What do you see in this photo? What's the guy holding?

Looks like it could be a microphone?

But I could certainly see how someone like her, without much experience or knowledge about guns might think it was a weapon.

Hard to tell what it might look like from the front.

Kind of amazing though that a couple like this with a house like that apparently doesn't have their own security cameras and footage....

Maybe that's still forthcoming?

To many people buy a firearm believing that alone is sufficient. By its mere presence it has some magical power. And that myth often gets perpetuated by politicians and even cops.

"Just show the gun" fire a warning shot, the sound of a slide racking deters 9 out of ten intruders" etc etc blah blah. Like Bidens famous (infamous) fire a shotgun in the air nonsense.

That sort of bilge results in unhappy endings and bad people gaining posession of a firearm.

Which is why they didn't shoot.

So that makes it a draw.

Apparently you have not seen the video of them entering the gate, which is intact. NO ONE denies it is a private (community) road, so quit saying otherwise it makes those who do look foolish.

Many are trying to twist it as if this group attacked the lawyers mansion, and they did not.

The homeowners over reacted and inflamed the situation. If that photo of a bent gate is real, it happened after this couple went crazy pointing their guns and yelling, because the video clearly shows a fully intact gate they walked in through.

Furthermore a proper wrought iron gate would NOT bend like in that photo, and it takes a special saw blade to even puncture it. Even a cheap one shouldn't fold like that.

I don't think the liberal media realizes that their attempt to frame these folks in a negative light did NOT work out.


More Americans need to see "the people" rising up and holding their ground.


Great footage out of New York of a lady doing just that with respect to protesters that wanted to tear down a statue of Teddy Roosevelt:

Fox News has done to many folks what they were afraid video games would do to our children.

If they attempt to march on my private property, I am ready to defend myself and my property. They would be advised to get right with God before trying something so brain dead.

I haven't seen a good photo yet,but he may have a Class 3 license and that is a select fire m16 with a spare stick in his back belt.
The16 can be had for around 15k if you find a legal seller. I know I have one.

AR style rifles come in a variety of calibers, .223/5.56 is just the most popular because the ammo is relatively light and inexpensive compared to other larger rifle calibers.
