Adam Kokesh armed march on DC

[Barrex]

You're conceding the argument that "black scary assault rifles" are somehow different than other arms if you acquiesce to the notion that they shouldn't be carried in public because of peoples' sensitivities. You've already lost the argument at that point, in my opinion.

This is like the people that are against OC in general because "someone might not like it and make a fuss, and hurt all other gun owners".

So if they went with water guns they are conceding that any weapon including muskets shouldnt be carried in public....

Logical fallacy.

By doing one thing you dont concede any other thing.

 

[fr33]

I've never cared to look into it but are there even a thousand muskets in existence?

 

[rich34]

I tweeted Adam the musket idea. I really love it. Fucks up the left's narrative, to be sure!

Wow, I hope nothing goes wrong.

 

[Deborah K]

I think the Oath Keepers should stand with Adam on this.

 

[tod evans]

I think the Oath Keepers should stand with Adam on this.

I agree, and if they don't the entire group has been shown as being for nothing more than lip-service to the constitution..

3% in name only, otherwise they would have done stuff like this on the day they organized.

3% in name only, otherwise they would have done stuff like this on the day they organized.

This is yet to be proven one way or the other. You may be right... or not. I would give the "3%" some marginal and provisional benefit of doubt as their time has not yet come to fullness of bloom. Circumstance to test them is not quite yet upon us, though it now seems very close to threshold. I have no idea, for example, how I will prove out in all of this. Will I face the danger and follow my ideals or will I be just another coward who lays down when we come to brass tacks?

What I do know is that I want the issue settled, come what may. This waiting around for the hammer to drop is very irritating and I want it to stop.

Also bear in mind that the 3% are just that - a tiny subset of an otherwise reticent and willfully self-deluding population of all-too-typical human beings whose basic good nature that wishes no harm has gone awry to the degree that they ignore the alligator chewing on their nuts because they simply do no want to believe there is evil of a sort afoot in their own house. The smart money must bide time until conditions are so acutely awful that even the human ostriches will be obliged to acknowledge reality. Once that happens, the 3% will have grown and have the support of the larger population... or at least not have their enmity. Without the aid of the rats, this government will never be able to contain the people of this nation. Let the deterioration pass a point and even the dumbasses will have to reevaluate their positions and world views. When those bail on the Master, he will be in some deep kimchee.

Didn't Kokesh say he was only going to do this if it got to 10,000 by June 1? At its current pace, it won't make it.

 

[Anti Federalist]

After 200 years of treatment like that, why ANYBODY would volunteer to serve this system is beyond me...

Keep this in mind... government and the brainwashed enforcement squads, don't care about Americans, they care about their power, their paychecks, their benefits, their retirements, their elite privileged status, especially above the law status. They will conjure-up any type of excuse to control and maintain power, they will use every single avenue of Fascist media they are prepared and partnered with, to label any type of protestor as terrorist/threats/un-American and steer the clueless/zombized/ignorant public against those that protest for the Rights of the US Constitution/Freedoms/Liberty for all.

e.g. Where's all the 100,000s of anti-war protestors on the left?

The indicator: No Corporate media on the air waves has covered the Kokesh Protest March plans 'so-far', I betcha anything... every single one of those Propaganda Media Outlets will be there covering it July 3/4/5th. The Spin Doctors will be in full force.

Example: Recent Boston terror plan; Imperial Storm troopers, pointing automatic weapons and forcing people at gunpoint out of their homes. Even after all the lock downs, rights violations, terrorizing militarized government squads, those bonehead Bostonian idiots were cheering those same SWAT forces with their convoys of weaponized amour vehicles/tanks/forced upon people.

Don't think government and their terror squads don't have their plans readied? They have plan after backup plan readied, and they will use Media propaganda to discredit all of those involved, even when it's apparent that government is at fault. They have immunity and will use any type of force with impunity.

History does repeat when it usually comes oppressive/tyrannical governments. They use you and once your usefulness expended, they abuse you out to pasture with ponzi schemes like Social Security & Medicare

we still hunt with muskets.
muzzle-loaders, 50 cal.

 

[JK/SEA]

Closing in on 4,000.

3,804

side note: there very well could be 10,000 going at this point already. They may not answer the rsvp and have just decided to go.

quoted from first page:

If this page gets to 10,000 attendees by June 1st, & we have the critical mass necessary to pull this off, (1,000 actual attendees) we will march.

Wow Barf....There are some seriously sick people on democratic underground: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022814390. You can just feel the power of the state coming off in every post, especially when they talk about the power of the police and the 0 % chance of going across the bridge.

Get as many in one place as possible and push the "eradicate" button.

I don't want them to go to prison, because I don't want to waste scarce tax dollars feeding them. I just want them to lose all their guns and have to answer yes to "have you ever been convicted of a felony".

Also consider: if we throw them in prison they'll think they're Martin Luther Kings of the gun rights movement, going to jail for what they believe in, and doing stupid shit like this will become routine. Massive humiliation - having their guns thrown into a dump truck on the six o'clock news and not being able to get a good job - is a better punishment.

Let's just treat them as "Enemy Combatants" and show them the true meaning of what happens to insurrectionists with the full might of the US military.

I would say cognitive dissonance. However, by definition, that would infer a discomforting feeling. What is it when one holds conflicting views and feels comfort in their beliefs?

Sadism, at least in this case anyway...

Adam Kokesh announced an armed march on Washington D.C. this July 4th. The march is billed as a "peaceful" protest, rifles slung over the shoulders of those who participate. "Is Adam Kokesh courageous, or crazy?" Well Maybe not so crazy check this out..

In a landmark court case decided five years ago (District of Columbia vs. Heller), the U.S. Supreme Court essentially ordered D.C. to honor the Second Amendment and protect an individual citizen's right to carry a loaded firearm. The Supreme Court decision specifically struck down the portion of previous laws that required all firearms to be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock."

Yet, to this day, Washington D.C. authorities have still not honored this decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. This means it is the DC police who are, in fact, violating the law if they choose to arrest Adam Kokesh for exercising his rights as clearly described in the Heller decision by the court.

c'mon guys. Those posters on the DU have only just recently figured out what to do with their sex organs. Well, most of them anyway. Those are the smarter ones.

Logical fallacy.

By doing one thing you dont concede any other thing.

I suppose I should have been clearer. I wasn't stating you're conceding a logical argument, as you seem to suppose. Rather, I'm stating you're conceding the argument in terms of public perception, which as we are likely both well aware is usually anything but logical.

If you concede on issues of perception you typically never get the tough questions asked in a way that allows for an actual logical discussion. That's been my experience, anyway.
