Police Search Home of Gun Rights Activist (Kokesh)
NBC 4 DC ^ | July 9, 2013 | NBC 4 DC

The home of a gun rights activist who loaded a shotgun in downtown D.C. was being searched by police late Tuesday evening. Adam Kokesh posted a video of himself on the Fourth of July loading a real shotgun with live ammunition at Freedom Plaza in D.C.

A search warrant was being executed Tuesday by U.S. Park Police at Kokesh's home in Herndon, Va. Police officers were reportedly searching for the shotgun Kokesh displayed last week, according to Kokesh's producer and roommate Darrell Young.

I'm not clear as to why the Park Police came to Virginia to arrest Kokesh for violating DC gun laws, unless there is a federal law he's accused of breaking. He certainly didn't violate any Virginia laws.

This all happened about a half mile from the VanShuyten Estate. They had the helicopters and everything out for this guy.

A later report said they (GASP!) found the shotgun! I'd be willing to bet that they could find a shotgun in pretty much every house around here.

This is the Obama for America agent provocateur who was going to lead an “armed march” on Washington DC during the Forth of July holidays. He was “outed” by a bunch of 2nd Amendment groups who warmed their members to stay away, so the march fell through.

Methinks he’s trying to generate some street cred somehow.

“Adam Kokesh posted a video of himself on the Fourth of July loading a real shotgun with live ammunition at Freedom Plaza in D.C.”

Well, at least it wasn’t one of those fake shotguns you see everywhere.

A well regulated population being necessary for the security of a tyrannical state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms will be considered a joke.

fascism at it’s finest. Maybe that can go after the millions of illegals with the same zeal because they actually have that constitutional authority. I won’t shed tears for him getting arrested but this is going too far. Does the district go after people playing the knock-out game and posting it online with the same vigor?

He’s a self promoting ego maniac but he’s no agent provocateur. The agent-pprovocateurs are easy to pick out. They don’t spend years doing a “hey, look at me!” Routine. They show up at the last minute at a protest. They dress like the central casting version of “anarchists” only they have crew cuts and are wearing the same boots that the police are wearing.

"Well, at least it wasn’t one of those fake shotguns you see everywhere."

If he wanted to make a point, I woulda recommended an Airsoft fake shotgun. Airsoft replicas are accurate enough that our BATF has actually claimed that they can be converted into real firearms. (They can't.)

It could have been a SuperSoaker and they’d still have dressed up in their cammies and helmets and HK MP-5s and busted him.

They love to strut their stuff taking down citizens these days. If they treated our home grown terrorists half as rough, our Moslem problem would be solved.
