Yea we had a thread on here a few months ago where the cops gunned down a kid with a toy gun. They basically ran up behind him, yelled "drop the weapon" and then opened up. Kid was dead instantly.

So yea if you are stupid enough to want to express your 2nd ammendment rights by carrying an AR in public, feel free to do so. Be aware that there is a risk to your life that the cops are going to shoot you in the back and ask questions later. The cops are NEVER prosecuted for such shootings and they never lose their jobs over it.

So by all means, I would like to encourage all our friendly gun-nutters to kindly strap up, head down to the local elementary school and strut around with their brand new AKs. Gamble your lives that the police will respect your "rights", it will be interesting for the rest of us.

I keep asking, when are we going to have some common sense cop control legislation in this country?

I think this a problem that takes care of itself. If the cops gun down enough gun-nutters in the back, they will get the message.

Remember a cop is legally allowed to kill you if they feel threatened by you. If you have an AR and they feel threatened, well then they have all the legal justification they need to open up. This was demonstrated by the kid who got lit up for having a fake gun. No blowback for the shooter whatsoever.

LOL!!!

You know, if your objective is less guns, I'd be really careful on going down that path. I'd think the last thing you'd want is the portion of the populous that has chosen to arm itself getting into an increasing escalation with law enforcement (who in crazily large numbers is in the same camp as that armed populous). Even if you could find cops dumb enough to start doing this, the end outcome will be exactly the opposite of what your end goal is. This ain't like stopping the illegal invasion with force, The People aren't going to accept cops just shooting 2A advocates...

So, you shouldn't exercise your rights because to someone else it might be "scary"? That's absurd. He's not breaking any laws.

Unless you are these guys, right??

ROFLMAO!!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Remember Spatially thinks that you are an idiot and risking your life if you throw popcorn in the face of an old dude in a theater. He thinks you are smart if you risk your life walking around neighborhoods with an AK terrorizing the natives.

Hate groups walking around with guns is a little different than some random guy walking around with AR strapped to his back, who in his mind is spreading "knowledge" that it's legal.

By the logic of people in this thread what is different? They are exercising their right to free speech, assembly, and the right to bear arms. If you are frightened by people exercising their rights you should just stfu.

Wikipedia said:
As guardian of the true history of the Black Panther Party, the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, which includes former leading members of the Party, denounces this group's exploitation of the Party's name and history. Failing to find its own legitimacy in the black community, this band would graft the Party's name upon itself, which we condemn. [T]hey denigrate the Party's name by promoting concepts absolutely counter to the revolutionary principles on which the Party was founded. The Black Panthers were never a group of angry young militants full of fury toward the white establishment. The Party operated on love for black people, not hatred of white people.
...
Just to hate another person because [of] the color of their skin or their ethnicity—we don't do that. That's not what the goal objective is. The goal objective is human liberation. The goal objective is the greater community cooperation and humanism. The goal objective is to get rid of institutionalized racism....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Black_Panthers#cite_note-44

Do you really not understand the difference between joe schmoe walking down the road and a hate group trying to intimidate people with weapons?


A better equivalency would be a group of KKK members walking around open carrying.

You have to take it all in context. Tough, I know, when trying to spread your biased propaganda.

Riiiight. The KKK is supposedly fighting for human liberation also.


Give me a break. The new black panther party is nothing more than a hate group.

They deserve the same respect and attention as the KKK, jesse jackson, al sharpton, and anyone else who strives to divide our society based on skin color.

I posted original Black Panther party criticism of the New Black Panther party as evidence that even the OBP thought that the NBP were racists. I apologize that I didn't present it in such a way as to avoid your confusion.

Why don't you explain it to me? Are you saying that people who hold legal, but objectionable views should not be allowed to exercise their second amendment rights? What standard are you using to make this determination? Be specific.

I think I do but I don't think the cops do. Spatially, please remember that when you open carry, you are betting your LIFE that the cops (and CCW carriers) can discern between you and a hater bent on destruction. That being said, I would never discourage a true patriot like yourself from open carrying with an AK to make a stupid political statement. Please feel free to do so.

PS: Remember if a CCW carrier sees you open carrying and feels threatened, they are welcome to gun you down on the spot. They have a right to stand their ground. They can alway say you pointed the gun at them later.

I would probably start with the definitions of the word 'brandish' vs 'carry'. Then I would look at the circumstances surrounding the incident, i.e. is the perpetrator/s actively intimidating people or is the intimidation entirely passive.

It is absolutely freaking astonishing how conservatives are winning the 2nd amendment fight. The zeal is awesome.


The gun grabbers are going nuts over it too... This thread is a perfect example.


America is about apple pie, hamburgers, and guns. It's simply a part of our culture that's not going anywhere at all.

You gleefully approve of "gunning down gun nutters", but you lament the death of 2 people who were brutally beating a man with a baseball bat? Son, you fucked up in the head. :rolleyes:

Gun grabber logic. Best to not try to understand it, just be like the rest of the US and laugh at them.

Please don't use posts that I make in another thread against me in this thread. It makes me look bad.

The guy is just the left version of incorruptible. We don't blame you for that idiot, so don't try to associate this moron with us.
