On second thought this is right out of Alinsky’s playbook so it could be fake.

How do they expect to take guns from “our cold dead hands”? Shoot us? Stab us? Run over us with cars?

But the Teacher who was filmed “firing” a toy gun at the image of the President during the Inauguration, got a pass.

They'd better check both hands. We're two-fisted patriots.    winking face

That image is still up on Twitter - despite them getting their panties in a wad over this “threat” to Veruca Hogg...

They under the delusion that the military and law enforcement will do their bidding.

In reality, a good portion of those groups would be joining us in resistance.

This nation has a pretty long tradition of “burning in effigy” going back to the founding days. This is a form of that. Unless he said “and I’m going to do the same to Hogg for real!” then it’s not threatening, it’s symbolism. You can feel free to condemn the shooter and his message, even shun him (see Kathy Griffin) but he’s allowed to say it.

This will go both ways. In the event that corrupt tyrants take power in our country and try to violate the Constitution, there are people in uniform, both military and police, who would eagerly jump at the chance to be our own jackbooted thugs. There are also real Americans in uniform who will certainly take their oath seriously. It all comes down to numbers. Are there enough jackboots in uniform to defeat even 3% of real Americans? Freedom's enemies believe they have the numbers. Occasionally, when they succeed in a particularly evil abuse of power, I'm curious enough to want to know whether they are right. Usually I pray that none of us will never find out.

The shooter needs MORE range time.

>>It’s a stupid thing to do.

Literally EVERYTHING on social media is a stupid thing to do. We live in stupid times. Clever, subtle, calculated actions are not detectable in our present day Idiocracy. Welcome to the 21st Century.

>>So the message is that if we law abiding gun owners disagree with you we shoot you in the face?

You should google “burning in effigy”. What this guy did is not really new. People have done similar things long before Twitter.

Our side needs to grow a pair and stop behaving like spinster etiquette teachers.

It sends the wrong message and proves the point of the Hogg lovers, that gun people are violent. It was a really stupid thing to do.

I do stuff like that at the family farm where we have a private range. Nobody is dumb enough to take pictures of it.

Somehow that gets a pass.

Say something remotely bad or offensive about the wun, brace for impact.
