Are any of these pics from outside of a polling place? There's one person in front of a campaign office, not a polling place, there's 2 people in the middle of nowhere in the snow, and the others look to be at some kind of rally showing that they support the 2nd Amendment.

So, again, are any of these pics outside of a polling place?

Is the OP's pic outside of a polling place? The article does not say so. it looks like they're just standing on a sidewalk in a commercial/retail area.

Standing in front of your opponent's campaign HQ with a gun sure seems to be pretty intimidating if you ask me.

If it ain't at a polling place, it ain't illegal.

However, it would be really fun to see Abrams try to confiscate those weapons!!!

The first image where they are standing on the sidewalk in front of a Dollar Store, no, it doesn't look like a polling place, and in that instance, I don't see any problem with what they are doing.

The second and third image which appear to be from the same location (meaning the 2 photos are in the same location, not that they are the same as the first photo), can't tell. So we'll say it's not.

The fourth image states that they are at an Atlanta poll - if that is true, then it's not okay.

So, you have one image of a Trump supporter at a campaign office, not at a poll, and one image of the Black Panthers reported to be at a polling place.

I agree with you on the first 3 images - if those aren't at a polling place, who cares. But the 4th one? Nope. I wouldn't accept it if it were Trump supporters doing the same. Do not intimidate voters at polling places no matter what candidate you support.

You edited your post while I was replying to you:

In answer to your last statement, I don't see that as threatening because it's holstered, not out and in his hands. However, I agree that some people do, and I would have to know the story on why he was there in the first place. If he was protesting against someone who is against the 2nd Amendment, then his gun makes sense, as an example.

This is a facile piece of crap statement, even for you.


Who's the racist here? Who is the person that interjected race into this topic? It certainly wasn't me.

Guns are fine if they're in the hands of DIM thugs or those protecting leftist celebrities.

Also as expected, the media complained only that their actions "riled the right". Apparently the liberals were fine with it.

I suspect Sessions will treat them differently than did Holder. After all they were "his people".

Now apparently they have decided the clubs and knives aren't threatening enough.

They certainly have the right to keep and bear arms.

Do they have the right to try to threaten and intimidate people?

If I saw a bunch of guys holding guns no matter what color, I'd be walking the other way.
