Hundreds gather for gun rights rally near Oregon State Capitol

Approximately 300 people gathered at The Oregon World War II Memorial near the Oregon State Capitol for a pro-second amendment rally Saturday morning, as part of a nationwide effort organized by The National Constitutional Coalition of Patriotic Americans.

The rally comes just weeks after the nationwide March for Our Lives protest, where students, teachers and community members took to the streets demanding stricter gun laws to combat gun violence. More than 3,000 people attended the Salem event on March 24.

“We join those of you who have marched and cried out for answers and solutions, we all want the same thing: no one to die at the hands of a bad person.” Kevin Conzo, the founder of Good Guys With Guns, Oregon, told the crowd.

Conzo was the first speaker of the day, and said the purpose of their grassroots organization is simple: "Good guys with guns stop the bad ones."

bad man with a gun, and these gun humpers would still want to carry. It's a lust, not a reason-based approach to life.
