Virginia Gun Rally Today in Richmond Feared To Be Like Charlottesville

[Elegiac]

I'd say "take a shot every time you see someone who isn't white participating in the rally" but I don't think any of us deserve to deal with this shit sober.

Can you imagine if a bunch of armed minorities showed up to protest....well...anything?

I dunno man, I get the feeling the FBI might conduct a years long campaign of disinformation and oppression to eliminate whichever group was arming minorities.

You only need to look at what happened when armed men took over a government facility in Nevada. Not only did they not shoot them, they didn't even convict them.

Imagine the outrage if that were a group of Muslims...

As for people being armed, I'm all for it. let them be armed. Of course, these idiots showing up in combat gear, with their AR-15s... are morons. I loved watching LARPers run around the parks at night, pretending they are vampires. This is the exact same thing.

That is when the far right suddenly wants gun control or starts bombing the neighborhoods they live in. Look at the history of the black panthers.

Just a reminder that this is the guy who organized this Virginia Gun Rally:



Not even a joke. It's really him.

He also thought it was a good idea to sell guns to toddlers and train them how to use them.

Was just about to post this once I watched the OP's CBS video. I lost half my coffee from laughing this hard and with Alex Jones in the fray as well it's turned to quite the clown rally.

[eschatological]

It seems like conservative Twitter is patting itself on the back for not having a rally explode into violence or neo-Nazi catcalls.


And it's probably because there weren't really any counterprotests (that I know of).

"Well done people, no one died. Protest was a success."

What really boggles my mind is the issue they have with such common sense gun regulation.

its not even consistent. They want the 2nd protected, but then have no problem with people losing their rights to guns like Felons and the like.... If they were going to really support the 2nd then everyone is allowed a gun. But of course that would allow "minorities" more access...can't have that now can we

Gin Rally turned into a peace rally...so odd.

"There were only some Nazis and no one died, well done guys so peaceful"

Just completely ignoring that law enforcement got credible threats of violence, arrested neo-Nazis who were planning said violence, the governor of Virginia had to declare a state of emergency and call in the National Guard. I guess according to the right law enforcement was just lying and everyone was totally peaceful no threat at all guys.

I also love the irony of these guys saying they need guns to protect themselves from the tyranny of the government, but then they don't think we should disarm the police, an arm of the government. But they also need guns to defend themselves from criminals because the police aren't obligated to protect them, but also the police need guns for some reason then??? I don't even know what they actually want then, armed combat with the police or what?

[D Luniz]

So peaceful that law enforcement got credible threats of violence, arrested some neo-Nazis who were planning violence, the state had to declare a state of emergency, and had to call in the National Guard.

So peaceful guys.

But that is all (somehow) the MSM fearmongering.

Considering who you quote in your sig, I feel this is pertinent.
The Black Panthers, founded after Malcolm X's assassination, marched with guns, the NRA and Reagan rushed to pass gun restrictions in California as a result.

So, yes, can imagine it, cause its happened.

That's exactly what they're saying. That #MSM lied about the potential violence of the rally, that there were just America-lovin', God-fearin' patriots (dressed in camo and toting weapons of war) protecting their rights to......have mentally ill people have guns? Not have universal background checks?

One tweet I saw was like, "Oh man, it was so peaceful and diverse!" Meanwhile, don't think I saw a non-white face there.

What are you talking about, there's never been any connection between gun rights and racial animus in the US. /s

I actually lived in West Philly in when the Move house was firebombed in May '85. I was only a toddler, but my parents remember it vividly. Our whole street was closed down by police.

[Poopymonster]

Because it's a freaking office that's why, do you want a shooting range in a school while you are it? are you people for real?

It'd make dodgeball more interesting.

On Topic: Unofficially there already are. It's called a "Classroom"

Lived in West Philly?
Ouch...most of that area is a toilet.

As for MOVE...before the bombing, they were fairly hated...and a hateful bunch.

[Orbitus]

Nothing? The state of Virginia declaring an emergency because HATE GROUPS are flocking to this Rally is nothing? How the fuck does that not show the issue of hate groups at guns rallys?

Credible threats from domestic hate terrorists. I guess that is nothing to the right. Since they’re too often aligned.

This is how Shanknasty works, you ask him for sources, he won't provide them. But if you give sources, he outright ignores them. He is the perfect Republican voter.

This is why the federal firearms gun control during Reagan's administration took place. It was because the Black Panthers were exercising their 2nd amendment rights, and racist piece of shit Reagan didn't like it.
