Nice try. But, it's still a fail.

Really, it's not. But your butthurt is hilarious.

I mean, a bunch of grown men, most of whom couldn't actually make it in the military parading around in paramilitary gear isn't any different than nerds doing cosplay at Comiccon.

Um. A good number of those present yesterday were..... wait for it...... IN THE MILITARY.

No they weren't. They were cosplaying as soldier boys in their "militias" -- which shouldn't be called as such.

A good number of those presents yesterday weren't even Virginians. Why would our legislators give a hoot what they say?

Shows how much you know about the crowd. I'll bet you didn't know one person who attended, but you think you are entitled to pontificate about what you think you know based on your bias and stereotypes.

You would be correct. I do not associate with gun nuts. I prefer my friends to be sane and rational.

That said, I have been forced, professionally, to interact with these types and rest assured by biases and stereotypes are well-founded.

I'm also old enough to remember when Americans weren't such fearful ninnies who feel the need to walk around security objects. I just think we should substitute a binky for your Glock.

You sound like such a delightful person to be around So open-minded and sophisticated. What do you do for a living? I think I already have an idea, but I'd like to hear it from you first.

Do you honestly think that if you have money and can get laid that you would be hanging out with a bunch of guys dressing up like GI Joe? They are just trying to be somebody, and this is all they've got.

Kind of like all the weirdos who show up at “Women’s marches” dressed as vaginas?

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.

Looking at past years, it seems they hold it each year in the third Monday of January. Last year it was on Jan 21, the year before that Jan 15.

I think you are assuming bigotry.

Right. MLK Day is the third Monday of January.

Hopefully the new General Assembly fixes this.

Lobby day, which isn't just for gun issues, is always on MLK day.

Right. Since it's been dominated by gun rights for many years so the GA should fix that.

Ah, so gun owners just shouldn't even be afforded the opportunity to speak to Delegates or Senators, huh? Gotcha.

What's next? Make them all wear little yellow stars with "G" stenciled on it on their sleeves?

And I would certainly feel threatened by a total stranger who demanded I give up my guns for no reason other than they desire it. Get red flag laws orders against the membership of Mom's Demand Action. Get red flag orders against the membership of Everytown and the Brady Center. Get red flag laws against tv reporters. Get red flag laws against the politicians who sponsor and vote for these laws. Let them see their own devices used against them. Let their houses be torn apart in a fruitless search. Let their property be damaged and destroyed. Let them reap what they sew.

Oh look. Another stable genius.

1. The risk order would have to be submitted by 2 cops or a DA. Not just any anonymous poster on DCUM.

2. A judge would have to approve the risk order and search warrant to remove firearms.

Speaking of fantasy cosplay, did any DCUM moms show up in this?

Do you think anyone at anytime should be able to get a gun?

No. We have laws to prevent felons and other from getting weapons.
Do you believe there are no background checks in place already?

Felon walks into a gun show. Should he be allowed to buy a gun without a background check?

No. But, if I wish to gift my firearm to my age-eligible son or daughter, I should not have to conduct a background check.

So you're OK requiring background checks at gun shows then?

Another scenario - your neighbor wants to gift a firearm to his felon son. No background check for him?

The neighbor would be knowingly breaking the law.
And, if there were UBC laws in place, if the neighbor wanted to illegally gift his son a firearm, do you think he would comply by having a background check completed?
You are not reasoning through this........

So you are OK requiring background checks for gun shows?

How about online ads? Your neighbor places an ad online to sell his gun and unknowingly sells to a felon. You don't think he should do a background check on potential buyers?

As long as you can easily gift a gun to your daughter you are OK not requiring background checks for unlicensed sellers?

https://lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/background-checks/interstate-and-online-gun-sales/
- A recent large-scale survey found that 45% of gun owners who acquired a gun online in the past two years did so without any background check.1
- Nearly one in nine prospective gun buyers on Armslist.com (a major web platform for gun classifieds) would not have passed a background check.2
- In 2018 alone, there were 1.2 million ads on Armslist.com for firearm sales where no background check was required.3

How many of those were felons, people with mental health issues, or people with a history of domestic abuse?

I've reasoned through it, weighed the pros/cons, and came to a different conclusion than you. I'm OK if people are inconvenienced if it means we can keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them.
