION WAR SO CITIZENS CAN PROTECT FROM GREAT BRITAIN’S TROOPS BACK IN 1785. HELLOOOOOO!!!! THAT WAS 228 YEARS AGO……THIS IS CENTURY XXI,HELLO…
Democrat4life says
The right to bear arms also protects us from home invasion robberies under the Castle Doctrine. Have you ever been the victim of a home invasion robbery? I hope not and I hope you never have to go through one because it is a horrific thing. What saved my family and I from being bludgeoned to death with crowbars by the invaders was my ability to fire my gun and let them know I meant business.
I am a lifelong Democrat and I support the right of the law abiding public to bear arms. I will be there on Saturday with this group to exercise my other right to free speech and free assembly. I probably do not agree with this Tea Party group on most things but what I do agree with them on is that I do not support confiscation of guns from the law abiding public. Not now or ever!
Les says
Shall we just toss out the entire constitution because it was written so long ago and no longer applies? That constitution is/was the bases of our greatness. The fact that it is being disrespected by so many is the reason we’re headed in a downward spiral.
Look at other countries where citizens gave up their weapons because “their govt would take care of them”. How well did that turnout for them?
I should have the right to defend myself with the same weapons that criminals may use against me. Do you think they’ll turn in their semi auto rifles (they’re not assault weapons anymore than any other inanimate object that is used to commit a crime)after a ban?
How about their magazines that hold more than the rounds “allocated” by the govt? Yep, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that I may have only 7 rounds or 5 or even less while they have 10 or more.
These bans only hurt the law abiding gun owners.
SickDad says
And the revolution was fought for the freedom from a tyrannical government. Goodbye
