> 2. I am not giving the govt money to fix the law. It looked like shit before we even stepped foot on it that day. Second, at least 50% of that estimated 60K to fix it is bullshit at best. I mentioned in other forums that you could go down to tractor supply and spend $500 on a pallet of grass seed and get a couple dozen people to rake/hoe and seed that lawn back to green in no time flat. Sodding the damn thing is utter bullshit.

> I WOULD go down and join a crew of my fellow gun owners and fix the place along side them, but I will not give the govt money to do so themselves. We pay for that lawn. It’s my fucking lawn as much as it’s your lawn. It’s called tax payer owned…

#1 is such a closed, strong statement the just isnt true and you contridict yourself with your closing arguement. The ones that were there reporting, did they spin it negativly that day or the day later then it was published? If no, I would tend to think something with MORE heart like volenteering to fix our “mistake” (how the opposition is focusing this) they would jump on the story to publish it. Also, if nothing will bring attention to the media in our favor why are you donating your time and materials to help fix it?

When was the last time people in this shithole city volinteered their time, labor and materials to anything like reseeding the lawn? I cant think of an example myself. I just find it hard to believe that a good story like this could be people think wont hit the media in our favor.
