Tea Party holds rally at the State Capitol in Montana (want guns allowed in off-limits areas) -pics

[Kadie]

Vince Vaccaro of Townsend, Mont. , sports his rifle during the Lewis and Clark Conservative Tea Party's "Constitution Rally", Friday, March 4, 2011, on the steps of the Sate Capitol in Helena, Mont. The Lewis & Clark's Conservative Tea Party group received permission to bring unloaded and secured weapons onto Capitol grounds to support allowing guns in off-limits areas. The organizer and conductor of the rally, Tim Ravndal, said the rally is about protecting Second Amendment rights by making legislators see and hear how important gun rights are.

6. The first guy certainly is. That was my first thought.

"My first chance not to be a pencil-dick."

And poor Cyndi looks like she either wears or wants one. "Strap it on, Cyndi."

Firearms, the new SUV (and I own both, but I have no doubts about my....)

Notice no one's standing near him -- & it isn't because of his big ol' gun.

19. LOL!

Thanks for your comment on Cyndi. I needed a good laugh!


"Firearms, the new SUV (and I own both, but I have no doubts about my....)"

OK, I'd like to take you at your word but I'm afraid I'll need to see some pics. ;)

[AtheistCrusader]

41. Projection.

2. Hey, lard-ass Cyndi, how quickly can you throw down with mittens on?

Those thing are way too bulky to work as shooters' gloves.

I think we should start staging Sex Toy Rallies and see what happens.

Sonoman

[AtheistCrusader]

42. These weapons are unloaded anyway.

3. Euww.

Those people are so creepy.

[fittosurvive]

18. This is definitely not a rally for those of us with cosmopolitan inclinations.

Even so, I support their freedom to vent in the light, as opposed to forcing them to conspire in the dark.

[Oneka]

27. well said.

These are the folks still willing to work within the system to bring about the restoration of gun rights.

God help us if they should fail, for then we will see the darker elements of gun rights advocacy on display.

[jpak]

31. Bullshit - they display their guns for political intimidation

yup

[Oneka]

40. Of course they do.

Politics is nothing more then naked force. Unions intimidate regularly, as do many other advocacy groups.

It has happened throughout our history in the USA, Read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deacons_for_Defense_and_Justice

No real political change happens here in America without at least the threat of force.

That 'gunz r fer huntin' thing? Doesn't fly with the majority of gun owners.

[jpak]

69. Then they should buy a hunting license when they register their guns

problem solved

yup

[X_Digger]

72. Only a few states register guns..

And that isn't likely to change.

Even so, there's a federal 11% excise tax on guns and ammunition- all owners pay that, and the proceeds go toward wildlife conservation.

You are in the minority, and it isn't likely to change any time soon.

You're out of touch with current gun owners. Go find a rocking chair and talk about the 'good old days'.

87. "solve" what "problem"?

Specifics, please....

[spin]

165. You can't register a firearm in Florida. It against the law...

790.335 Prohibition of registration of firearms; electronic records.

(1) LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND INTENT.--

(a) The Legislature finds and declares that:

1. The right of individuals to keep and bear arms is guaranteed under both the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and s. 8, Art. I of the State Constitution.

2. A list, record, or registry of legally owned firearms or law-abiding firearm owners is not a law enforcement tool and can become an instrument for profiling, harassing, or abusing law-abiding citizens based on their choice to own a firearm and exercise their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed under the United States Constitution. Further, such a list, record, or registry has the potential to fall into the wrong hands and become a shopping list for thieves.

3. A list, record, or registry of legally owned firearms or law-abiding firearm owners is not a tool for fighting terrorism, but rather is an instrument that can be used as a means to profile innocent citizens and to harass and abuse American citizens based solely on their choice to own firearms and exercise their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed under the United States Constitution.

4. Law-abiding firearm owners whose names have been illegally recorded in a list, record, or registry are entitled to redress.

[PavePusher]

88. What "problem"?

[bellcrank]

169. Maybe you should start with generalities...even though that will only get you crickets.

I have yet to see any rational response to your 'what problem' query...

94. Why is that a problem?

Go pull up a rocking chair beside Jpak and compare notes on the 'good old days'.

[SteveM]

147. Could you explain? Thanks. nt

[Oneka]

67. Do you beleive

that police and military should be stripped of their guns along with our "non hunting" citizens?

[jpak]

68. No - that's just plain stupid

try again

yup

[Oneka]

70. Imagine

the political intimidation if only the military, police, and a few hunters were "allowed" to own guns.

But must be protected no matter the source. anything less is advocating tyranny.

[Starboard Tack]

90. Agreed

Just curious as to why you would reference it here.

[Oneka]

93. just an example

of how quickly,in a mostly gun free society, unpopular free speech becomes unLAWFUL speech.

Geert Wilders, Rachel Maddow, Glen Beck, it doesn't matter who, when a government has a monopoly on force, those voices are quickly
silenced.

133. If you have guns for political reasons, you can leave them at home until the revolution.

What political purpose requires carrying guns into public parks, restaurants, bars, churches, and the like? Leave em at home.

[friendly_iconoclast]

137. If it's good enough for the Black Panthers, it's good enough for anyone else.

The Fourteenth Amendment- how does that work again?

[Hoyt]

138. You seem to have a real issue with the Black Panthers.

Not sure I understand, but I guess you do. This forum turns stranger and stranger.

[friendly_iconoclast]

141. Not the Panthers per se, but their status as "THOSE people, the ones that shouldn't have guns"

They scared the shit out of (or "caused moral harm to", if you like) parts of the white establishment, so one of their practices

was outlawed.


Something that hadn't been a problem became one when the "wrong" sort of people started doing it.

[Oneka]

142. Congratulations.

You've managed to attack 2 of my constitutionally protected rights, in one post.

Good thing for the rest of us, that Hoyt's, "political purpose" smell test, Is
not required to exercise our civil rights.

I don't recall granting you the authority to abuse any of my rights,
including the 1st and 2nd.

[SteveM]

148. It's probably his plan, alright. nt

[sabo_tabby]

166. What's with the "yup" thing?

Does it mean something I don't know about?

I knew a fellow once with Tourette's Syndrome who did that. But that was when he was speaking. I don't think it came across while typing.

I apologize if I'm accidentally making fun of your condition. I assure you offense is not willfully given.

[Starboard Tack]

79. Police - absolutely

Military, can't say I've seen any of them hangin' out in the mall carrying weapons lately.

[rl6214]

145. Uh, you didn't spell "yup" right. Try "yep." Or maybe its "yip." nt

143. Oh, c'mon. You don't care about the gun-control issue. It's about you. nt

[Starboard Tack]

78. And what would be the lighter elements?

[Oneka]

81. The NRA! nt

[Starboard Tack]

91. You must be joking

[GreenStormCloud]

129. The NRA believes in working within the system and does not advocate breaking any laws.

Some of the more radical of the pro-gun people are ready to do illegal things.

[PavePusher]

56. "not a rally for those of us with cosmopolitan inclinations"

That sounds rather patronising and elitist. Hopefully, just poor phrasing?

[SteveM]

150. Yeah, noticed that tired stereotype as well. Goes along with Town&Gown.

[PavePusher]

the idiot is not even supporting a Made In America firearm company.

I tell ya, guns will be the death of us all, unless of course they change the formula on catfood.

[Hoopla Phil]

37. See my post below #35. In addition it (the stock) most likely is made in

America for 922 compliance reasons.

[14thColony]

39. Your second sentence is an instant classic.

That might just have to become my new sig line, properly citing you of course.

[Flyboy_451]

53. actually, it is most likely a hardwood laminate

While they are an esthetically pleasing stock, they are also very utilitarian. They are made by laminating several layers of dense, hardwoods together with heat and epoxy type resins. This makes them far less susceptible to moisture invasion, softening of the wood and various other possible problems with tradition wood stocks.

JW

[PavePusher]

57. It could very well have been made in the U.S.

http://www.ak-47.us/USmade.php

[SteveM]

151. Ak 47s can be built anywhere. And are.

Please note that the rate of serious crime (including murder) has fallen for the last 15 years, even as the number of firearms in civilian hands has gone up by well over 100,000,000. This does not prove that "more guns = less crime," but it fails to prove the old hack expression (still adhered to by many centrist Democrats) "more guns = more crime."

My cat enjoyed dry formula and most of what I was eating. How about yours?

[Hoopla Phil]

35. Not exotic. It's just a plane jane laminated stock. I looks good just

because it is new. It's a very cheap way of making stocks - it's basically plywood.

97. Seems pretty obvious to me. But too many who promote gun carrying are accepting of such terrorists.

131. When you have to resort to smears, then you know you have lost.

Do you have proof that she is a member of the KKK? Nope. Didn't think so. But that didn't stop you from throwing the accusation around. Do you routinely call all gun carriers KKK members?

[SteveM]

157. Gun-controllers do the "smear" here everyday. They know they've lost.

The real question cows, et al should ponder is why they choose to unload here. Do they do this elsewhere with regularity, or is it just a proper "progressive" way to relieve some kind of hatred?

[teabaghater]

14. This teabagger bullshit

and the current affairs these days take me back a few years.....Does any of this sound kind of like what's happening today?

"A South politician preaches to the poor white man
"You got more than blacks, don't complain
You're better than them, you been born with white skin" they explain
And the Negro's name
Is used it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid
And the marshals and cops get the same
But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool
He's taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
'Bout the shape that he's in
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

From the poverty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks
And the hoof beats pound in his brain
And he's taught how to walk in a pack
Shoot in the back
With his fist in a clinch
To hang and to lynch
To hide 'neath the hood
To kill with no pain
Like a dog on a chain
He ain't got no name
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game."

[PavePusher]

85. "these people"....

What, exactly, do you mean by that phrase?

And what, exactly, do those pictures speak? Can you prove that those people fit the pejoratives that were used against them?

[Starboard Tack]

89. I asked if you identify with the folks in the pix

What the pictures speak to you is what I'm curious about. They make me feel sad, knowing that I live in a society where people behave like this. If they had been naked they would have been arrested, but brandishing lethal weapons is OK
Let's get real. Guns have their place and it's not at a political rally or demonstration. Sorry, but that's against the rules of any civilized society.

[PavePusher]

95. No-one was "brandishing".

You need to learn the proper nomenclature pertaining to bearing arms.

Also, please cite to these "rules" you speak of. Inquiring minds, etc....

[Starboard Tack]

110. Nomenclature? Don't brandish words you don't understand

Just like guns they can backfire.

Definition of NOMENCLATURE
1
: name, designation
2
: the act or process or an instance of naming
3
a : a system or set of terms or symbols especially in a particular science, discipline, or art b : an international system of standardized New Latin names used in biology for kinds and groups of kinds of animals and plants

Definition of BRANDISH
transitive verb
1
: to shake or wave (as a weapon) menacingly
2
: to exhibit in an ostentatious or aggressive manner
See brandish defined for English-language learners »
Examples of BRANDISH

1. She brandished a stick at the dog.
2. I could see that he was brandishing a knife.

[oneshooter]

111. " to exhibit in an ostentatious or aggressive manner"

I saw no "ostentatious or aggressive manner" in the photos. The nearest anyones hands were to the weapon was the fellow adjusting the sling placement on his shoulder.

Another FAIL.

Oneshooter

112. Just because you don't see it means I fail?

Are you a school teacher who feels the need to pass or fail people? Seems a little arrogant.

[PavePusher]

114. You fail because you can't explain it.

Yet you persist in your accusation. The arrogance (and ignorance) is yours, and yours alone.

[SteveM]

160. Your argument was effectively countered. Is that arrogant? nt

[PavePusher]

113. Please point out the "shake or wave (as a weapon) menacingly"...

or the "exhibit in an ostentatious or aggressive manner".

Hint: "bearing arms" is not inherently ostentatious or aggressive.

[rl6214]

119. Wrong and wrong

A gun cannot backfire, it can misfire and your definition of brandishing does not match the picture as they were not shaking or waving menacingly nor were they exhibiting in an ostentatious or aggressive manner.

Fail

[SteveM]

159. Guns shouldn't be "...at a political rally or demonstration?" Excuse me...

but there are numerous gun-control advocates who have armed bodyguards with them, at their rallies and elsewhere. See Bloomberg, Daly, Feinstein (she once packed), Jodie Foster (great actress), etc. They don't strike me as particularly uncivilized.

38. Thanks for the pictures and links. A few comments. . .

First I find the responses in your links to be very interesting. The contrast to the responses in this post is very enlightening.

Second is the first picture with all the long guns being held in the manor they are. That may be perceived as brandishing, though I'm not sure. I also note that the guns being carried at the Tea party event are all slung.

Thanks again for the post.

126. Don't get upset. This is how the Westboro school of gun control operates

If you think guns are evil, and you're on a mission to fight said evil, popularity is of little relevance.

Success is optional, as it is more important to be loudly and publicly on the "right" side of the issue.


The threats of dire consequences and claims of moral superiority go with the territory, and can be ignored as they

are articles of faith.

132. Yes, you did imply something

That you chose to include the word liberal bracketed in quotation marks is an obvious implication. You may, of course, assume any position on the RKBA, but at least have the courage to declare it plainly. Absurd and comical contortions such as "No implications. I made a direct reference to pro-gunners who enjoy such perverse photos." don't enhance your credibility.

168. you just provided me with another example of

gun control advocates are more about pearl clutching and regional bigotry and nothing about safe streets or civilized society, or any of those other lofty goals.
