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.
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.
