Hey! I have a free speech right to wave a gun in your face!
The armed right keeps saying that an armed society is a polite society. A society under a strict military dictatorship is also a polite society, no? Such meekness and order via threats of violence, though, are only the aim of the right to control the left. If this same right wing sees a black man, especially a Democrat, become president, then wild dissent is good, impoliteness and disorder are virtues, and of course there must be threats of future violence and death if this president and Congress don’t fall in line or quit.

“We came unarmed. THIS TIME!”

Smack that brat.

1. I'm a lifetime liberal Democrat.......
who's voted Dem for over fifty years. I'm also a firearms owner, a Second Amendment supporter, and have had a Concealed Pistol License for over seventeen years.

Support for the RKBA isn't a matter of Party affiliation.

I suspect you'd be surprised to know how many DU'ers are firearms owners.

2. Do you bring your gun
to protest and openly display it?

3. I also am a liberal Democrat and a firearm owner...
I've enjoyed the sport of target shooting with handguns for 40 years.

And I also have a concealed carry permit and have had one for fourteen years.

Many Democrats are pro gun. The Democrats who run for state office where I live proudly advertise the fact that they support the Second Amendment.

The individuals who attended demonstrations while openly carrying did firearm owners no favor and in my opinion represented only a tiny percentage of gun owners.
