Gun Nuts Will Protest 2nd Amendment By Bringing Their Guns Everywhere Today

by Ken Layne  

  • Add 100 pounds of bacon-cheeseburger and sweatpants to this image, and you'll get Today's Gun Nut.A bunch of paranoid gun fanatics will gather today at two federal parks on the Virginia side of the Potomac, taking advantage of new federal legislation signed by President Barack Obama, and using a federal park permit, to protest the federal government taking away the rights of paranoid gun fanatics to brandish their weapons and scream about the federal government. Do not go anywhere near Gravelly Point or Fort Hunt Park today, because one of these retards is going to accidentally (?) start shooting people, or maybe an asteroid (God) will come down and “solve America’s problems.” [Washington Post]
  • You know who else was a crazy wingnut who hated people who worked for his country’s government so much that he blew up the Oklahoma city federal building and murdered 168 people, including 19 little kids at daycare? Timothy McVeigh, the former government soldier. That was 15 years ago today. [Bill Clinton/NYT]
  • About 40 lamers from a pretend-Nazi white militia from Detroit (?!) went to Los Angeles to protest Mexicans. But they were shouted down — and beaten! — by local hippies. Good work, hippies! [LA Times]
  • How is this not a surprise: Coachella had its biggest crowd ever, and “Rap Rock” was the big attraction. Jesus fucking christ. [NYT]

Typical Nazzis. Fucking dummies always getting to fight a war on multiple fronts and losing badly.

karen April 19, 2010 at 8:28 am

Now those are the kind of hippies this country needs more of. Elect some of those violent fuckers into office so they can encourage easily impressionable youth to beat the living shit out of teabaggers and nazis.

Poor little pudgy white guys with peeny weeny power fantasies pretending to exercise their constitutional rights. These turds live in a dream world of confederate lost causes and white supremacy. Their time has gone. They are simply too stupid to recognize they are an artifact of history. They should just go home and jerk off into their stars and bars.

Moral of the story: Before going into combat, make sure you take your Crown Vic by the Pep Boys to have the charging and starting system checked out. It may save you the embarrassment of having to go all Spartacus with your swastika-emblazoned shields when trying to jump-start your Chariot of Supremacy.

As noted in the permit, balloons are prohibited. Let’s not get TOO crazy.

One pack of firecrackers and Wingnut War will breakout.

Godless Liberal April 19, 2010 at 8:40 am

Gun nuts protesting what is actually an expansion of their right to carry guns makes only a little more sense than the Tea Party protesting taxes after getting what amounted to a huge tax cut.

Jim Demintia April 19, 2010 at 8:41 am

YES! Rap Rock is back! Time to break out the ol’ Aerosmith/Run-DMC “Walk This Way” collaboration and take a drive through Alphabet City and Williamsburg with the windows down, blastin’ the sweet tunes and basking in the hipster love.

1. – Funny that the gun nuts chose fairly well know pick up sites for their little get togethers.

2. – …and here we are, 15 yrs later with nutjobs talking the same talk.

3. – If you are beaten by hippies (notoriously weak from the vegan diet), you need to hang your head in shame. I doubt these guys are really from Deeeetroit City. Probably some piss ant little town in rural Michigan that picks up the Detroit tv stations.

4. – I fear for our culture, I really do.

Help a tourist out, Washingtonians — is Gravelly Point not directly under (like, close-enough-to-wave-at-the-pilots directly under) the National Airport flight path for arriving flights?

Hah, the permit says that their ‘long guns’ must be empty. The government is mandating that they shoot blanks. Get your government hands off my scrote!

As a participant in many not-so-popular demonstrations in my days, I’m not sure we should rejoice over the success of the counter-demonstrators.

[re=559111]HereKitty[/re]:

You’re right, it’s along the river tidal flats there by National Airport*.

* – Note: Locals do NOT call the airport Reagan National. It’s a beautiful old historical landmark and had a perfectly good name before some wingtards changed it.

Terry April 19, 2010 at 9:17 am

“The bloodied man was then escorted away by police. Both victims were treated and released, police said.

His sign, unclear in its intended meaning, read “Christianity=Paganism=Heathen$” with an arrow pointing at a swastika.

“Gosh, I think he just didn’t have a clear message. I don’t even think he was a Nazi,” said one man, looking at the broken pieces of the sign left behind.”

Good grief, the attackers weren’t hippies, they were overly aggressive copy editors.

One vehicle failed to start. As a group of white supremacists attempted to jump-start the car, others raised swastika-emblazoned shields over their heads to protect themselves from projectiles

I’m guessing it looked like this?

This isn’t a “cops are fascists” thing, but I find it difficult to tell the difference between the “Nazis” and the riot cops in the LA Times photos.

I bet half the wingnuts can’t even find gravely point, you can only access it going northbound and if you miss the turn, the gw parkway sends you far off into Fake America where you must block traffic while you argue with your fat wife about directions.

Also nobody is going to be able to see them with their scary guns over there except maybe a few stay-at-home moms taking their kids for a bike ride on this lovely spring day so good job guys.

JMP April 19, 2010 at 9:37 am

Dudes, you cannot legitimately call yourselves patriots when you’re celebrating a terrorist attack and threatening violence against the US government. You militia folks hate America, which makes you the opposite of patriots. Hold onto your big overcompensating penis substitutes all you wish, but do not call yourselves patriots.

Hitler would be sooo unhappy with those boys they’d get a second ass-kicking in 1930′s Germany.

Dolmance April 19, 2010 at 10:36 am

I admit to getting off seeing the Nazis getting their ass kicked in LA. If I’d been there, I’d have run up to where the injured lay writhing in the gutter and use a big chunk of French bread to sop up some of their blood to enjoy later. French bread is always better for that sort of thing. None of that sliced white shit that passes for bread here in the US. No sir. I’d have brought some extra baguettes for my animals too. That’s good eatin’. Serious.

So he’s gonna be both Han Solo AND Chewbacca. Brilliant!

Ken: Don’t really need the “Jesus fucking Christ” on this one. None of that stuff at Coachella was rap-rock; in other words, the article bears as much connection to musical reality as the average NYT “Science” article bears to science.

Long Form Def Certificate April 19, 2010 at 11:09 am

I was going to say: isn’t this also the ten year anniversary of the return of Elian Gonzalez to his father’s custoday? Checking Wikipedia, though, it appears that was 22nd April.

Guess April was a pretty rough month for Janet Reno. (Waco, ’93; OKC, ’95; Columbine, ’99; Elian, ’00.)

comicbookguy April 19, 2010 at 11:10 am

Do not go anywhere near that protest. But, if you must walk past it on your way somewhere, toss some firecrackers in a garbage can and run. With any luck the ensuing carnage will thin out their numbers a bit.

Harvey Birdman April 19, 2010 at 11:22 am

The LA Times piece was strangely deferential to the Nazis. Had one changed the names of the organizations one would truly think their “rights” were infringed upon and that nasty rabble of “anarchists” should all be arrested and put away. LA Times, kissing up now to the extreme right.

I was down near the White House in Lafayette Square a few years ago and saw a group of protestors yelling around how horrible the government was, the usual stuff. Unfortuately, their portable p.a. system conked out. The Park Service staff there loaned them bull horns so they could continue their speeches about terrible the government is.

ArugulaTeleprompterz April 19, 2010 at 11:33 am

The Coachella story in the NYT is basically like one of NYT’s stupid trend stories. Set up a false premise (in this case, Rap-Rock is back), find a lone example of said “trend” (P.O.S.), follow up with a couple of examples that explicity debunk the trend (Sleigh Bells and Calle 13 are NOT Rap-Rock), and then claim that the trend is real. Perhaps the MSM really is dead. Or should be.

“Taxes are a joke. Regardless of what a political candidate ‘promises,’ they will increase. More taxes are always the answer to government mismanagement. They mess up. We suffer. Taxes are reaching cataclysmic levels, with no slowdown in sight… Is a Civil War Imminent? Do we have to shed blood to reform the current system? I hope it doesn’t come to that. But it might.”

I was just a few bucks short of getting together the bus fare to make it to DC. Those marching, gun-loving freaks would’ve loved these. Oh, well. I’ll just have to sell them at hundreds of gun shows we have in the state.

And a person that owns a local gun shop that has been putting together the local 2nd Amendment March takes every opportunity to explain to anyone in listening distance that the fact that the March was scheduled on the anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing is the librul media. Not sure what the thought process is behind the statement, the librul media told them to choose that date, the librul media decided that Apr 19th would be National Blowing Up A Federal Building Day, or that the librul media just happened to point the fact out to the American public.
