So don't poke hornet's nests.

F you bully. A lot of us are fed up with white men trying to intimidate the rest of us. Fed up.

This guy is absolutely insane. He has no idea what he is doing....pretending to play war games. He isnt concealed at all and could easily be sniped. Is he trying to be some type of martyr?

You’re much more Waco than Revolution.

The government burned children to death in Waco

That’s what tyrants say.

This only makes Virginians want to tighten gun regulations even more. What's next - intimidating with guns outside of school?

If a student intimidated another kid with a gun, that student would be arrested.

Liberals terrorized my friend’s family in their home for days on end. He took his own life so it would stop. This was after his company set him up.

You might also be unaware that about half the population in Virginia now lives in gun "sanctuary" counties, and that some of these counties are starting government sanctioned militias. All if this started not just from Del Levine's bill, but from fellow delegates who wanted the state police to go door to door and confiscate weapons.

You have a lot of people who are incredibly upset by heated rhetoric.

I can only hope cooler heads prevail as Del Levine's legislation is submitted again next year.

You think there's a broader context that justifies this? Please elaborate, with more than, "people are upset."

Also, gun sanctuary counties are meaningless.

I'm merely explaining that there is considerable pushback and county government so angry that they are willing to deputize and train militias in response to fears that the national guard was going to be called out to take firearms. That was actually a position advocated by some Virgina delegates and eventually answered by the VA national guard.

Apparently you weren't following the 75 page thread last month on the gun lobby day.

You now have a lot of newly energised people who are more inclined to vote GOP next time.

So, to be clear, you do *not* think that there is a "broader context" that justifies this behavior?

And you concede, that the "gun sanctuary county" nonsense is meaningless?

No I don't think the sanctuary county stuff is meaningless if you have a sherrif in that county that won't cooperate with state level enforcement or a Commonwealth attorney for enforcement. Not if you have a sherrif or county that has started a militia for that purpose.

Those things have happened already in a few rural counties. I can't concern the point when armed groups exist authorized by local government.



I think cooler heads are needed.

I can't conceed the point, not concern the point.

I notice you ignored the first question. Again.

No you just ignored the response... Again.

I'm not one of the gun nuts but pp you are wrong about the fact that what the person is doing is illegal. It isn't. If they aren't on private property, they can legally hang out there. It is not illegal.

You are absolutely wrong. Picketing a private residence is a class 3 misdemeanor in Virginia. Take a look at Va Code 18.2 - 419. The fine is $500 per day, and the resident of the home is specifically authorized to sue you in civil court for punitive damages.

A farm that participates in the market is being run by a couple of white supremicists and there have been protests at the market. Counter protesters have shown up and have firearms like the crazy guy posted in the picture. None of them have been charged with brandishing.

The key phrase is "in such manner as to reasonably induce fear in the mind of another." Usually that means a jury gets to decide. I know if a guy was outside my house waving a gun and talking like that it would "induce fear" in me.

So why wasn't he arrested?

A different state will have different laws.

The is a crime in Virginia called "brandishing" a firearm. Look it up. What he's doing is illegal.

"It shall be unlawful for any person to point, hold or brandish any firearm or any air or gas operated weapon or any object similar in appearance, whether capable of being fired or not, in such manner as to reasonably induce fear in the mind of another or hold a firearm or any air or gas operated weapon in a public place in such a manner as to reasonably induce fear in the mind of another of being shot or injured. However, this section shall not apply to any person engaged in excusable or justifiable self-defense. Persons violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor or, if the violation occurs upon any public, private or religious elementary, middle or high school, including buildings and grounds or upon public property within 1,000 feet of such school property, he shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony."
