You PREACH it, Brother. Some folks need to hear it (though they are probably wetting themselves, just thinking about actually ACTING and being free!)...
Only because firearms have been demonized. No one says that about the Glocks riding on the hips of the security and law enforcement types at these gatherings.
It hasn't been so very long that those who lived in Switzerland showed up at the polls with their weapons, or they didn't get to vote. After the voting they would have a shoot. That goes back to the days of William Tell. The same thing was often done in colonial and post colonial America.
You're right, I can't.
This can't be said enough. Make them cry!
I wouldn't count on that were I him.
Us: guns that wouldn't measure up to the DEA
Perhaps, although if they have 3 round burst M-16s, they'd aren't all that much ahead. Meanwhile there are way, way more of us. Numbers count.
Really?
Really?
I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to Barry, but unlike you, very little of my day to day existence depends on him. "Issane poeple" could kill him, and a couple dozen of his successors, and I doubt I'd notice unless I broke my very successful TV news moratorium.
In fact, probably the only way I'd ever know is by reading you cry about it on FR.
Now you're talking, sister!
Or more recently, Squeaky Fromme and Sara Jane Moore, of the Manson "family" and the Symbionese Liberation Army, respectively.
Just because your courage has very obvious limits, leave the rest of us alone. Or are you afraid you'd shoot the president. At least honest liberals own up to that, that they can't control themselves.

Or are you saying Obama would nuke the US?
Either one sounds pretty damn retarded.
I wonder if I went to DU and registered under "Lazy-ass Homo Lover," would I be more readily accepted?
How about "Godless Babykiller?"
I can think of a lot of bad things I'd want to happen to him, but they do not involve physical force. Except maybe the US Marshall or the Marines, dragging his ash out of the White House after it's proven in a Court of Law that he is not eligible to the office he occupies.
Even at DU you need a bit more subtlety. Maybe "Transsexual Mujaheddin".
You two owe me a new monitor and keyboard... I hadda laugh so hard I spewed snot all over them and I DON’T wanna hafta be the one to clean them up... so either pony up for new ones or get over here with your cleaning gear!
Good luck in your DU spelunking. ;)
I stopped worrying about what a liberal thinks and having to be PC a long time ago.
If anything it shows the world that a person that is responsible can carry a gun anywhere and there should be no big deal about it.
Wow, beautifully put, thank you, I agree.
Read my post again: If the circumstances do not warrant carrying a weapon, open-carry is just a massage for your ego... particularly when it comes to a peaceful demonstration where hundreds of people are present.
Open-carry defeats the purpose of carrying a weapon in a largely peaceful urban environment; namely, the element of surprise if a confrontation arises. If you’re openly carrying your rifle or pistol when the bank robbery or classroom shooting goes down, you’re just going to be the first person who takes one in the chest.
Every example you offer differs from 2A in one giant, glaring respect; they do not have the guaranteed potential for taking human life, and they do not have tens of millions of armed, frustrated citizens ready to defend that right. Our legislators, and our enemies, are well aware of what firearms are designed to do.
Please let me know how the right to own a weapon will “soon vanish” if we restrain ourselves from open-carry.
You are correct in one respect; the current administration, democrats and RINOs, are a direct, barely adulterated threat to our Constitution. Thank you for your service to this country.
