Why hold a pro-gun rally *on* MLK Day?

Instead of reflecting on his great work and words we will be worried about more gun violence. It’s disrespectful at a minimum. It’s blatant hate & racism at worst.

Disgusting.

Lol is this your first time hearing about lobby day? I know you hate rights, so I guess we can add the right to assembly to your list of evil.

Holding a pro-gun rally on MLK Day is disgusting. That’s probably a bigger draw to the white supremacists than the gun rights. Have fun with your very fine friends.

Imagine if all those protesters were black and marching in camouflage with guns. Imagine the conservative heads that would explode at seeing pictures of armed black dudes. Imagine the reaction on Fox News.

Mmmmm, no. You're projecting your own racism.

I'm in favor of everyone being armed. white, black, brown, red, yellow, olive, albino, rainbow, doesn't matter. I want everyone able to protect themselves, not just from ordinary petty criminals, but from ordinary petty dictators.

That's what y'all don't understand about the gun culture. We don't care who you are - if you understand the right to be armed, then we're just brothers from other mothers.

This may be you - let's for the sake of argument accept that it accurately reflects your beliefs.

Are you asserting that this is true for all, or even a majority, of the the people marchng today, and/or conservatives? That they want every AA male to own and carry a firearm?

If you really claim that, you are either dangerously naive or transparently disingenuous. Only you know which.

Go to the big gun show in Chantilly, VA some weekend and see for yourself. It's probably the only place I can think of where black guys in their 20's can walk around with a AR15 slung over their shoulder amid a crowd of 50-something white folks and no one pays them any mind.

So much for your "gun owners are racist" stereotype.

Yeah I too find the liberal racist stereotyping quite tiresome. I am Asian and go to the NRA range quite often and it is a very diverse and friendly crowd. If anything the anti gun crowd is overwhelmingly white women and feminized men.

I see more diversity at the Chantilly gun shows than i do walking around Clarendon on a Saturday night.
*im not kidding*

So. Much. This.

Maybe they should send cops to get some training there so they don't automatically react violently to AA men with guns.

They are interviewing a gun nut on MSNBC right now.
He is holding a sign that says
“How much of your body do politicians own?”

WTF?

Can someone tell that entitled idiot that politicians are constantly claiming ownership of my body, and trying to take my decisions from me.

I noticed today that MSNBC would label it as a white supremascist event and only show large helicopter views. But there are several local media and online media outlets showing that the event was actually very diverse.

Typical fear-mongering media. I say this as a liberal, not a conservative.

This African American man interviewed pretty much dispels the white supremacist narrative.

Read this thread to get a sense of what the rally was like.

So buying 12 guns means I'm ok, but suddenly I become a potential monster if I buy 13?

Fascinating!!!

Umm, no, because you could very well buy your 13th gun the following year. The fact that one gun a month is not enough to satisfy you is a bit scary though. You don't mind at anyone can stockpile without a background check. Do you want someone with a record of sexual assault to have that?

Some news outlet will get ahold of this and say that every non-white person there are just paid actors.

Here is another "white supremacist" that you've heard so much about in the media.

[Anonymous]

More white supremacists. They were EVERYWHERE!

[Anonymous]

Yeah, WAPO is already running the headline, “weapons, flags, but no violence.” They seem so disappointed.

Pitiful. No doubt they are disappointed.
But, now you can expect them and all the other biased media to drop this topic like a hot potato. Like it never happened.

Did Richard Spencer show up? Light Foot Militia?

[Anonymous]

No one is disappointed that there was no violence. How can you say such things? Please leave the internet hole and join the rest of us. Also, please make principled arguments to support your case — to legislators or to the courts — rather than saying you will break any new laws.

Of course. Dying legacy media needs the clicks and ad revenue. Also, they need to feel validated to say “told ya, the big bad boogeymen racists are out there ready to shoot!”

I honestly have never understood the whole "white male" argument. It might be true elsewhere in Virginia, but NoVa has diverse ownership. Proven Arms had a going out of business during the Christmas holiday and I saw plenty of "the blacks", "the browns", and "the asians" buying guns and related paraphernalia. No one seemed concerned.

Or domestic abusers.

Domestic abusers have been federally prohibited from owning a gun since 1994. It's called the Lautenberg Amendment. Google it.


You don't even realize you're demanding things that have already existed longer than most millennials, lolz!


Seriously, get a clue.

Huh? The “clue” is that there are big gaps.

Since you want to protect people from domestic abusers you must fully support:
