Black Panthers Patroling Atlanta

[Duman]

In Atlanta, is it legal to open carry rifles and shotguns? As opposed to concealed carry of said weapons...

[Gman]

She calls modern semi-auto rifles, "like" the AR-15, "weapons of mass destruction".

A Democrat stating that George Bush did the right thing invading Iraq because they had "weapons of mass destruction"? Never thought I'd see that.

[GilpinGuy]

Do they stand there and bark at people?

Given that Abrams is on record supporting a bill that would require confiscation of so-called "assault weapons" the optics on this should be very bad.

But since she's a Dem, it'll never get enough coverage in the mass media to go critical.

Unfortunately that's the problem. Hardly anyone with a D voting, sees the hypocrisy of their party. Sure the one they support calls for ban's on, sooner or later, every gun. However for that way of thinking, it's always the older white man who's fault it is.

If your goal is to accumulate power at any cost, then arming your supporters with EBRs while denying same to your opponents isn't hypocritical in the least. Rather, it's a best practice.

Yay cultural marxism.

One of the many times the NRA supported gun control legislation was the Mulford Act, which was put forward because... ba dum tsss, the Black Panthers were open carrying rifles and shotguns. Ronald Reagan, that paragon of conservatism and 2nd Amendment rights (did I make you snort?) signed it into law while Goober of California.

Both Republicans and Democrats in California supported increased gun control, as did the National Rifle Association of America, a major supporter of the act. [9] Governor Ronald Reagan, who was coincidentally present on the capitol lawn when the protesters arrived, later commented that he saw "no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons" and that guns were a "ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will." In a later press conference, Reagan added that the Mulford Act "would work no hardship on the honest citizen."[10]

If it wasn't for the fact that NRA membership is required for range membership, I'd mail Wayne LaPierre a box of rotten dog shit spelling out "NRA".

Oh, I thought it was going to be this video https://twitter.com/i/status/1279758012954148866

Which is far worse than just some posers. Also another floating around of like 30+ marching down a street before this video was taken.

[Zundfolge]

Whats funny is there have been many photos taken of various "BLM militias" around the country, and invariably they're clearly untrained folk carrying Airsoft guns (one had a woman with a G36 next to some guy with a FAMAS, for example).

I'm just surprised to find out that the brotha's from the hood LARP and cosplay as much as middle class white kids.

Last I saw on da' net was a 1,000 National Guard was called into Atlanta. The video was comical. Seems like it would be very uncomfortable dressed in spandex carryin' 2 AR's and dressed in all black. 90+ temps and the humidity? Serious? In the deep south? And the popo are 100 yards down the street? WTF is going on there?
