Gun nuts plan armed march on DC; 7/4/13: Will U Attend?

Quite a few have, you just weren't paying attention.

Nope, it's just that they weren't quite LOUD enough to be heard.

They will never be loud enough to be heard, until and unless the media publish what they say and broadcast it all over, as they have the Jodie Arias trial and the latest doings of whichever Kardashian.

And the media will never, ever do that for gun owners who don't want their rights violated.

Too much truth to argue against there.

Still, there's always Fox -- so I guess we're fucked...
 
Sounds like "standing up to tyranny" is something you guys only talk about doing.

Figures.

[SARCASM]That does it. Time to buy that Browning M2 I've been eye-balling, so I can head to DC hot and heavy, locked and loaded! I won't have USMB's illustrious Candycorn casting aspersions on MY bravado, Baby![/SARCASM] :evil: :rolleyes:
 
he he he....

It's just funny how it's framed in a context of the very fabric of the nation is being torn apart on some threads....

Then when you can actually in public take a stand for what you believe in....

You all have better things to do.

Listen, I wouldn't march in the event if you told me the finish line was the front row of a U2 Concert so I can't blame you there; but then again, I don't see the minute-by-minute assault on all that I hold holy either....
 
Hopefully, some high profile pro-gun people will have the foresight to LOUDLY condemn the idea ...before it's too late.

I want to see Alex Jones and The Nuge on Piers Morgan's show again -- condemning the stupid ass idea before a 'mainstream' audience!

Alex Jones is a bullshit con artist. His only agenda is self promotion, and ideas this stupid are inspired by him. He is unlikely to condemn such events, because regardless of the outcome he will spin it into something it isn't>

I can see The Nuge coming out against it.
 
I predict it will be more peaceful than a big city Occupy protest. Although many of the gun nutters are in fact insane.....they do have self control and probably wont commit any crimes. I do support the 2nd amendment.

However, I wont be going. Why?

Because I simply do not think the US military or our American cops would ever, in mass, turn on their fellow countrymen to inflict tyranny.

And unless the military and police as a whole are willing to do it, then it just aint gonna happen.

So, no. I wont go, and Im not worried.

Now I have identified your peopblem. You lack the ability to make logical connections between two items. That's why you caompare apples to oranges, nails to big toes, and popcorn to footballs, and then think you've made some rational point.

You should seek help. that mental deficiency might be affecting other parts of your life as well.

"In my gut, I wouldn't have done it."

While that's not an emphatic denouncement of the idea, it's certainly not a gleaming endorsement.

He's also absolutely right, in that the event could easily be co-opted by the anti-gun people.
 
If not, why not?

A group of self-proclaimed anti-tyranny activists are planning to celebrate Independence Day by marching on Washington, D.C. while carrying loaded rifles on their backs—something that would clearly break D.C.'s strict gun laws the moment they stepped foot inside the district. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, for starters, they'll most likely be stopped on the Arlington Memorial Bridge by law enforcement officers. "If you're coming here to protest government policy, great," D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said yesterday during one of her monthly appearances on local television. "If you're coming here to break law, we'll take action." She went on to lay out the most obvious outcome if organizers go through with the effort: "There’s a pretty good chance we’ll meet them on the D.C. side of the bridge." Her officers, it goes without saying, would themselves be armed, and would likely have backup from U.S. Park Police.
Adam Kokesh, the Iraq war veteran and Internet talk-show host who is organizing the as-yet unpermitted event, is hailing it as a display of civil disobedience. He notes on his personal website that he hopes to coordinate to some extent with D.C. law enforcement so that participants have a clear picture of what will—and won't—end in their arrest, at least in theory. But the law enforcement officials tell the Washington Post that they're not going to allow the armed marchers into D.C., period. So, given that the "open carry" march's main goal is to carry loaded rifles into the nation's capital, it's hard to see how the demonstration could go off as planned.

Obviously, the protest is looking to make a wider point beyond the participants' opposition to D.C.'s strict gun laws. About 2,500 people have signed up to participate, but not everyone will be armed, according to Kokesh. Here's what he wrote about what he wants his protest to say, along with a hint about the best bet for a non-violent—yet, we're guessing, still publicity-heavy—outcome (CAPS-LOCK his; emphasis ours):

We will march with rifles loaded & slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated & cower in submission to tyranny. We are marching to mark the high water mark of government & to turn the tide. This will be a non-violent event, unless the government chooses to make it violent. Should we meet physical resistance, we will peacefully turn back, having shown that free people are not welcome in Washington, & returning with the resolve that the politicians, bureaucrats, & enforcers of the federal government will not be welcome in the land of the free. There’s a remote chance that there will be violence as there has been from government before, and I think it should be clear that if anyone involved in this event is approached respectfully by agents of the state, they will submit to arrest without resisting. We are truly saying in the SUBTLEST way possible that we would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.
It looks like that against all signs to the contrary, Kokesh is holding out hope that he and his fellow protesters will make it into the district. He writes that he wants police to "escort us on our route," in an exception to the law, or even participate in the march itself. Again, we don't see that happening.


Sounds like its right down some of ya'lls alley.

will any of the Anti Gun Nuts be there?....if so looks like fun for the whole family.....
