I guess we’ll see if it sets a precedent.

I must say that armed sexual deviants trippin’ balls is a bad combo.

Stupid little things like this tell you on which side of the gun issue your federal government is.

Appalling.

Sooo..... this is the bureaucratic version of martial law/ emergency declaration?

What is it about the 2nd Amendment that don't they understand?

These little brown-shirt Napoleon's will try ANYTHING they believe they can get away with....
...And not back off until sufficiently challenged and/or soundly beaten in court.

I think one bored attorney with some nice letterhead and 15 minutes pro bono time would settle this....

--OTOH--

Who knows...
They might threaten to shut down the entire event unless everyone agrees with their new policy...??

Awww.... dang....
Tooo bad...
..For all those naked druggie hippie-freak commune-lovin' Obammie voters....
... and all their demons....

Just sayin

It would seem Burning Man LLC has rented the desert and does not want the liability of dead ‘guests’.

Most of these Burning Man attendees are high on all kinds of drugs. While “suspending” the Constitution is never a great idea, I wouldn't want to mix lsd and firearms.

If this works out, maybe next year they’ll declare the festival a drug-free zone.

Don’t have the slightest idea what or who the “Burning Man” is or was. Other than the hazard of a burning man carrying ammo while on fire, I really can’t see what objection to the others carrying the BLM would have.

Relax, everyone.

This is Nevada. The BLM can squawk all they want. If folks in those parts wanna be packin, there ain’t a DAMN THING the BLM will do about it. They don’t have the guts to step into a drug induced crowd in a western desert and start something like that.

"‘Art projects' that include weapons and are sanctioned by BRC LLC will be permitted after obtaining authorization from the BLM authorized officer.”

So they declare that it is an act of performance art for the spectators to shoot at the burning effigy, and it's okay.

“The prohibitions above shall not apply to . . . any person authorized by Federal law to possess a weapon,”

“. . . the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Well, that should make this pretty easy, shouldn’t it?

“The prohibitions above shall not apply to ... any person authorized by Federal law to possess a weapon,”

The Constitution is the supreme federal law, is it not?

The weapon of choice at The Burning Man is Rohypnol.

Step 2 is to declare that ALL land is Federal land...

” temporary weapons-free zone”


How convenient? A temporary weapons-free zone.

Soon............coming to a town near you, then your town and then your house.

And...........where is the Republican outcry?
