On Thursday, several men with assault rifles and hand guns crashed a Mayor’s Against Illegal Guns National Day to Demand Action event in Indianapolis, Indiana and stood silently as the state chapter of Moms Demand Action held a rally in favor of limiting the availability of military style weapons and universal background checks.
WTHR, the local NBC affiliate, covered the story extensively, featuring an interview with one of the armed men and footage of a heated exchange between gun safety advocates and gun proponents. “To me, it’s normal,” one of the men told WTHR, before admitting that he was carrying a loaded weapon. “Any weapon that’s not loaded is just a rock or a club,” he said.But surprisingly, Indianapolis’ Fox affiliate, WXIN, omitted any mention of the loaded firearms, focusing instead on the demands of the gun advocates. The station even spoke to one of the men carrying a weapon but framed the shot from the neck up so as to avoid showing the gun dangling from his chest.
just because they can, there is and was no threat to this guy, but he comes to the dance looking for it, as all who now brandish WMD in public places always seem to be political gatherings, there is a not to subtle message there.
these guys have never had a legitimate reason to be strapped in public, but thanks to republicans carrying out NRA talking orders they pass all sorts of gun friendly legislation, becareful you don't bump the guy next to you in your favorite bar, he could be drunk and looking for the OK corral.
seems they learn nothing from political shootings, or have they?
