I think the point is to challenge unconstitutional laws like the NFA and normalize the right to bear arms in every capacity. If we continue to allow people to consider our constitutional rights a public disturbance, and allow a militarized police state to bully us into submission then we've failed. The fact that you quote his firearm as being a "pistol" and without hesitation declare short barreled rifles illegal is cringy. The only fools are the people sitting behind their keyboards mocking a guy who is actively protesting for your rights. I don't have to agree with everything he says or does to acknowledge he's taking more initiative than any of you are by ganging up on him and snickering. It's the typical fudd clique mentality that has accelerated the slippery slope we're knee deep in.

I already know how you're going to respond to this post. Who does this guy think he is, with one post, coming in here and disagreeing with us? We've been here for over a decade and everyone agrees with our opinions. This is OUR echo chamber. I know what'll work. Ban me. Then you won't have anyone to challenge you.

I don't recall anyone being banned for having a different opinion on any topic. Matter of fact if you have been viewing the forum from afar you already know that there is constant disagreement on the forum. All depends on your approach. Referring to members as fools may not be the best approach, but that's your choice. Now I'm not sure how the mods would respond to anyone asking to be banned.

All too often "Open Carry Advocates" do more harm to our Rights than good.
Walking through a public area packing like Wyatt Earp is a foolish endeavor and you get what you deserve.
"Dont start no shit, wont be no shit." comes to mind.
Reminds me of a former member we had who was an adamant "Open Carry" type. He got all wrapped around the axle because Arvada PD contacted him when he was at King Soopers. He was OCing and some soccer mommy called PD because of a man with a gun.
Don't bring it upon yourself and if you insist, be mature enough to handle what cometh.
If your up hiking in the hills, OC is appropriate. In an urban area, dumbass thing to do.
Your not "Educating" anybody on the 2nd Amendment walking around looking like a complete fucktard OCing.

Welcome to the forum, you won’t find many fudds here, and a lot of people here have done a lot more to defend the second amendment than you might imagine.

Causing the public to panic and tying up police resources to make a point is pretty much pointless, he educated no one on second amendment rights, but he did manage to provide an example of whacko gun owners to those that would normally be pretty neutral.

We have 2 people that open carry at my church every Sunday, no one has made a deal out of it, but I guarantee you that if either walked in with an AR pistol, there would be some concerned folks.

Well, if you continue with that attitude, I'm hopeful this was your last post, too.

I happen to agree with everything you said up until the point you started calling those with a differing opinion fools and fudds. You have no idea who does what to support the 2A at various levels on this forum unless you're out there with them when they do it. And then you pretend to know exactly how everyone's going to respond is just the epitome of arrogance and ignorance. You obviously don't know this group very well. If you've been lurking at all you sure as hell haven't been paying attention. There is at least one very pro 2A state representative that occasionally posts here. There are people that have spent countless hours at the state house lobbying for 2A causes. There are people here that have spent countless hours getting signatures for petitions and other causes that support the 2A.

So what have you done besides come here and piss people off?

How is that any different than the LGBT crowd shoving their gross lifestyle down our throats until it became normal?

I love seeing people open carry and the looks they get from irrational snowflakes. Much like I still give the grossed out look to the LGBT freaks. I also love seeing the look of my lib neighbors when I carry uncased ARs to the truck, cause concealed carry of rifles is technically illegal.

Absolute needless provocation. Those officers were not responding with intent to harass the videographer. They were responding to a concern, called in by a citizen about a man in a park with a non holstered firearm. I have respect & empathy for those officers & applaud them for the restraint & courtesy they afforded that man from the go.

What is the difference between this person, doing nothing illegal and following the law, exercising his rights to ensure the rights remain and say, the US Navy exercising freedom of navigation operations in waters claimed by China in the South China Sea or exercising freedom of navigation operations in the Caspian Sea?

Is the USA assholes for enforcing our rights using Military ships in areas that are claimed by other countries?

As the police. They argument is he shouldnt do it because they swarmed and came in hot. The police's over-reaction to a situation is on them not on the person who is doing nothing illegal. They even used the excuse that people are trying to kill police with rifles. Again, the over re-reaction is on them. How do they jump from someone carrying a pistol legally, to the person being a cop-killer?

If any side were the side acting unreasonably, I would say look at which side was the placing blame for their actions on the other side. That is generally a good indication which side acted incorrectly.

So the only time Police should respond with a heightened sense of safety is if the call comes to them as man with a gun firing it at people? Regardless of legal/not legal, it is NOT normal in 99% if America to stroll through an urban area with a long gun, much as we might wish it were. People doing it think they are creating positive dialogue and social change, but guaranteed, they are in fact doing the opposite.

What the US and PRC Navies do over contested seas has almost nothing to do with this discussion, but since you want to draw parallels, if the Chinese felt threatened enough and acted in an aggressive manner, we could easily wind up at War with them. In essence a zero positive outcome.

If the Police ignore all but verified legitimate calls of ?Man with Gun?, as in someone literally killing folks, and treat other calls of man holding a rifle in a public park the same as a call of ?Man holding newspaper? how do you think that will work out?

Would YOU walk into a bank wearing a ski mask?
Stand on a street corner and scream random things at passers by?
Walk into a Police station wearing a shirt that said ?F$&? The PO-Lice??

No? Why not? Because they?re stupid things to do, Zero positive outcome events.

The Chinese do feel threatened.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-china-military/china-condemns-us-for-south-china-sea-freedom-of-navigation-operation-idUSKCN1MC04F

"China’s Defence Ministry said a Chinese naval ship had been sent to warn the U.S. vessel to leave.

The ministry said China has irrefutable sovereignty over the South China Sea islands and the waters around them, and the situation there is progressing well thanks to the hard work of China and countries in Southeast Asia.

“The U.S. side repeatedly sends military ships without permission into seas close to South China Seas islands, seriously threatening China’s sovereignty and security, seriously damaging Sino-U.S. military ties and seriously harming regional peace and stability,” the ministry said."


The big difference between the two situations who has more might.

If China thought they could get away with attacking the ship (think USS Pueblo) they would.

The equivalent situation is if 200 OCer descended on the park and clearly had the force advantage over the police.

A good example is the Pro- OC protests in Boulder. The police

https://denver.cbslocal.com/2018/04/22/gun-rights-rally-boulder/

https://www.dailycamera.com/2018/04/21/pro-gun-demonstrators-rally-in-downtown-boulder-against-assault-weapons-ban/

The police left them alone because they were armed and didnt have a huge force disparity. The police even admitted this.


"Boulder police Sgt. Alastair McNiven said that there was some “education” provided to demonstrators by police regarding the code, but no one was ticketed for an open carry violation.

“With the limited resources available, we monitored the event in order to prevent a breach of the peace,” he said."


So obviously, the "man with a gun argument in urban areas" falls flat on its face as soon as the police arent the ones with over whelming force.


It is 100% like freedom of navigation operations.

Did the Boulder protesters have a permit? I seriously doubt they were given a permit.

And if you have to have a permit to protest the government, is it a right or is it a privilege?

Either they are doing something illegal or they are not. A bunch of people doing something illegal doesnt make it legal because they are in a group. A single person doing something legal doesnt make it illegal because they are not in a group.

What is the difference between a group of people armed with rifles and a single person with a rifle (or in this case a pistol)?

There are different levels of reaction that are warranted in different circumstances. Not every interaction required swarms of police coming in pointing guns at people. The police chose their reaction and investigation technique. That is on them.

You (we) have come to tolerate that police can do whatever they want when they are profiling based upon 2A.

How do you think it would would be portrayed if I called police because I saw a black man walking in my neighborhood at 11pm? I would be called a racist and police would not investigate. But where I live, that is rare and would be "weird".

Why are we supposed to accept this "weird" behavior, so as to not be racist, but we are not to accept someone with a firearm.

Keep in mind there are 10 enumerated rights. 2A is one of them. Strict scrutiny applies.

Why do you think this only has to do with 2A? We have come to tolerate that police can do whatever they want in any situation. That you would assume it is a 2A specific issue is your own personal blindspot. Blindspot is not the correct word, perhaps tunnel vision is better.

I think we can at least all agree that The Clash's Combat Rock was a great album.

London Calling was beter.

He should test those 1st amendment rights by saying something about an explosive device while going through airport screening.

I think the point is to challenge unconstitutional laws like the NFA and normalize the right to bear arms in every capacity. If we continue to allow people to consider our constitutional rights a public disturbance, and allow a militarized police state to bully us into submission then we've failed. The fact that you quote his firearm as being a "pistol" and without hesitation declare short barreled rifles illegal is cringy. The only fools are the people sitting behind their keyboards mocking a guy who is actively protesting for your rights. I don't have to agree with everything he says or does to acknowledge he's taking more initiative than any of you are by ganging up on him and snickering. It's the typical fudd clique mentality that has accelerated the slippery slope we're knee deep in.

I already know how you're going to respond to this post. Who does this guy think he is, with one post, coming in here and disagreeing with us? We've been here for over a decade and everyone agrees with our opinions. This is OUR echo chamber. I know what'll work. Ban me. Then you won't have anyone to challenge you.

Still hasn't been banned by anyone on staff.

It does seem like JHW87 banned themselves. It isn't very hard to join the board, but I'm not sure I understand how it is worth it to join just to make one post and then walk away. But it seems like we may never know.

In general I am pretty libertarian when it comes to 1st and 2nd Amendment Audits. Done well, they can serve a useful purpose to educate and condition a less extreme response to what otherwise is a legal, Constitutionally protected activity. Some auditors are obviously not well educated and are just looking to provoke a bad response. Here is an audit I consider to be pointless and not at all worth the time it takes to watch. Enjoy!
