I agree,

however,

I want this anti gun nut to answer questions that he/she suggested happened...

When you have to lie, to prove your point, make yourself look better, you are showing you willful ignorance to the real problem.

Not while we still have a Constitutional right to do so.

If every gun owner open carried in Portland, the schools wouldn't be able to shut down and get away with providing an education. They'd get used to it anyway.

This is a great example of how if you don't use your right, you begin to lose it. Every gun owner in an open carry state needs to open carry.

100% agreement, some of the sheeple on this forum are baffling that they lack the most basic of common sense and logic.

Some school in a rural area has been calling the police because of hearing distant gunshots. People are acres away on their own property target shooting or hunting and the police have to track them down. The police have decided people need to call them before they go out hunting or target practicing. I'm not sure they can enforce this.

I heard gunshots about a half hour ago. It's a semi rural area where it's legal to hunt. If I can hear it from my office, they can hear it at the jr high school nearby. I wonder, did they call the police.? No, because this area isn't paranoid unlike that other school, which is in a town of transplants from *other* places, all looking for the country life, but then they can't handle it.

Is anyone else tired of placating infantile overgrown children's gun fetishes?
What world do you live in? Rifles, in the USA, are used for three primary things: sport shooting, hunting, and collecting. The only reason they are being singled out is precisely because people don't know anything about them and are too lazy to look up the facts. Unless you happen to live in one of the poor neighborhoods that have gang problems your kid isn't likely to be shot by any gun, much less a rifle.

If they came to my property while I was target shooting because someone called the police I would swiftly show them the exit, not comply with any questions and tell them to educate the morons that wasted police power and created an unjust panic.

Several calls were made to 911 on Wednesday afternoon, with alarmed residents reporting two men with guns strapped to their backs walking through the area of Southeast Seventh Avenue and Spokane Street in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood.
When police arrived on the scene, they found two 22-year-old men carrying rifles openly on their backs. The two were also holding valid concealed handgun licenses in Oregon, according to Fox affiliate KPTV.
The men reportedly told officers that they were seeking to educate onlookers about their Second Amendment rights.

LOL, i dont think these idiots really know what they are doing. I mean, come on, what is the point of displaying these assault rifles?
Nothing but attention whores.
I call BULL.

Unless those weapons are fully automatic, they are NOT assault rifles.

Innocent people have died in mass shoot-outs by legal guns.
