'Emasculated' Virginia gun nuts mocked for 'purchasing toys, dressing up in costumes, and playing fa

[douglas9]

Gun owners in Virginia descended upon the capitol of Richmond on Monday to protest against proposed new firearms restrictions that include universal background checks and limits on the number of handguns that can be purchased over the span of a month.

Many of the rally goers came dressed in military camouflage, while others wore black face-covering masks that looked like the sort of garb warn by Hezbollah militants. Many of them walked around openly carrying their AR-15-style rifles and pledged to resist any attempts to restrict their access to deadly weapons.

However, the protesters inspired a good deal of mockery for what critics described as an elaborate cosplay that’s more on par with something you’d expect to see at a Star Trek convention rather than at a serious political rally.

1. "Many of the rally goers came dressed in camouflage, black face-covering Like Hexbollah"

Either they have to keep up with the Harley boys outfits
or nobody told them that Halloween is over. All kidding aside these guys are nuts..and dangerous..

2. 'Cosplay'. Oooo!

20. Terrorist cosplay.

Fucking pigs.

3. One of the things that doomed Roy Moore

Was Doug Jones referring to his western outfit as a cowboy costume. Sometimes mockery works.

11. When Milwaukee had that goofy black sheriff dressed as a cowboy, I always commented

(on not so lefty sites) that he wasn't sure which of the Village People he wanted to be.

4. Meh, such dullards - they shoulda followed Portland's lead, man

[PatrickforO]

12. So...why does this joker have a Star of David on his Trump in It

helmet. Most of the white nationalist Trump supporters are decidedly anti-Semitic.

[Leghorn21]

17. Best guess: Soros paid him to do it!!

[Initech]

16. Worst Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cosplay ever!

[matt819]

5. Every one of them should be identified

Not doxed. Just shamed.

[Cosmocat]

6. It really is pathetic

All of them tooled up in tactical gear and weaponry pushing five figures in completely empty streets all geeked up.

OK ...

And ...

7. They'd get more sex dressed as furries.

Clueless incels.

[Odoreida]

8. This is just the sideshow.

The real test will be when the Virginia authorities start enforcing the new laws.

Not every "gun nut" out there is one of these clowns and the serious anti-government types maintain a low profile.

9. Wait, the Antifa fools are supposed to be the ones mocked for face-covering

What are THESE guys doing imitating THEM?? They're supposed to be unafraid & open!!

[PatrickforO]

10. Yeah. But they are dangerous. Most of the militias that formed

in 2009 and beyond are white supremacist militias. They are dangerous, believe that the white race is being subjected to genocide in America and that they need these guns to fight against the federal government.

Again - dangerous.

If we're going to disarm, perhaps we could begin with these fanatics.

[OMGWTF]

13. Hey Unfuckables -- this is why you are an unfuckable! You look like the losers that you are.

[Beartracks]

19. Someone should re-do the Untouchables movie poster with this.

[Beartracks]

14. American Hezbollah. And they think they're patriots.

And this: "Worlds Worst ComicCon Ever"

==============

[yaesu]

15. So, the big question is, how much did the NRA charge russia to bus all those nuts in? nt

[Sloumeau]

18. ...and yet so few of them have girlfriends...

how can this possibly be?

[silverweb]

21. Did anyone else catch this?

"Cries of 'Wolverines!' heard at #VirginiaRally
"They think they're in Red Dawn
"Children."

[Skittles]

22. they demonstrate exactly why they should not have guns

they thought they would look tough - tells us everything we need to know about their reasoning abilities

[aikoaiko]

23. Critics just expressing sour grapes because the protesters didn't shoot each other.

Schadenfreude denied.
