Carrying loaded pistols and unloaded rifles, dozens of gun-rights activists got as close as they could Monday to the nation's capital while still bearing arms and delivered what they said was a simple message: Don't tread on me.

Hundreds of like-minded but unarmed counterparts carried out a separate rally in the nation's capital.

The gun-carrying protesters in Virginia rallied on national park land, which is legal thanks to a new law signed by President Barack Obama that allows guns in national parks. Organizers said it's the first armed rally in a national park since the law passed.(continued)

Stupid and mistimed. Ammunition for the “Tea Partiers are Nuts” crowd, especially on the anniversary of the Okla City
bomb.

Oh, so OKC is just the anniv of OKC? Lexington and Concord ring a bell? Waco?

You play into the libtard’s hands when you adopt their language of what is allowed and polite, or not.

Kerensky was oh-so-polite in the Russian Duma in 1917. Parliamentary procedure to the T. Look where his politeness got him.

Good enough, then.....a right not exercised isn’t a right. I’m not advocating violence, but it is not out of the realm of possibility that this government will drop all pretext of pseudo democratic/republic stewardship of the peoples’ business and get down to brass tacks - subjugation, is what they really intend...

**Carrying loaded pistols and unloaded rifles,**

Someone at the first TeaParty in DC Carried a Sign.. “We’re Here UNARMED ... THIS TIME”

I’m just sick and tired of the quote from the Liberal WOMAN(probably WHITE) Proclaiming .that we Don’t NEED to be carrying that close ..yada yada yada.

IF DC keeps it up..

Well, if 0dumbo thinks it’s okay to be armed in a National Park, who am I to complain?

Stupid and mistimed.

WRONG. Perfectly timed. This is the anniversary of Lexington and Concord. This government needs to remember, as we showed Britian, that We the People will NOT be disarmed. You do realize that "The British are coming! The British are coming!" was about the British coming to take the colonists' arms, right?

Agreed.

Consider that it's also the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, the election of Pope Benedict XVI, the explosion of the No. 2 gun turret on the USS Iowa, the sentencing of Charles Manson, and the day that Lincoln ordered the blockade of Confederate ports.

When we let the left make the rules, they always win. They can't have April 19th. Patriots won't let them have it.

How is posing with a gun going to help throw Dems out of office? Most normal people think this is nutcase behavior.

A few fringe nutcases aren’t going to influence anyone.

Actually, the Lexingtonians and Concordians still considered themselves British subjects at the time. They wouldn't have said, "The British are coming."

More likely, "The lobsta backs are coming!"

;)

Other than that, your point is right on.
