If a real shootin' war showed up, these idiots would turn tail and run. They could actually be trained and paid to dress up like this - it's called the US military. But cowards need not apply.

have been in the military? I'd be willing to bet the assclown in front, second from the left, never served.

I laughed last fall at the outfit down the street. They were probably going deer hunting. I watched them all load their rifles in the trunk of a little two door car. It was outside a little dump rental at least one of them lives at. What was funny was that those guys were all decked out in the latest real tree cammie jammies. I'm thinking you gotta be shittin' me! When I went hunting with buddies back when we had no money, we all just had on jeans and whatever like we'd probably wear to school. Maybe you'd see a blaze orange hat or vest.

We're in north central Idaho, so you can jump in the rig and be out hunting in like a half-hour. Blowing a bunch of money on camo gear probably doesn't improve your odds at all for just deer hunting. I wonder if you have to dress up or you don't get to go? LOL

Taxation is theft? Well, you could argue the woo that Jones sells on his program and site, (after whipping the rubes into a paranoid, fearful, conspiratorial frenzy like a preacher hawks the hell fires of damnation before passing the plate) are a form of theft too, but what do I know?

A little research reveals that the early NRA, (pre-80s) would never have promoted or tolerated the immature, brazen brandishing of weapons by promiscuous gun toters like we are seeing.

"See hya! See ma gun. Ma guns. Ma big guns. Whatcha' gon do? Right hya in ya face, libtards! Ma holy guns." That is lending huge support for more reasonable gun control just by the suggestive mannerisms of those who are acting against the Constitutional rights of others, which are not only sacrosanct, but even more fundamental than bearing arms.

The crazy part is they are in such spasms of mob mentality while mixing in other issues, (again, fear, paranoia, irrational thinking, etc.) that I guess it does not dawn on them that amassing at rallies armed to the teeth is the worst thing they could do for their cause. That's not activism, that's adolescent, reactionary neurosis bordering on psychosis. After all, there is a very demonstrable difference between responsible gun ownership and posturing in a way that suggests a threat to others or the rule of law.

I would imagine that the responsible, sensible and lawful gun owners in this country are concerned and embarrassed by this politicized rabble rousing by people who look and sound like potential domestic terrorists rather than gun rights activists.

It's their right. Then everyone go back to their lives. Everyone should know that new laws will often rub some group the wrong way.

They promised some stricter gun laws in VA and they are delivering. If they start rioting, I would expect the police to do what police do.
