Do you need an AR15 to protest?

[dave8383]

Protests are always healthy whether you agree with the protestors or not. Maybe especially when you don’t.

I didn't ask about agreeing or disagreeing. I asked about the health issue involved today when a group of people selfishly gather, breaking the social distancing commonsense rules, then going elsewhere putting others at risk. Not to mention the threat to the police officers on site who have to respond to many of the protests I've seen. Is that a good idea?

So if you're not going tk use it, you need it becaise.....

The 2nd Amendment ensures that nobody has to answer that question.

Bottom line...it just isn't any of your business why someone wants to carry a firearm...as long as he's not shooting anyone.

 

[jamesrage]

Not a handful after three readings when most Republicans decided to vote for the bill.

And by the way, your "handful of traitorous anti-2nd amendment trash republicans" includes Ronald Reagan who signed the bill into law and the NRA who also supported the bill and Reagan's enactment into law.

Said Reagan, " "no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons" and better yet, "ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will."

Reagan is no friend of the 2nd amendment. Not all conservatives view Reagan as Republican Jesus.

Despite the lefts' constantly railing against the NRA for not supporting most of the anti-2nd amendment laws the left wants enacted the NRA has been wishy washy when it comes to protecting the 2nd amendment in the past(hence why the GOA and numerous other pro-2nd amendment groups were founded).

You're living in a fantasy.

There's like a 140,000 police in America, all locally trained by their cities, states or counties. When you're dealing with that many people, there are going to be mistakes.

Go on youtube and watch some of them then you can be the judge if they are "mistakes". Some are mistakes but some are so obviously not.

Here is a better question: Armed or unarmed, why do you "need" to protest at all?

I don't have a protest bone in my body. I understand why certain folks do it during certain occasions, but it happens far too often for the silliest of things.

 

[Fiddytree]

those people you worry about don't parade around in public armed. You generally don't know they are armed until they start shooting.

Nah dude. I'll be worried about both. A guy with a pistol in a holster? Doesn't raise much of an alarm for me. I notice it, but eh. But a big ****ing gun? Yeah, you bet your ass I'm not going to feel comfortable.

It if any of them are ill.

it is not how big the gun is that matters, it is your skill in using it.

 

[Fiddytree]

As if that will be crossing my mind as I see that.

 

[Aberration]

You are projecting again, Abe.

 

[Aberration]

I don't care how many flags these protestors wrap themselves in and how many rifles they haul around. They have no right to endanger my life and health, or the life and health of my family. They do that, and we are going to go full communist fascist on their behinds.

And they haven’t. [emoji2369]

 

[Aberration]

So if you're not going tk use it, you need it becaise.....

Tyrants do stupid **** when met with opposition.

 

[MSgt]

If i go to tge bank with a gun and say give me all the money or I shoot, the question isn't whether or not I actually shot anyone.

This isn't that much different. They are showing up armed and making demands. The subtext being that they'll use their weapons otherwise.

You are trying to talk reason to Mycroft, who is completely dedicated to preserving his delusional idea of Donald Trump.

Ironically, Mycroft is supposed to be the smarter brother of Sherlock Holmes. He gave that persona away the moment he decided that Donald Trump was his representation.

 

[MSgt]

Tyrants do stupid **** when met with opposition.

Step back...

Are you declaring that these people are victims of government tyranny, rather than just morons who want to play dress-up with their toys? You are aware that there are people in the world who are actual victims of government tyranny, right? One such government is led by a dictator who apparently has a special bond with our leader.

You must be referring to the leader who gave them a plane load of cash.

Meaning....?

 

[Oborosen]

Those who gather in large groups while armed and dressed for battle should not be shocked when the cops take them up on the threat and drill holes in their ass.

Still digging this massive whole for yourself I see.

 

[Oborosen]

See the vest full of magazines? That's in case he gets into an extended firefight resisting tyranny.
What kind of upbringing would produce a grown man who likes to go out in public dressed in a costume?

I wouldn't have the faintest idea.

 

[Bodi]

Cowards need their guns to protest... and to also show what utter trash they are they also generally bring their Swastika's or Confederate Flags...

 

[Bodi]

Meaning....?

:lol: You think he ha a relevant meaning?

What do you call commands to shut down the economy with the threat of force? Sounds like tyranny to me. I am well aware of greater tyrannies. Recognizing the tyranny happening here does not marginalize greater tyranny elsewhere.

 

[BahamaBob]

Meaning....?

Having trouble comprehending? Meaning he gave them a plane load of cash. Duh.

Well, that's... puzzling.
What does the pink unicorn represent? I won't ask about the individual in the costume.

 

[Wayne Jr]

This is all a delusion, and once again that delusion comes from radical right-wing sources and calculated propaganda.

That's covid-19 in general.

If protesters want to bring guns to object to government actions against the RKBA then it's not your place to question why they 'need' to have them. Show some basic intelligence and note the obvious connection or kindly log out. Anyone too stupid to see the relevance has no credibility in this discussion.

And your dust cover is open.
