If I saw something like that from my window, I'd discreetly get my rifle and put those individuals in my view. If they misbehaved in any fashion with their firearms, I'd be ready. If you choose to make yourself a target, you will be targeted. Simple as that.
"If I saw some crazy guy in a window with a rifle, I'd..."
See how that works?
So you're saying that it's NOT ok for people to walk down the street with a rifle slung on their backs, not breaking a single law or making any threatening moves, but you pointing a loaded gun at them from a sniper position IS ok?
I think you need to reconsider your position on this issue. Either that, or give up your gun(s). Someone who is so CLEARLY bent on killing people should NOT be armed!
ETA: You know, if I saw someone in a sniper position, pointing a rifle at someone who wasn't breaking the law, I would have no choice but to presume that you were posing an imminent threat of death or great bodily injury to the citizen you were aiming at. Think about that...
Because i dont know that they are 2 law abiding citizens just walking down the street overtly exercising their 2nd amendment rights and i aint going to bet my life on that assumption.
therefore =.911...two guys walking down the street with semi automatic rifles strapped to their backs..
Do you call 911 every time you see something scary? Do you call 911 when you see someone driving whilst yapping on a cell phone? Do you call 911 everytime you pee your panties?
Damn straight. I have the right to free speech, but if I exercise it with a megaphone at 3 AM, people get all up in my grill. What's up with that?
Poor analogy because that's a public nuisance and just because some people are afraid of guns is not being a public nuisance. If they were shooting them 3AM you'd have a good comparison.
"If I saw some crazy guy in a window with a rifle, I'd..."
Sure, if you saw something like that, it would indeed be alarming. That's why it would be concealed. Out of sight, out of mind. If you don't want to be targeted by people like me, then don't make yourself a target by strutting around with a rifle on your back inside of a crowded city. If you choose to do so, expect to be watched, expect to be tracked, and expect to not receive the benefit of the doubt when it comes to anything that might be interpreted as an attempt to get your weapon ready to fire.
Isn't it interesting that the people who called 911 about two men carrying firearms summoned ... wait for it it ... men and women who were carrying firearms.
Either way, you know exactly what I was talking about but you pulled a typical lefty and dodged the real statement.
Actually, no massacres committed with assault weapons either. Assault rifles are difficult for the average American to obtain, since they were included in the first attack on our 2nd Amendment back in the 1930's. The firearm that was allegedly used at Sandy Hook was a semi-automatic rifle, nothing more and nothing less. The gentlemen in Portland were carrying semi-automatic rifles, nothing more, nothing less. The term "assault weapon" is a made up term that was intended to make people fear a certain type of firearm that is actually no more deadly (and in most cases less deadly) than the average deer rifle.
America has a image problem. For example, this is what you should see in front of every school in America. When you see this the image should convey calm as you know the person can shoot better with less chance of stray rounds and that the community is ready to deal with modern day assassins. However, with many this image draws concern and fear. Which is the wrong response. No doubt due to the media.

OK, again, technicality. Depends on what definition you are using.
For most of the gun talks/politics, assault weapons are semi auto rifles with certain features such as folding stock or pistol grip.
For most of the gun talks/politics, assault rifles are military full or burst mode selective fire.
For most of the gun talks/politics, rifles are just rifles unless certain features exist which make them one of the above.
So, get back to the subject again.
