Even The NRA Thinks Open Carry Texas Is Off Its Rocker
The NRA Slams Open Carry Groups In Texas, Calls Them ‘Weird’ (via FreakOutNation)
There is nothing more telling of the Open Carry groups in Texas than to have the National Rifle Association call them ‘weird’. In this one instance, I agree with the NRA and I’ll probably never be able to say that again. The NRA has a few other…

The NRA is a bunch of sissies who don’t understand America.
They are the new LIBERALS.

Not being a psychopath like you open carry numbnuts does not a sissy make. I think you’re a sissy because you think you need a gun to eat a burrito.

WaHOOOOO – the NRA and OCT are going to go to war with each other. The money vs the braindead? No contest. OCT is going to succeed in making people aware of how stupid they are, and businesses are not going to like how they are affected when PAYING customers take their families and walk out when OCT comes in.

What the NRA thinks they are too extreme, that’s rich since they created them.

Well, no. The NRA is made up of a bunch of entrenched bureaucrats who like nothing more than to be invited to the right parties in DC. For instance, NRA did not support Hellar, the case which caused the supreme court to affirm that bearing arms is a basic civil right.
The NRA is tired, worn out and passe. But they have a billion$. So, let ’em bark, as out of touch with the membership as they are they still cause opponents of liberty to spend money counteracting their message.
Chinese Democracy June 1st, 2014 at 20:33
“opponents of liberty” meaning sane? The idiotic rhetoric is so old and passe
Where did the Supreme court say that there are no limits whatsoever to the 2nd amendment?
so out of touch
Shootist June 1st, 2014 at 20:50
Agreed there are limits on firearms. 20,000 gun control laws on the books, enforce them.
Just don’t enforce them on the back of patriots and the law abiding.
Jimmy Miller June 1st, 2014 at 21:56
Do you really think owning a gun makes you a patriot? Pathetic.
Chinese Democracy June 1st, 2014 at 22:46
No he thinks using a gun against his own Gov makes him a patriot . I think hes a “Bundy Buddy ”
They have a facebook page
AMERICAN ARMED Posse to SAVE FREEDOM and The Bundy Ranch; MILITIA; OPERATION; “BUNDY FREEDOM”

I trust American patriots more than I trust the federal government, but, then again, so did Washington and Jefferson.

That’s what EVERYBODY says.
No one has a claim on the right to decide who is or is not a patriot.
Don’t forget, Washington WAS the federal government when he used the very well regulated militia to put down the Whiskey Rebellion, (who’s participants thought THEY were the patriots.)
Jimmy Miller June 2nd, 2014 at 11:09
Meanwhile, you’re trying to get your buddies in the Tea Party elected to offices (and failing miserably for the most part since 2012). Did you ever stop to ask yourself why people who claim to hate the government so much are trying so hard to get elected to the government? Do you really think it’s because they’re such great patriots? No, it’s because they want to dismantle the government and install their own fascist leaders who benefit no one but themselves and their rich benefactors like the Koch Brothers. Don’t be so naive.
Chinese Democracy June 2nd, 2014 at 13:30
That must be why they created a government.. your misuse of the word patriot is amusing.
Shootist June 2nd, 2014 at 15:28
heh. twist meaning all you wish. And tell me again how Washington and Jefferson were not patriots.
“But when things get so bad that a man ain’t hardly got no rights at all no more, but you might almost call him a slave, then everybody ought to get together and throw the grafters out, and put in new ones who won’t carry on so high and steal so much, and then watch them. This is the proposition the people of these Colonies is up against, and they have got tired of it, and won’t stand it no more. The administration of the present King, George III, has been rotten from the start, and when anybody kicked about it he always tried to get away with it by strong-arm work.” from The Declaration of Independence in American, by HL Menchen

It’s the patriot’s duty to throw the grafters out. and our Corporate State is made up almost entirely of conmen and grafters.
As I said above, I trust my neighbor more than the federal government. I trust the patriots will snuff out the rot that rules the nation.
mea_mark June 2nd, 2014 at 15:51
I sure hope you don’t think the republicans are patriots that are going to throw the grafters out, they are the worst grafters. Right now are best opportunity lies with slowly getting them out with the Democrats. If the justice party http://www.justicepartyusa.org/ ever gets enough power they might be better, but for now our best hope lies with progressive democrats.

No one is saying that.
They are saying that YOU are no more a patriot or like Washington and Jefferson than anyone else.
Everything that you quote above is what WE say about YOU.
Especially in the bedroom and in the womb.
That’s why we on the left fight for individual rights and liberties.
And by the way, we ARE the government, unless we cede power to the aristocracy.

Don’t be such an algore. Patriots own firearms, the firearm does not make the man.

“[A] right to carry arms openly: “This is the right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, and which is calculated to incite men to a manly and noble defence of themselves, if necessary, and of their country, without any tendency to secret advantages and unmanly assassinations.”” District of Columbia v. Heller, 128 S. Ct. 2783 – Supreme Court (2008) at 2809.
“Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose. For example, the majority of the 19th-century courts to consider the question held that prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons were lawful under the Second Amendment or state analogues.” District of Columbia v. Heller, 128 S. Ct. 2783 – Supreme Court (2008) at 2816.

I recognize one of the guys carrying an AK,and he’s been a Democrat for the 11 years I’ve known him. He hates guns and gun owners. I wonder who and how much he’s being paid to show up armed? He doesn’t even like Mexican food.

Its a shame to see rights in the US questioned and argued on the bases of irrational acts and extreme factors alone.
This is true for all of the rights not just the right to bare arms; in the past decade (and more) we have seen various rights sacrificed to quell stupidity, to provide comfort in times of fear and to restrict expression commonly seen as in appropriate. The specific occurrences are irrelevant the relevant factor is rapid change of the rights applied to citizens.
Should they change? apparently so they are a hot topic and this usually indicates a need for change but I hope we apply calm rational thought to the process and at the moment it seems more like fear mongering, extreme knee jerk reactions and blind adherence to the usual or the popular depending on your point of view.
I do hope Americans retain the right or at least ability to own and operate arms but mostly I hope we return to a rational and practical mind set when it comes to arms, speech, censorship, etc.
