I think your scenario would be much improved if you used black AR-15s instead of AK-47s.
Black guns have much more impact on liberals...
But, whatever would I cover it with to make it black? The rule of the Rose Parade is that you have to cover the entire float in natural matter i.e. flowers, plants, seeds, grasses.
On another topic-I live in a neighboring city to Pasadena. It is common knowledge that the city, and the parade organizers, are notorious leftists. Not surprised they are doing this.
That said-I, and my family, will not be watching the parade this year-for the first time ever. Libs can call me "hater"- whatever.
I get that the gays want to celebrate their victory, and that they want their lifestyle to be accepted as normal by society. I just don't think it belongs in the Rose Parade.
It was a life long family tradition for us to watch it, but no one wants to spend New Years morning having to explain to their kids why a man is marrying a man on TV.
We are just not going to go there. We'll sleep in and go to the horse races at Santa Anita instead.( I watch the parade mostly to see the horses anyway.)
