What are you babbling about now dumbass? Do you even know? There's at least one AR-15 in that picture. Get a clue.

See, this is what I'm talking about, you simply don't know wtf you're talking about. It's an FN SCAR with gadgets and an AK variant. No AR-15 in the pic. So concerned, yet you can't tell it apart from other rifles. Shocking.

Maybe pull your head out of your silly ignorant ass before telling someone else to get a clue. It might come across less muffled and pathetic.

Why would I report you making a fool out of yourself again? I wouldn't call it offensive or boring, just unoriginal and repetitive.

The 2A applies to all citizens regardless of race, but walking around brandishing a gun like the men in the OP's photo is illegal for anyone. Legal concealed or open carry of a holstered or slung weapon is entirely different. IMHO, open carry, even if legal, is idiotic grandstanding and asking for unwanted attention and only an idiot would do so.

Open carry is totally legal here in Arizona. You can't open carry at the polls, but out in front of the polls? You bet.

I saw the gun that looked AK-ish, but I'll admit I thought the other gun was an AR. And let's be realistic, when we're talking about these kinds of guns, there is very little difference between an AR15 and FN SCAR. For all intents and purposes, if used for evil intent, they will kill people just the same and they have most all of the same benefits and trade offs as a platform.

I missed it. Looked like an AR. I still think it's funny that they're posing with guns she wants to ban.

AR15's are used in less than 10% as many homicides as knives. Even blunt objects like bats and hammers kill more than AR15's. You lefties get fixated on the wrong things.

Pretty ironic that they are holding AR15's and she wants to confiscate them. Kind of makes them look like idiots.

Also, while I love seeing minorities exercise their 2A rights, the Black Panthers have been at times a violent group. We don't like pics of the KKK with guns especially either, right?

Kemp apparently disagrees. Again seems funny that opinion changes when the Cliven Bundy crowd points rifles at federal law enforcement.

Opinions on the right change depending on who is holding the gun.

When you dumb things down to this level and lose all nuance and background you can make any narrative you want. Nice job.

So any future AR discussions here do not include these rifles...got it...

What nuance? A group of black guys points guns at federal agents they'd be stains on the rocks. But to the kooky white militia crowd the Bundy's were freedom fighters or whatever.

Definitely nothing racist there.

Actually I don't want to see ANYONE brandishing these kind of guns on the street. I'm consistent of this subject. My question why is the right now waffling?? No clues, huh??

It is hilarious that kage wants to get all technical now when most liberals can't probably can't tell the difference between a shotgun and an assault rifle, much less semi-automatic firing versus full auto..

Condemning what?

One thing is for sure. The left has shown that guns are not tools, but killers. So there must be a lot of dead people due to those guys armed in that picture. Right?

I am not him, you'd have to check with Brian Kemp.

What I can say about me, is that I like seeing minorities embrace their 2A rights. I wouldn't phrase it as anything "good" coming from the Pulse Nightclub shooting, but I did like seeing LGBT groups form that embrace their individual right to defend themselves. I have gone to the range with black registered Democrats to shoot, guys I've worked with over the years. I don't see color, I see Americans embracing their constitutional rights. But my perspective is due to my personal experiences in life, I can't speak for Brian Kemp. But I know you leftists will create a narrative, racism.

This thread is about all you 2 faced righties, all for your 2A rights until black people start exercising them. If you did a little reading, there is historical context from you people. That's why blacks are in greater danger when they open carry. That's how John Crawford was killed. That's how Tamir Rice was killed.

Open and concealed carry WITHOUT EVEN A LICENCE are both legal here in Idaho. But that's not legal open carry going on in that photo, which was my only point. Legal open carry requires your weapon stay in your holster or your long gun stays slung on your back. Carrying a gun in your hands is brandishing and a crime unless you have a legal reason to be doing so.

So what's going on in that photo is not legal open carry. Not to mention one of those weapons in the photo appears to have an under-barrel grenade launcher on it. Not exactly legal without the correct permits and background checks, and even then I don't think it's legal for concealed or open carry.

Can you open carry a weapon in front of the polls? If otherwise legally carrying, in most places you can carry *IN* a polling place just like any other public place. So I'm sure you could walk home past a polling place while legally open carrying without a problem, but if you decide to hang out on the street in front of the polling place while open carrying you are going to be asked by the cops to leave unless you have legit business being there.

When I went to vote yesterday I *CHOSE* to leave my pistol at home, even though I wear it well concealed so it's damn hard to spot. I couldn't imagine open carrying into a polling place (or open carry in general) unless I was a grandstanding idiot trying to make a political statement. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Black people create a disproportionate amount of crime and are responsible for a much higher (per capita) homicide rate. I'm not saying it is right for police to be overly aggressive with anyone due to their skin color, but the reality is a police officer has a higher chance of being shot by an African American brandishing a firearm than a white person.

With all that being said, I still personally love seeing minorities embrace their 2A rights. I'm a constitutionalist, not a racist.

Rim Job, isn't there an orange sphincter somewhere you should be servicing? Not surprisingly, you've spewed the usual mix of tripe and bullshit on a topic you nothing about. Her views on gun ownership are not extreme, her ire is pretty much reserved for the AR-15 by her own admission (and she cites the shootings that involved them for cause). I see a 12 gauge in that pic. She has no intention of doing anything about non-military type guns AFASIK. A woman who doesn't cower in front of the NRA worries you, yeah, so piss those Depends some more snowflake.

that shotgun has a pistol grip, and if im not mistaken, would have been banned under the AWB. FYI.
