PALMDALE \u2013 There was a large turnout for the Day of Resistance rally on Saturday, Feb. 23. Dozens of protesters showed up to show their support of the 2nd Amendment, waving American flags and signs. State Senator Steve Knight was the guest speaker, showing his support to the cause as well.<\/p>\n

\"2nd<\/a>\u201cThis is a different way America\u2019s going about things,\u201d said Knight. \u201cWe are actually looking at the law-abiding citizens and saying \u2018You are our target\u2019, instead of the people who are using guns irresponsibly.\u201d<\/p>\n

On 10th Street West near Rancho Vista Blvd, the rally was in a prime spot to gain attention by passing residents.<\/p>\n

There was a chorus of honks and shout outs throughout the entire rally, causing cheers from the local patriots.<\/p>\n

\"2nd<\/a>Some passed with opposing views and signs, as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am supporting this cause because I want to see a better America for my family and children,\u201d explained Kenneth L. of Lancaster. \u201cIf we don\u2019t stand up for our constitutional rights, then we have no say in the country\u2019s future. I want a say in my future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rally was held by the Littlerock Tea Party, a local group that organizes rallies around the Antelope Valley and holds meetings on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

\"2nd<\/a>\u201cEverybody has a voice,\u201d stated Dee Reilman, the event organizer. \u201cWe need to tell Congress that they cannot take away our 2nd Amendment rights!\u201d<\/p>\n

The rally was in conjunction with the national Day of Resistance movement. The movement focused on opposing\u00a0 the gun control bills coming into Congress. Similar rallies took place nationwide.<\/p>\n

According to Knight, around 13 anti-gun bills are in the pipeline for California.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease don\u2019t write me a letter. I\u2019m pretty good with guns,\u201d laughed Knight. \u201cYou can come to my house and see my guns, you can see me take my boys out shooting. We\u2019ve grown up with guns, we know what they are, and I was a cop for 18 years so I\u2019ve been around them for a little while.\u201d<\/p>\n
