For some reason, I can't help but think that one day all those dunmesswivmahgunz nutjobs are going to rebel against the US government, any government, democrat or republican and, ironically enough, most of you are going to wish that your government could go all Bashar al-Assad on their asses so you can go back to living your lives.

They'll be arrested for violating the gun laws in DC. SAGE_OF_FIRE

 

If they end up getting anywhere near the 10,000 people they want to have participating, good luck.

Good thing they announced the rally months in advance to give D.C. enough time to get more cops on the job.

Well, there is no way that will end well. I really don't think that is a way to get a point across.

Hey if bringing loaded guns to make a point isn't the right way to get a point across you clearly don't love America.

I am an outsider and I agree with your comments. However... Insiders must have a similar thought.

I don't think that this protest is the best way to get the point across.  However, I do think that the vast majority of people (at least in the US) have been turned into establishment-programmed drones.  They don't understand just how evil Washington has gotten, and that these are desperate times.  Some of us want to keep them from getting more desperate.  The citizens don't need more laws, or even some of the ones we already have.  The politicians need more laws for themselves.

... Actually if anything military will be involved.. If 10,000 armed people marching in Watching D.C. isn't a serious threat to national security, then I don't know what is..

You're correct in a way. We are so focused on making more laws on civilians.. When Washington should be getting more restrictions and laws first.. I'm not big into politics.. but it is getting a bit out of hand. I just hope a rally like this doesn't happen where something goes wrong and a bunch of people end up getting killed.

They can take my guns when they pry them from my cold, wet hands.

 

This is a much better idea.

I'm not ok with "the government" taking away people's right to bear arms if they participate in a peaceful protest.  I just hope this whole thing doesn't get out of hand.  I respect what Adam Kokesh stands for, but I'm not sure this is the best way to go about it.

You get the right taken away for being a felon. Carrying loaded weapons in D.C is a felony. They ain't gonna be arrested for protesting, they're gonna be arrested for breaking felony law.

There are going to be quite a few police officers among the protestors.  This could get interesting.

There were police and former police officers in the OWS protests that ended well for the protesters.raylewisweb.jpg?w=300&h=199

You're making this less about protesting something, and more about you being to stupid to understand the issues.

It's not about being too stupid to understand, it's about living in a place that has nothing better to do than to get mad about the 'war against the second amendment' that is actually not happening and will never happen. The United States government will NEVER take away US citizens guns as they have not taken away any of the original liberties the Bill of Rights gives Americans.

Background checks won't prevent any law-abiding citizen the right to purchase a firearm. Just as it would have failed to do so with Adam Lanza and the Aurora shooter. There is nothing the government can do or pass without taking away all guns that would solve the problem.

if you're in a miltia.

at the time the U.S. didn't have much of a military so that was written so that in the case of a war, a military could be build up much more quickly if people already had guns. 

Obviously that has no value today as we have the most powerful military by far.

Well neither you or I are Supreme Court Justices and obviously, in the history of the United States the Supreme Court has not ruled that the phrase of the Second Amendment that refers to a militia means that the rest of the Second Amendment restricts the right to bear arms to a militia. Personally, I do not feel as qualified enough to assume that I do not know the law as much as dozens of Ivy League graduates of the Supreme Court justices who have pondered the Second Amendment more than I.

the constitution is a living document and is subject to change based on cultural norms at the time. Simple example being the first amenment being weakened to accommodate the idea of somebody shouting "fire" in a crowded movie theater. Obviously our founding fathers could not forsee people congragating in mass numbers for commercial purposes and people shouting fire, so it was changed.

That does not change the originial purpose of the second amendment.

The original purpose of the second amendment was to protect citizens from the government. The second amendment is in the Bill of Rights and the Bill of Rights defines civil liberties. By definition civil liberties are rights/freedoms given to citizens that protect them from the government.

Obviously our founding fathers could not forsee people congragating in mass numbers for commercial purposes and people shouting fire, so it was changed.

That does not change the originial purpose of the second amendment.

The original purpose of the second amendment was to protect citizens from the government. The second amendment is in the Bill of Rights and the Bill of Rights defines civil liberties. By definition civil liberties are rights/freedoms given to citizens that protect them from the government.

smh, read a history book.

All they are doing is hurting themselves. doing a march with loaded guns is more of a threat then a statement. They want to show gun owners can be responsible people this is not going to do and if they do it then I don't think any of them should be allowed a firearm in the first place...BUNCH OF IDIOTS

[QUOTE="lo_Pine"][QUOTE="MakeMeaSammitch"]if you're in a miltia.

at the time the U.S. didn't have much of a military so that was written so that in the case of a war, a military could be build up much more quickly if people already had guns. 

Obviously that has no value today as we have the most powerful military by far.

Well neither you or I are Supreme Court Justices and obviously, in the history of the United States the Supreme Court has not ruled that the phrase of the Second Amendment that refers to a militia means that the rest of the Second Amendment restricts the right to bear arms to a militia. Personally, I do not feel as qualified enough to assume that I do not know the law as much as dozens of Ivy League graduates of the Supreme Court justices who have pondered the Second Amendment more than I.

the constitution is a living document

That is your opinion. Other believe the Constitution should be read and interpreted as the Founding Fathers meant when redacted. This would be the originalist view.

that's not an opinion, the supreme court has made changes hundreds of times since it's creation.

The constitution is constantly evolving; that is not opinion, that is fact!

[QUOTE="lo_Pine"] The second amendment states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." 'The right of the people' means every citizen of the USA has the right to bear arms just as 'the people' are defined in The Constitution, "We the people of the United States..."thegerg

No. It does not say that one musst be in a militia to have a gun. You seem to be very confused.

It's implied, grammer is just sketchy, if you look at the original drafts of the second amendment, they say basically what I did, but with better grammar and a passage about people rejecting military service on religious grounds.

yeah because going against the law and marching on washington with loaded rifles is a great way to prove you are responsible with firearms and that they shouldn't be banned.

some part of me thinks these pro-gun nuts want to provoke bloodshed, even if that's not what they're selling their gullible followers, I think they want that spark of armed resistance against the government and they want to push these people into violent confrontation so they can complain it was the oppression of a tyrannical government that's to blame and people should follow up with armed resistance and yadda-yadda

They can't legally protest in DC without a permit so expect the whole lot of them to be arrested when they show up. If it turns into a gunfight between them and law officials they'll have started it and the entire country is going to notice how stupid these kinds of wannabe revolutionaries are.
