Moms Demand SWATting: A disturbing trend on the fringes of the gun-control movement
The National Review ^ | October 2, 2014 | Charles C. W. Cooke

‘You see a GunFilth waving its penis substitute, exit, call police. Armed robbery in progress.” So wrote Twitter user “Little Black Dog” on September 13 of this year.

The injunction was a particularly colorful one, but the idea behind it, alas, is not as uncommon as one might wish. “I see you #opencarry with a gun in public,” a man named “joe villa” threatened earlier this week, “i’m calling the cops. psycho behaving erratic. make your day.” A translation for the more literate among us: “The law be damned; exercise your rights under the law and I’ll threaten your life.”

“Take a look through the comments threads on Moms Demand Action’s Facebook page,” Bearing Arms’s Bob Owens tells me, “and you’ll see a lot of this.” “Not,” he clarifies, from the leaders of the group. But it is a mindset popular among the followers. On there, on the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence — ironically — and on GunFreeZone.net, you’ll notice commenters advocating that people call the police and exaggerate what is going on, hoping to get the cops to come in....

Without eventually putting ‘that awkward phase’ behind us, the nation will never recover.

If firearms are in fact, some type of Freudian icon for the human penis, what does that say about those who demonstrate an inordinate and irrational fear of them?

This may sound bad but why are people like this not the ones who are getting their heads chopped off?

That freako in Oklahoma would have decapitated a second woman if it had not been for the COO of the company having a gun and shooting the head chopper.

LOL, excellently asked.

It deserves to be asked frequently.

sounds kind of like yelling fire in a crowded theater if you ask me which is, of course, illegal. Here in Ohio, it's called "inducing panic" and it starts out as a first degree misdemeanor; however, if economic harm or physical harm results, it moves up to a felony charge.

2917.31 Inducing panic.

These ahole nut jobs need to be hunted down and dealt with.

Filing a false police report is a crime.

The law be damned eh? Guess to these fascists they get to pick and choose which laws are obeyed. We don’t get to exercise our rights, they get to file a false report. It is exactly because of “I know better than you” types like this that the founding fathers put so many constraints on our government (which it is slowly breaking free from). Yes, people like this guy are why we have the bill of rights, to protect us from him, and if necessary, give us other recourse should that become necessary.

They should be careful what they start. Someone might report them as carriers of Ebola. Watch how the FedGov “swats” them and everyone they know. Watch how everyone they know turns on them.

Every pro-2ND attorney in the country is probably saving files and screenshots of those posts while drooling over their keyboard.

It's a legal-beagle lottery win if they pick up a client that was harassed in this way and they have a matching screenshot or the account can be traced to the phobic nutjob that made the false accusation.

Good luck with that in Idaho, Mr. Rape-My-Daughter-Please. They would just laugh.
