implications are not peaceful at all. You can have the same rally with the same message without the assault weapons. They are attempting to intimidate.

I swear when we make the laws we need to put a "don't be an asshole" clause in it.

Don't be an asshole clause as well as maybe these hundreds of years old laws don't quite work in modern society and we should look at amending them. But that would require multiple parties coming to the table with a level head.

If people of color living or working in Richmond VA felt afraid or uncomfortable going outside this morning, it wasn't peaceful.

"Peace" does not just mean an absence of physical violence

I agree with you I just think the media is trying to prevent anything worse from happening. That doesn't mean what they are doing is correct.

Calling it peaceful is lying. It's acquiescing to terrorists. It was a threatening Nazi rally meant to give other closet Nazis courage.

I agree with you, I just interpreted the media response as an attempt at de escalation. That doesn't mean lying about what is happening is correct though. You are right about giving others courage. Not good.

I'm highly suspicious of anyone who views this as a "peaceful" protest and I just assume they are sympathetic to white supremacism.

The media is defending white supremacy. As they're wont to do most of the time.
This is the beginning of a big problem. The media just let the Nazi's rewrite history, forgetting about Heather Heyer. These scumfucks should never be praised for not being violent today. They should be derided for even showing their faces. They should be chastised for terrorizing the city. These fuckers are 'tongue in cheek' planning a race war and people think they're kidding. They aren't. They're real Nazis. How many more have to die before we crack down on them? For fucks sake if the FBI hadn't been as incompetent as they usually are, this rally probably would have been extremely violent.

I wish the media wouldn't call this a gun rights rally. I guess it technically is, but it's clearly a white supremacist rally first and foremost. it seems like they've learned nothing.

it's interesting that Trump is tweeting out so much support for it considering what happened last time

Officials say 22,000 were at today's rally. 7,000 on the Capitol grounds and 15,000 in the streets.

Surprised no one ever throws a bunch of fire crackers in the crowds at these rallies to see if shit starts popping off

"The left are just as bad". Nope. This is a barelgy organised militia.
"The idea there could be a civil war is ridiculous". Look at this barely organised militia.
"Guns protect us from a rogue government". You have a rogue government and they have these people on their side. Also ANY govt had drones and missiles now.

VOTE. TRUMP. OUT.
VOTE. GOP. OUT.

Sure, let's show a "nice white couple" holding hands at the Nazi rally specifically planned on MLK Jr Day and call it peaceful, then imply the concerns about it were overblown.

If makes logical sense why he is tweeting his nonsense, he knows which people to be courting for his reelection. I don't even know if Trump actually believes in half the shit he "supports", he's just playing the masses like fools.

Someone tell me please how the fuck is that a legal weapon to own!?

when civilians wanted to use the same sniper chamebring anti tanks rounds than the army used, ATF said... well, it could be dangerous to put a semi automatic rifle with such precision and power on the public market ? But lobbies said its too big to conceal so no one would use it wrongly and ATF said that argument was good enough.

How do we stop this?

I, an uneducated buffoon, have some ideas, but surely there are people better than me who could stop these things from happening?

Oh right, this is America.

Thanks.

Dumb, super dumb considering the crowd it's flying in, but not as bad as it could've been I guess.
It's an extension of that dumbass 2A image that get passed around Twitter and Facebook with Stalin, Hitler, Mao, etc. disarming citizens. Saw a lot of it this morning while following the rally.

Too bad no one is being disarmed. No one is having their guns taken away. Morons.

.50 cal are illegal in California, our state was worried people were literally going to snipe refineries with that large of a caliber. But I'm sure there are greattttt reasons why that fucker is able to own one and walk around with it. Jesus.

Had to mute a conversation on Twitter some now because I called a group of protestors "Fragile White Men" and ended up triggering too many folks. I engaged for a bit but eventually it's just tiring.
