FAIRFAX, Va., June 21 (UPI) -- About 20 protesters were arrested Tuesday morning after an all-night vigil outside the National Rifle Association's Virginia headquarters.

The arrests came after an overnight demonstration attended by about 100 people outside the Fairfax, Va., headquarters of the NRA. The group said they were there in mourning for the Orlando, Fla., shooting victims.

Those arrested sprawled on the pavement, surrounded by chalk lines indicative of dead bodies, as a tribute to the 49 shooting deaths last week at an Orlando nightspot. Other protesters held signs and used red paint to indicate blood.

The action was sponsored by Code Pink, a group known for its anti-war stance, and a coalition of social justice groups.

An NRA member did not do the shooting, a killer moslem did. The moslem even dialed 911 to make sure everyone understood his motivation.

Wrong building code pinko nutjobs

Shouldn’t they be protesting in front of a mosque?

It's a shame.
Although they are clinically insane, they are not quite suicidal.

“I wonder if she has the guts to try it herself, or if she plans to hire government goons to do the job.”

Those government goons will go into action ONLY if legislation is passed & signed into law establishing a national gun registry, and additional legislation passed making certain types of weapons illegal to possess.

Diane Feinstein’s been trying to achieve that for decades and has failed miserably.

And since we don’t have elected dictatorship like they do in Australia and Britain, where the prime minister’s will becomes law with the stroke of a pen and his majority in Parliament, it further still ain’t gonna happen.

Medea Benjamin is expressing her frustration and inability to change anything. That’s all, a mass tantrum and nothing more.

Except...did you notice Code Pink planned to disband the protest before 9:00 a.m. when NRA employees would start arriving? I wonder what they were afraid of?

***”We are not trying to take away people’s hunting rifles...”***

Now where have I heard that before. Oh yes.

Anyone who has kept up with the scheming of the anti-gun movement will realize that for the last fifty three years they have wanted to ban the private possession of every type firearm that was used in a high profile crime.

1963-John Kennedy 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles.
1966- Texas Tower shooter Whitman-bolt action hunting rifle and M1 carbine.
1968-MLK, pump hunting rifle.
1968-Bobby Kennedy -small revolver.
1972-George wallace -Small revolver.
1973-Mark Essex-Ruger .44 Mag Deerslayer rifle.
1975 Gerald Ford almost shot- US Army .45

And this is just in the 1960s and ‘70s.
All were followed by various groups claiming if THAT particular firearm had been banned the shooting would not have happened.
So it is today.

Simple solution to Code Pink “die-in “ a fully loaded muckmaster 2000 (manure spreader) followed by the sprinklers.

The way to check if they are dead or just shamming is to apply the business end of a electric cattle prod with fresh batteries to the body & hit the switch if the scream & twitch they were shamming.

They were probably afraid of being shot. NRA members are all violent bloodthirsty savages. Seriously: they think we all drink blood.

In reality, they would have received mockery and derision, both richly deserved.

That's fraud. I demand real blood! Theirs!

They should be holding their protest outside of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s house.

They were probably afraid of getting capped in their fat gun-grabbing asses.

“NRA members are all violent bloodthirsty savages.”

That is so off the wall crazy that it has to be true for the Code Pinkos, who left before NRA employees arrived brandishing their heavily accessorized fully automatic AR-15’s.

But...wait a sec...I thought the typical NRA member is a old fat white guy like me. I’m just not up to violent & bloodthirsty anymore.

Except watch me with a steak knife & some rare Angus beef.

;^)

The action was sponsored by Code Pink...

Wonder if they get federal grants.

If they were committed to their cause they would have died for real.

I thought chalk on the ground was a microagression. Best to hose the parking lot down right away so no one gets scared.
