I live an hours drive away and hear a lot about it on the tv. My mom was half serious about saying she should have protestors camping out at the farm. I told her to not go there, ain't worth all that drama basically. I do hope things go smoothly! There is bound to be some drama tho!
Obviously everyone who shows up with a gun will be a responsible, God-fearing gun owner. Guns dont kill people, people do. And there's no reason to expect anyone in an open carry region to be a batshit crazy gun owner at all. Also, lets not forget someone could easily show up with a machete and kill 30 people within minutes just as easily as with a gun! And of course if someone does show up and start shooting there won't be any confusion at all and the good guy with a gun will immediately kill the bad guy with a gun. Its the american way.
Maybe the party's platform will be to do away with the entire constitution except the 2nd amendment. Its not like anyone cares about all those other pointless amendments anyways!
It's that there will be extremely opposite groups carrying weapons. The black panthers said they would be carrying. It's going to be a Hoot!
So when things get really tense and shit's about ready to hit the fan.... Somebody please set off an M-80. Yeah, That'd be great.
Just make sure anyone remotely Muslim looking is wearing a taxi driver or 7 Eleven uniform, and no back packs
According to Republican Mark Sanford Trump said he wants to protect Article I, Article II, and Article XII, going down the list.... of the Constitution
Why do liberals support government having guns but not citizens? Open carry is not a bad thing, and besides, if anyone incites violence at the RNC it will be white millennial trendies or Black Lives Matter retards (or just paid government provocateurs). So far most of the aggression and cry baby tactics I have seen hasn't been coming from Trump supporters, but rather Trump opposers.
Knock knock, why do they? Kinda hard to generalize people into broad groups. I have known plenty of people who are liberals and own firearms.
Because 99% of the people who post in the Politics forum on this website identify themselves as liberal, and most liberals see guns as inherently evil, except when the cops and military use them to kill people. Funny how I never hear people on this website talk about the militarized police dressed like stormtroopers, carrying AR-15s, who will be littering the streets of Cleveland during the convention, but pistols in the hands of ordinary people are bad. But of course you can trust Big Brother because they're going to keep you safe.
That statement I could agree with if conservative was used for the last part. It's liberals that are protesting the police brutality not conservatives. Liberals want some sort of gun control and they have gotten that over the years. I cannot own a gun for several reasons and liberals brought that. I don't complain about it. What am I going to do with a gun anyways? Ammo is costly and I don't really care to shoot animals. I got to shoot plenty of targets when I was a kid and it's not all that.
I think most of the people who support guns for people in function like cops and not for every other citizen is because the people in function are expected to follow the guidelines that come with the job. When they don't use their gun appropriately you see these people get angry and vocal against 'government having guns' as well. But the criticism should be targeted appropriately, just because some cops abuse their gun privileges doesn't mean no cop should have a gun. With fellow citizens there seems enough reasonable concern to at least have them have the same tests and checks as people in function when they want a gun (and they don't need to be able to get every kind of gun a person that is working in the military gets to use). It is not about gubberment guns, citizens no guns You mean 'the media'? Interesting
Don't be smart Asmo. Yes it's the media! The issue is that there are going to be a lot of heated people and heated people and fire arms don't end well. Meanwhile the media seems pretty stupid about it. They can't wait for the ratings once the shit hits the fan.
I'm not sure about that, but if that is so it might be because of the news items and statitistics of gun abuse by police: if the far majority of that is done with a regular gun and the assault rifles are merely/mainly used as intended then that is not the primary issue. Just speculating though! Acknowledged But when you say things like 'I've been hearing a lot about it on tv' or 'they make you watch parades all day' (from the top of my head, you worded it differently I know) you can't blame other people for wondering that is curious for someone who claims he hasn't any trust in the medium.
I don't know of anyone proposing a complete ban on guns for citizens...but this is the charge always made against those who only want stronger, saner, gun laws. Open carry can be a bad thing as it allows those who intend to use a weapon illegally to walk around unchallenged with something like a loaded assault gun.
I dont trust any human being enough to feel comfortable with open carry. Humans are bat shit insane in case no one has noticed. Also I dont know any liberals who want to completely disarm citizens while suporting the militarization of the police. Most liberals are for common sense gun control and the demilitarization of police.
Using hyperbola to describe a debate on gun control gets us nowhere. I've never seen anyone around here describe guns as inherently evil. Now let's consider why the police have become militarized. Can anyone think of a reason? Maybe we should think of that one brave cop who used his service pistol to confront the latest shooter who was armed with a SIG, loaded with armor piercing bullets, the cop shot him after being fired upon and then discovered the shooter had on a bullet proof vest and his round just bounced off. Now what happened to that cop? Why I believe he was shoot in the back, without the benefit of a bullet proof vest which wouldn't have stopped the bullet anyway, and then executed on the ground with 3 or 4 more rounds. That's why the cops will be carrying AR-15s in Cleveland. The neo black panthers will be armed and who knows who else. In Dallas there were 20 to 30 open carry vigilantes walking around at the time of the shooting who had vowed to protect the crowd. The police have said that that greatly confused the situation as they didn't know who were the good guys and who the bad. I didn't see them do shit to stop the bad guy. So in Cleveland anyone, who wishes to do harm can just march in with a loaded SIG walk to the center of any crowd and open fire...and the cops can't do shit until he actually fires, at adults, kids, cops, whatever. Or any group! What's to stop 10 individuals from walking in with their own AR-15s and killing, and killing, and killing. Why not just give the cops billy clubs, or maybe their old .38 cal revolvers? This gentleman and ladies is insanity.
