Following a rally in Portland on Aug. 4, Patriot Prayer, a conservative group led by Joey Gibson, is heading to Seattle for a rally downtown Saturday.
Patriot Prayer is calling the rally "Liberty or Death – Rally Against Left Wing Violence." It is set to begin at Seattle City Hall at 1 p.m., according to the Facebook page.
The rally appears to be in response to Initiative 1639, a proposed ballot measure that would enact a string of gun regulations including raising the age to purchase semi-automatic rifles to 21 and creating standards for secure gun storage.
On the Facebook event page, Patriot Prayer group posted:
We the people have had enough. Our rights have been trampled for over 220 years. Washington State no longer listens to the people. <br/> <br/> We are the People! We are no longer the "silent majority," we are awakened and we are LOUD! <br/> <br/> I-1639 is an illegal and unconstitutional initiative. We WILL NOT stand for it.<br/> <br/> WE THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
