Looks like the open carry people surrounded the moms in the restaurant, I am sure their message of threatening people advocating sensible gun laws will only help to make their case.
If you open-carry your rifle in a parking lot just to make a point, you're a bit of an attention-whoring idiot. You're within your rights, I am sure, but you're still an idiot.
I am within my rights to carry a logging axe (Gransfors Bruks felling axe, finest drop-forged Swedish steel, razor-like edge, 35" hickory handle, such a beauty) back and forth in front of a pre-school playground, but I don't. Because I don't feel the need to tell the world at large that I am an axe enthusiast at the cost of their feeling safe for themselves and their kids.
(OK, so I am not an axe enthusiast. The point stands.)
Opinions are like as holes. Every body has one and the last I checked NOTHING they did was unlawful.
I'd bet there are many who would call you an idiot.
Moms Against Gun Violence want to use their paranioa over inanimate objects be the justification for trampling the rights and freedoms of millions of people in this country. Is that ever right?
Imagine if they were scared of black people and promoted that they be locked up to make the society safer. Unjustfied? Morally wrong? Let alone unconstitutional? An unfair attack on an entire group of people, just because a small minority are violent? Sure, and all over their bias and paranoia. No different than MAGV.
Would you be complaining if the NAACP protested outside a KKK or Aryan Nations meeting? I'm sure they would be seen as intimidating.
Im sorry but "posing for a picture" doesn't cut it when the underlying intent was intimidation.
Seriously. yes its within their rights to open carry-a right I support....but THEY'RE NOT HELPING.
Things like this damage the right to open carry, it turns it from a discussion of "hey its our right under our constitution" into "Look at those folks intentionally scaring those poor old women"
You are right. They were there to intimidate and used the photos to cover their butts.
OK gun lover I'm just making it up they were just happened to be there, many news outlets reported the fact that this group drove up in vehicles and remained outside the restaurant, you want to believe that is a coincidence be my guest.
I can see how the women were intimidated by a group carrying a massive amount of firepower and standing around and loitering. I sure as hell wouldn't want to walk out in that parking lot.
I wonder how those "gun advocates" would feel if a large group of black men wearing hoodies practiced their open carry rights outside of a gun advocate meeting.

This prompted about 40 white fat or underdeveloped males to bring their penis substitutes to the restaurant parking lot to wait for these four very dangerous moms.
