[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Race became a topic for the gun rally because white supremacists were planning to attend.

Did they show up? [/quote]

[b]The only people who said white supremacists were planning to show up were the mainstream media.[/b] The same people who told us there would be bloodshed today. The same people who said two weeks ago that we'd be in world war three with China and Russia over Iran. The same people who told us we would have a historic stock market crash within days after Trump winning the election.

Those are the people who said white supremacists were coming to Richmond. [/quote]

Facts![/quote]

Fact - the #1 media source (doesn't get more mainstream than that!), FoxNews, reported yesterday: 
[i]"Also seen Sunday roaming the Capitol grounds was Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist behind InfoWars.

Members associated with the Light Foot Militia, some of whom were banned from Charlottesville, Va., following the deadly 2017 "Unite the Right" rally, are expected to attend Monday's protest.  Richard Spencer, a prominent white nationalist, has also indicated he might make an appearance."[/i]

Here is  the  difference.  Fox  was  reporting facts.  Who was there... who may  attend. 
Other media hyped the "white  supremacist"  angle of this story as seen in the montage posted earlier. 
The  difference cannot be more stark.  [/quote]

I was just disputing the quote from PP:
"The only people who said white supremacists were planning to show up were the mainstream media"

Which is clearly untrue.

And FoxNews LOVES to stir up trouble,[b] even included this quote in bold: "All of our freedoms as Americans are under attack. We have to stand up for our rights."[/b]

:lol: [/quote]

Um.  That was  the whole point of this rally.  Appropriate  for that quote to be  highlighted.  [/quote]

Please explain how [u]ALL[/u] of your freedoms as Americans are under attack? Bonus points if you can do it without sounding paranoid or hyperbolic.

[/quote]

The 2nd amendment  ensures  that all our other rights are honored.  
Think Venezuela.
[/quote]

So....

Universal background checks = Venezuela? 
[/quote]

Not quite. There's a couple steps missing.

UBC = defacto gun registration = convenient lists for gun confiscation = Venezuela

[/quote]

Oh yes. The infamous Slippery Slope.  :lol:

I’m willing to risk it on UBC.
