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)

True.
That's why we're not taking you seriously.
au contraire. if you want to draw parallels to 1775, carry
flintlocks and wear wigs.
such a hurt to my feelings.
You have a case of reflex PC.
And if you want to exercise your free speech rights you need to find a hand-cranked printing press?
Get real.
Yes, I suspected that you had a surfeit of them. Most liberals do.
Only liberals and left wing Democrats, like you, only think that this is a nut case behavior. Just think how many people in the US that are really armed? I will give it swag,(scientific wild ass guess) say 180-200 million or better. Can you argue with that?
Will someone enlighten me. What law did Barack Hussein Obama sign that granted a “right to be armed” in national parks. I understood that it was at the urging of Senators and Congresspersons that the Secretary of the Interior decided to update the regulations. Following public input and hearings on the regulations; the department instituted the updated regulations. I recall no new law. Please help me out on this.
If people OPENLY showing that they are willing and able to use force to halt tyranny is going to be seen by leftscum as a threat of violence, then the people doing so aren’t the problem...
I bet liberals could come with an excuse every day of the week for why conservatives shouldn’t do something. Go hide under your bed.
So no one can tell me who is the likely target of these guns? Is it just general intimidation?
They sure look like they’d like to shoot someone.
They aren’t even very pretty guns.
Maybe you would prefer this:
Sure I’ll argue. I’m not a liberal or a dem and I own a sh!tload of guns.
Don’t be such a kneejerk.
I cannot see the upside of parading hardware like that in public, and this doesn’t make me a liberal or any other
name the thought-impaired in thios forum might grasp onto
in lieu of a real counter argument.
Is Rahm Emanuel lurking on FR again??????
No, no one is going to make threats on this board. Sorry little troll.
And it's not intimidation either. It's an exercise of a sovereign, Constitutionally-protected right.
They sure look like they’d like to shoot someone.
Wow, your ignorance and idiocy really does know no bounds, does it?
They aren’t even very pretty guns.
Well, I've never been a big fan of Stoner's design either but then, I know a thing or two about rifles.
But just for you...
Better?
HA!!!
still waiting for a cogent argument from you. apparently name calling is all you are capable of.
I respectfully disagree:
1) There is now way to ever win approval of the left.
2) It is our right.
3) Sic Semper tyrannis is the VA state Motto - as Obama said, ‘words should have meaning”
“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interests, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can, and undoubtably will, be recalled.” - Geo Washington
Please note George Washington did not call the people his “Subjects”.
Molon lave!
