I'm against it. But I couldn't request law enforcement when I know it's legal. In other words, I don't have to like it.
You are right in that both parties accept support/voters anywhere they can get them from anyone no matter how vile they are. It's one of many reasons I support neither party. The 2 parties are both funded and run by evil anti-American sociopathic billionaires. I voted for Bernie in the Dem Primary and Trump in the Final mainly because neither belonged to either party.
IRL, I'm sure the person who plays Maris61 is a democrat. Much like Carrol O'Conner played a bigoted racist xenophobe on All in the Family, but in real life he was very liberal and progressive.
No it is not just you. The intimidation part is spot on. The guns are not really the issue. It the attempt to intimidate in an election. Who would want to live in a place like that where jack booted fuckers want to take the aura of peaceful elections away from American Citizens. In a rare instance of agreeing with Lanny, it is menacing, so off to jail with the assholes.
Here's where I respectfully disagree...whose basis is it "intimidating"? There was an instance a couple of years ago (IIRC) where a man in Portland just open carried his long arm (can't remember if it was a rifle or shotgun, but it wasn't a pistol) outside of a school zone. Multiple people called the police on a guy just exhibiting his rights. Those teachers and parents, I'm sure, felt "intimidated" but it would've infringed on this guy's rights. In this case, once you make it subjective you're at the whim of whoever happens to be the arbiter, and once it's not the Law, you're going downhill, imo. "Shall not be infringed" seems key. In this case, I don't feel that these folks are intimidating people. And at least they've done some homework.
I've always been extremely socially-liberal, more so nowadays than in my youth. Peruse my early Obama-era posts and you'll see I voted for him and defended most of his social policies. I have all kinds of friends from all walks of life and I defend their right to be whomever they want to be. It's the American Dream, and it's the definition of Personal Freedom. I am not a progressive. The word progressive means "step by step change" which is how overthrows of free countries happen. The Constitution is the most liberal document of rights ever written, and the Dem party's attempts to weaken it are "progressive". It's one reason I left the extremely oppressive Dem party and voted for the more liberal Trump. I'm also a non-interventionist and a proponent for limited government, as the Constitution intended. This is why I reject both parties.
In my opinion not a great idea to run around armed, and if I were king it would not be an option, but I'm not king, have no plans to be king, and do not play king on TV. barfo
agree 100%. Id rather have these guys doing this and being civil within their rights, than anarchist harassing kids and setting the flag on fire and busting windows because they hate cops and America.
Here's where we differ, I aspire to be King. I'm King at the dinner table and my wife gave me permission to say that.
That might work in a Monarchy such as GB, where the enslaved cower in obedience. King is just another word for slave master.
