Gun Protesters Plan March On D.C. With Loaded Rifles To ‘Put Government On Notice'

[Stephanie]

By Rebecca Leber

Almost 900 people are RSVPed for a July 4th march on Washington, D.C. where protesters plan to carry loaded rifles. In D.C., openly carrying guns is against the law. But the organizer of the event, libertarian radio host Adam Kokesh, says the march is an act of “civil disobedience” that attempts to prove gun advocates’ point in the “SUBTLEST way possible.”

The event’s Facebook invitation describes the march as a nonviolent demonstration, “unless the government chooses to make it violent”:

This is an act of civil disobedience, not a permitted event. 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.​

I'm sure Obama will have an adequate military/police force waiting for these radical gun clowns. When I think of "civil disobedience" - I think of brave unarmed civil rights heroes like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ghandi.

What tyranny are these idiots protesting anyway?

lol, I hope they get arrested and convicted of a felony...

...then they will legally and constitutionally lose their gun rights.

this is the type^^^^^ of tyranny they are protesting and it's coming from their Fellow Americans..
how scary and sad

O.W.S. (Occupy Washington, Shooters!) may put a real bang into the fourth.

 

[Circe]

BTW, how do they get a permit to march with loaded weapons in D.C.?

They can't, so maybe that's the organizer's ticket to safety. Whoops, couldn't get a permit, we'll have to call it off.

Charming.

Armed protestors on public property without permit is insurrection.

Period.

In the shorter video he says he will do with or without a permit.

If they do it without permit, they will be charged and faced enhanced sentencing guidelines because they broke the law while armed.

 

[Wildman]

Arrest them all, and shoot them if they protest. No excuses for these pathetic people.

now isn't this rich ? an anti gun witch advocating shooting people...., WOW !!

I've said for years that another Civil or Revolutionary War was coming to America. Now, nearly half of all republicans believe an armed revolution is imminent.

Nearly Half of Republicans Believe an Armed Revolution May Be Imminent. No, Seriously. - Houston - News - Hair Balls

Not only that, but almost a third of ALL Americans believe an armed revolution is NECESSARY.

Our government is out of control and completely dysfunctional. They are blowing TRILLIONS of dollars on garbage, losing it the billions and telling us they don't know where it went, giving billions to foreign governments that HATE us, or showering themselves with entitlements as if they were gods. The RICHEST county on EARTH is Washington D.C. What does that tell you? All while they keep telling us, WE NEED TO RAISE YOUR TAXES, YOU NEED TO TIGHTEN YOUR BELTS, and oh, by the way, WE NEED TO TAKE YOUR RIGHTS AWAY.

Well the message that's getting sent on the fourth of July is, YOU'VE PUSHED US JUST ABOUT FAR ENOUGH, AND NO, WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF YOU. IT IS YOU WHO SHOULD BE AFRAID OF US. YOU WORK FOR US... REMEMBER?

Only the little bubble headed, commie, socialist, leftist lemmings are fine with the government TELLING them what they can and can't do, and running their entire life from womb to tomb. They're too afraid to try and stand on their own. They need mommy government and daddy obama to take care of them, and tell them what to do and what to think.

"DON'T LISTEN TO THOSE VOICES THAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN BE TYRANNICAL" ... yes my messiah.

We don't consider you people. Or Patriotic Americans.

People guilty of treason should be shot.

The New D.C. Welcoming Committee.

And what makes you think American troops are going to open fire on fellow American citizens? What if one of those Navy Seals DAD was marching in that group?

You're a fucking moron and a gutless coward. You don't even deserve to live in this nation, that was built by men and women that had BRAVERY. Something you know nothing about, you disgusting sack of puss.

Since when is standing up for your constitutional rights treason?

You twisted pile of steaming pig shit.

Did OWS engage in an unlawful armed march on Washington, D.C.?

No, but they did this: OccupyArrests.com - Sources. How many have been arrested during Occupy protests, and you cheered.

Black Panther Party -- the Black equivalent to the NRA.

Read your history...you'll see I am right about that.

surprising facts the lefties usually do not know about the NRA

In 1958, retired Marine Robert Williams opened a chapter of the NAACP in Monroe, North Carolina. Monroe was also Klan country, and the KKK mounted several vicious assaults against African-Americans in Monroe. In 1960, Williams applied for and was granted a charter to establish an NRA chapter in Monroe; the association also provided firearms training materials. Mr. Williams and other black NRA members in Monroe subsequently successfully defended themselves with firearms against an attack coordinated between the KKK and the local police.

The NRA also taught the sandy hook shooter how to kill kids.

LOL.....I didnt know the NRA held a class on killing kids. Who knew??

 

[JakeStarkey]

First of all, gun nuts are American.

So are anti-gun nuts.

Maybe 2 or 3% of all Americans may think a revolution is coming (the nut group).

All of you folks who are posting nuttily here are good folks, so grow up, huh, and stop acting like you are first hitting puberty.

Where is Bigrebnc1775. This is his kind of stuff.

He was denied a permit. He wasn't stupid enough to believe that the govt would protect him or his family at all times. Just because you preach non violence doesn't mean that you or your family need to suffer through some horrific act that could have been stopped.

The history of American insurrections has been the Whiskey Rebellion, Kent State and other group insurrections all put down by government.
For a time I was an MP and one of the programs we practiced was standing up to a mob. We used rifles with fixed bayonets and moved forward jabbing the bayonets. Would we have fired on a group of Americans if ordered, you bet your ass. Check MacArthur and the bonus army of veterans.

 

[there4eyeM]

"And what makes you think American troops are going to open fire on fellow American citizens?"

After Kent State, how can anyone even ask this question?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Armed protestors in a public place are indeed insurectionary by definition.

Damn, you get dumber every time you post.

Insurrections are violent.

Says who? Insurrections don't require violence. Now who's dumber?

They don't? Can you give me an example of a non violent insurrection?

Didn't think so.
