that view is from the Va. side of the Potomac
Some two dozen men and women from the gun rights group Open Carry Texas, armed with rifles and shotguns, sat outside a Dallas-area restaurant earlier this month
while four women—members of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a small gun control advocacy organization—ate lunch inside at the Blue Mesa Grill. The group posed for photos in the strip mall parking lot, brandishing their weapons and the American flag. After 15 minutes, they packed up their protest and headed to Hooters.“It was very unsettling. It was very disturbing,” one of the moms explained two days later in a televised interview. The groups’ founder, Shannon Watts, said patrons were “terrified by what appeared to be an armed ambush.” The hashtag #gunbullies was born.
that does beg to question who is really in fear those who feel the need and who are they afraid of that warrants a Dodge City existence, those that are not strapped are afraid and fear those story's they hear about on TV is getting ready to become their reality.
those who are strapped have silly crap eating defiant grin on their face IMO they know the are outside the law of a different kind, one that allows this but why?
The incident is the latest headline-grabbing showdown involving open carry activists, who want the unconcealed carrying of firearms to be as normal as holding a cell phone. In groups armed with rifles and Gadsden flags, they’ve demonstrated at the site of President Kennedy’s assassination. They walk alone through state capitol buildings, and Home Depots, baiting police officers and frightening workers and ordinary citizens.
The brazen antics of this mainly libertarian coalition—think of them as the tea partiers of the gun rights’ movement—have had the unlikely effect of placing gun rights groups, law enforcement officials, and control advocates aligned in opposition. Legally, open carry activists are within their rights, protected, as they’re quick to remind their challengers, by the first and second amendment. But when does this type of protest become a menace, to the public’s safety and to the group’s own message of freedom?
i see these guys as home bred terrorist and cowards they get more out of scaring normal people then a sense of protection against who others like them? but they have a counter for thayt called Stand Your Ground, states have legalized murder with concealed weapons do they think it is better if the victims see it coming.
what's next gangs of marauding gunsters killing preople because they aren't White or just asimple look that they having a chip on their shoulder see as a slight, like that cop that shot the guy that waved and said hello, the cop saw disrespect by a Black man to a White man with a badge and a gun, this will be it as long as we give republicans any part of control the are like Iran and we can not live with a armed crazy population.
