A pair of mouth-breathing morons strolled around the streets of Portland this week to educate the public about the 2nd Amendment.

Commenter Aimai over at Balloon Juice said the following:
The portland guys really piss me off, and freak me out. I think several schools went on lockdown? What are you supposed to think, ordinary citizen, when two young men walk by you armed to the teeth? Youd be crazy not to start running for the exits. Why is it that in half the country they would arrest you for breastfeeding in public but this kind of disturbing the peace and creating a nuisance/danger to the public is forcibly legal?

Good juxtaposition.

I also doubt that in jursidictions where breast feeding is not legal in public, that actual arrests are made. It is more likely a situation where a citation (ticket payable through a fine) is issued.

(45,851 posts)There's all kinds of people running around most places in America with weaponry that for most practical purposes is as destructive as those rifles, they're just keeping the guns hidden from you.
I don't understand the mentality that allows concealed carry and freaks right the fuck out over a couple of guys with rifles. I want to know about *all* guns in my vicinity when I'm out in public and the only way to accomplish that is mandatory open carry with major teeth in it.
