Recently, we've all seen the photos of the armed protestors on the steps of the state capitals. Are these guys delusional or what? Do these guys think they are in a movie?
This is real life. Who were they going to shoot? If they shot any counter protestors, that would be murder. If law enforcement had a reason to ask them to leave, they would have to comply. Were they going to engage in a full shootout with police on the grounds of a government building?
Now, this isn't a discussion about the second amendment. They can own guns. That's not the issue.
This alleged "show of force" is just theater being performed by people who think they are living in a Rambo movie.
Plus, there are a ton of other problematic issues that are clearly on display here.
Thoughts?
I’m sure the British thought the same of the colonials. A bunch of ragged farmers....
Those people that you refer to as delusional are simply exercising their right. Just like you are for forming and expressing a opinion of calling them delusional. That’s covered under those other amendments. They have as much right to express their opinion as you do.
You ever wonder why in a big riot situation cops pull back and don’t engage the rioters? Look up the LA riots when the Rodney King verdict came out. Cops would of gotten their azzes handed to them by the rioters

Lol. You’re not anti gun? Could of fooled me. Btw a shotgun can do a whole lot of damage in a very short time. And reloading them isn’t really hard. At all. You’re not only uninformed about what guns are capable of doing you’re lying to yourself and everyone on this board when you say you’re not anti gun. Really.....please stop with you’re not anti gun because you grew up in Nebraska and shot a quail on opener day. Your whole post reeks of anti gun drivel.
The 2nd amendment isn’t about hunting. It never was. See our forefathers were a bunch of really really smart dudes. Smarter than most people today. See.....they lived under tyranny. We as a nation have no clue what is like to live under tyrant. Please don’t say we do because Americans don’t. The current situation is about as close as we are to tyranny. Which is laughable to even compare the two.
There's also a huge difference between carrying a gun and shooting someone with it.
People lugging around their guns in public, especially these semi-automatics, do this to intimidate people and to show off. There was a story a few years back about some nut in suburban Atlanta walking around a park with an AR-15 with a bunch of kids playing baseball. The parents freaked out, stopped the game and left because some dumbazz wanted to play the big man. Just because you can carry a gun doesn't mean you have to be a jerk about it.

Banning semi-automatic weapons is not tyranny. What's wrong with you people? Are you that insecure that you have to carry around a loaded semi-automatic just to show that you can? you guys make this country look like some third world chithole.

Is that it? They didn't want to be disbursed? So they came armed to the teeth to keep our country's police from disbursing them? You would have kicked the "azzes" of the "cops"?
And again. Once again. You try to drag this conversation into pro/anti gun. Whatever anyone believes about guns, most, even in this thread (gun owners or not), think armed protesters are bizarre people. And that's the general consensus across this country (find your own links)
They didn't bring guns in place of placards. They brought guns to silence anyone who disagreed with them. They're bullies. They're compensating. And they couldn't debate on an intelligent level....thus, they toted guns to do this to the country:
Because they're incapable of ...well...anything but bullying.
Protest away....but put on your big boy pants and leave the guns at home so you don't threaten your neighbors. Yell your heads off, beat drums, blow horns. Just don't threaten to blow anyone away who disagrees with you. (That's the only reason for the presence of the weapons)
It's a cowards way. And all bullies are cowards.

The extreme antis and the extreme pros are all in the same loony toons basket together. Fortunately most of us are rational.
Common sense is illegal nowadays.

I think we (meaning the sane) can all agree that if groups of blacks were stomping around with missile launchers in front of state capitals, etc., the response would be entirely different.

AR-15's are actually a good thing. It's a great design that lends itself to a number of uses. They are great ranch rifles, especially for coyotes and feral hogs, they are very commonly used in competitive events, they can be made to be very accurate, on a par with a bolt action rifle, they are nearly indestructible, they are easy for small statured people to shoot, etc.

If someone carrying a gun makes wet yourself and a bunch of people freak out for absolutely no reason that’s not my problem. I guess I don’t wet myself because someone has a gun. Walking around with a gun isn’t illegal. Please stop with the theater.

Nope. They're saying don't mess with us....we'll kill you. They're censoring others by their threat.
Oh. Yeah. And the white supremacist pigs are slithering among them recruiting. Birds of a feather and all that.
That’s not what they’re saying. What they're saying is they are tired of the totalitarian government basically treating citizens like subjects. Maybe that’s something you’re ok with. I’m glad to see there are still enough people who are gonna say Nope we’re not ok with this.You do understand what a protest is right. People have been protesting things they feel we’re or are unjust by protesting.
So gun owners are all white supremacist racist pigs? I’m a gun owner. I’m also a immigrant and naturalized citizen and a minority. But I don’t cry about it or beat my chest screaming how unfair the world is nor am or ever have been a racist. Sad thing is I understand and cherish my rights more than you ever will.

What’s wrong with us people? Correct me if I’m wrong but weren’t you just proclaiming not to be anti gun? So...it’s now you people. Interesting how you went from us to you people. So basically your other post was full of bull poop. Typical I guess.
I’m really about as secure as possible. I don’t need a gun to feel more secure. Now my wife who couldn’t fight off a 12 year old....yeah no problem having her carry. In fact the only time I carry is if I’m hunting or on long trips. Otherwise I don’t carry a gun....but I’m not going to infringe on someone elses right to carry a gun if they want to carry one.
We make this country look like a chithoke. Really? Who are you kidding.

Oh please..why don’t you go back and read..I didn’t start the dance on anti gun argument. The bs post with I’m not a anti gun but here is my anti gun agenda with nobody needs a AR as the centerpiece of my argument. But.see...I’m one of you guys because I went hunting once. At least be truthful and say hey I’m against guns and AR15s specifically. At least at that point you’ll have my respect for standing up for your beliefs. Just like I’m standing up for mine. But don’t try to jerk me around give me some bs line I’m a gun owner too but I don’t believe you need a AR it’s only used for killing people. Which is a really stupid statement from a uninformed person.
But I guess it’s ok for gun owners to be called delusional, deranged, white supremacists, (I guess minorities owning guns is ok its only the white dudes who are racists). You need to stop wetting yourself because someone has a gun. Loaded or unloaded. They can carry a loaded gun all day long. They have the right to protest carrying it if they want to do so. That’s what the bill of rights is about. You’re probably too obtuse to understand anything past freedom of speech which to you translates to my beliefs and opinions are the only ones that matter
