A visual aid to demonstrate why we must never and will never be disarmed.

That's what happens when you don't have a 2nd Amendment.

Having to take a fake gun to a gunfight.

I hope he makes it. He looks worried.

I wish we could do like the N.R.A. did at the beginning of WWII, organizing its members to send all their spare firearms to the British Home Guard.

Put a target on that man's back.

I understand his passion. But carrying a toy gun in is not going to intimidate anyone. It's just going to get him killed.

Never, never, never bring a toy gun to a real gun fight! Unless you have an overpowering death wish.

Regards, and I hope he made it home OK.

With all the gun runners/dealers in this world, why can't someone finance the trip of a few weapons across one of the desolate, unwatched borders into Iran?

I'd do it myself, but I'm old and too tired.

In a country without a “2nd Amendment”, all that toy gun does is make that guy holding it a target of opportunity for the secret police.

This is an extremely foolish thing to do. He will likely be shot ... by someone (islamic gestapo, no doubt) with a real gun.

Brandishing toy firearms in front of police anywhere is an invitation to be blown away.

Exactly. It is really foolish to pretend to have a gun.

He looks worried because he is being phtographed. He is now rather certain to be recognized, arrested, and sent to a concentration camp.

The people behind him have a few rocks to throw. Again, this is totally inadequate weaponry.

Not very smart to put yourself in danger like that. These people must be desperate.

Having his uncovered mug pasted all over the internet to be seen by members of the Basiji & Iranian Thugocracy has most likely already marked him, his house, and his family for death, or at best, arrest & torture.

No doubt. But he can always 'HOPE' Obammy will step in and save him.

What's with the masks?

Pig flu?

Allegra, have you been handling little Mexican kids who tend pigs again?
