This liberal owns a gun.

I know liberals own guns, would it have made you feel better if I I said "anti gun liberals" instead like I normally do?

I had hoped militias would show up to face off against the militarized police.

Yes, it would. Stop painting liberals with a broad brush, and I'll stop calling you on it.

Yes, that would work better. Or maybe just say anti-gun people or crowd, because I know of a couple of conservatives that are not any more fond of guns than some liberals.

OK, and a complete bloodbath would have made you happy?

The new Missouri law justifies the use of deadly force when victims reasonably believe their lives to be in danger, and provides them immunity from civil and criminal action.
I would be curious to know if that would have applied at the Ferguson march when the officer pointed his gun at protestors and said he was going to kill them. lol I'm guessing that would be a "no"

You're right, I doubt it would fly there.

On a good note, I'm glad to see the rally in TX went off without any issues. Good for them!

Just see if this event gets the same amount of news coverage in the MSM as the open carriers in chipotle or target a few months ago and it will tell you if I am right or wrong.
Well it got on the news here, no one seem to take real issue with it and they are supposed to do so again today. Personally while I agree with them doing so as their right and do not care one way or the other, as with other groups that have also done it here, I also believe it does more harm in the support of gun rights than good, to me it paints the wrong picture and sends the wrong message to many.
