Well... for information purposes. Back during FED UP I and FED UP II, when gun owners really didn't know what registration and the like meant, we had bus loads of people. Now that Canadian Gun Owners KNOW what is really up, a FED UP III should draw 100 times the number of gun owners the other two rallies did. If there is a FED UP III and a gun owner from Calgary or New Brunswick doesn't take the time and money to show up, they really should turn their guns in or give them to those that will stand up for the right to keep them. Owning a gun is not just a passive thing like owning a pair of shoes or a baseball glove.
I'm just a lowly peasant too. Here in the real world, given a choice between having my property stolen or defending it regardless of consequence, the choice is easy. What kind of example would I be setting for the children if one was to allow themselves (dare I say welcome it) to become a victim of state sanctioned crime. People in our families died to protect our rights and ways of life, to give in and give up is a slap in the face to any and all veterans and those that paid the ultimate price.
