Last edited Fri Apr 6, 2012, 02:44 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) ...simply because of your deliberate misquoting of the group SOP.
This post is being made on this board so as to discuss gun control laws (banning guns at political conventions), the Second Amendment, the use of firearms for self-defense (presuming it's not for offensive purposes as well), and the use of firearms to commit crime and violence (guns used to intimidate free speech at political rallies and/or to commit violence). What a load of nonsense indeed... 
What purpose do squirt guns serve at such events? Can't discuss the issue so squirt them with water? Are SuperSoakers protected by the 2A? |

120. I think the word we're all after is actually "intimidating"

It ain't illegal. But it sure ain't DEMOCRATIC, either, to create an intimidating atmosphere in a society's public spaces, especially the space where democratic processes are taking place, and tell anybody who feels intimidated by such obviously fucking intentionally intimidating behaviour that they are welcome to fuck off and stay home.
A man carries an AR-15 rifle during a Barack Obama opposition rally in Phoenix Monday. Jack Kurtz/The Arizona Republic/AP/File Poor fellow was just concerned for his safety in the middle of all those strangers. |

where would the perimeter be? What's to keep gun toters of every political persuasion from congregating just outside it.
I guarantee if anything is said about guns in that political atmosphere it will be like delivering fifty tons of red meat to our political enemies. About ten thousand of this guy will show up: 
And the hell of it is we need him and every one like him. He's in the 99% too. He's a Democrat but he just doesn't know it yet. And he'll never find out if we piss him off about that gun. |
