Pro-Gun Group backs down from rallies

[MaggieD]

Okay, here's why those guys went into Chipotle with open-carry rifles and shotguns: They were encouraged to do so by a Texas gun rights group -- Open Carry Texas. What idiots.

They've asked their members to cease and desist their demonstrations immediately. What idiots.

They decided maybe it wasn't such a good idea after Chipotle reconsidered their gun policy -- and understand that Chili's (because of the same kind of demonstration) was reconsidering theirs. What idiots.

The powers that be within Open Carry Texas are quite obviously mentally impaired.

Pro-Gun Group Backs Down After Chipotle Rally Backfires

They're probably the jamokes behind these young men walking up-and-down Main Streets with their semi-automatics slung over their shoulders. What idiots.

also idiots-Mothers demand action. A group we'd be better off if it didn't exist.

I don't know anything about them. I'm delighted you used the word "also" however.

After-thought.

Know where they ought to organize? Our inner-cities. There they'd have a wonderful mission.

I think those two goobers were idiots. However, banning carry by Chipolte is moronic because I and many other affluent gun owners won't give them any business. Mothers Demand Action is a compilation of hard core left wing activists, Dem operatives and pillow headed morons. a group that we would be better off without. complete assholes all of them

Honestly? I'm not sure they DID ban guns. All of the articles I've read about it haven't said they posted No Guns signs. They've said (paraphrased): "Chipotle sent a mandate to all of their outlets requesting that customers not bring guns into their stores." (Or some-such..emphasis on "requesting".)

yeah disarming the pimps, drug dealers and gang bangers. I suspect MDA would be RIP rather quickly though

groups like this have a pretty standard foundation. Some women become hysterical because a child is murdered-understandable enough. In order to work through their grief they WANT TO DO SOMETHING. Not much chance of doing anything about the murderer who killed the child so they think banning guns will accomplish SOMETHING. hard core anti gun operatives soon join the group to use the energy of the hysterics for nefarious political ends-that being to punish gun owners and make pro gun groups defend turf they already hold. Its why I have no use for such groups and I refuse to cut the hysterics any slack even if they have lost a loved one since they are now being tools to deprive us of our rights

They are the group that started the very iffy petitions, they are backed by Bloomberg.

It would be a short one. Come to think of it, I think you are on to something.

Worse IMO. They don't have the spine to actually take a stand either way, and instead of making a solid policy are condescending to gun owners by "requesting" we disarm ourselves to make a couple of idiots happy, but still spend our money there. Sorry, I can respect a no guns policy, but saying my carry makes me a "lesser" customer like that makes me a non-customer.

O nobody, I mean... well you know stating the obvious may result in an infraction and I've got quite a few of those but the rules let us all get away with stuff like that even though its obvious and I've argued quite a bit for changing that but until its changed we gotta live within the rules we got.

I understand OC rifles in TX because for some reason OC handguns is illegal. However, where OC handguns is legal, handguns should be used, not rifles.

Interesting retreat.

Well I think i'm on edge for another suspension if I get another infraction and as much as I'd love to insult you directly, I don't think its worth it at this time.

I guess if you're not willing to follow through, for whatever reason, maybe talking the big talk isn't something you should have don in the first place?

Well that's just your opinion, personally I don't have a problem with myself so I don't care if you do.

Ah, still trying to save face by getting the last word. Evidently you do care.
