The picture actually reminded me of a Muslim demonstration in Iraq. The only thing missing was firing the guns in the air. Sooner or later, someone will make a mistake and do that, too.

These guys will continue to convince the rest of the public that gun owners are whack jobs. Thanks guys!  :tup:
:yeah:  I don't see how demonstrations like that help gun owners in any way.

It would not really matter if it was airsofts they were wielding.  It is the fear they represent to the Sheeple.  The law will pass and thus provide another potential "Safe From Guns" hotspot for a perpetrator of a murder suicide whacko to gravitate to.

Not a law.
Change of rules.
And it has been finalized according to the Skagit Valley Herald this am.

Shoving your right to bear arms in the face of others to make a point is stupid and counter productive.

After all, isn't this what many of us dislike about other groups? I don't dislike gays, liberals, minorities or others who have different opinions of the world than me. What I dislike is having any of them try to shove their opinions in my face like I should somehow entirely agree with them without reservation. BS.

When I have visitors who I know dislike guns, I will be sensitive to that and not purposely bring up a gun related topic. If they start it, I will take the conversation as far as they are comfortable with and then drop it. No preaching. I hate being preached to and respect others right to not have to endure it.

Same thought that I had.  In light of the recent events in Europe, this moronic fringe group couldn't have picked a worse time to pull a stunt  like that.  Once again we law-abiding, sensible gun owners are going to get painted with the mud covered brush that these types create. Geeze they make it easy for the anti 's to get legislation passed.  I felt my stomach turn when I saw the picture in this mornings Seattle Times.

Is it safe to say most of us agree fringe groups, even those with similar policy goals, can often undermine achieving said goals?

I would certainly say so.  Not a well thought out demonstration at all.  Apparently they didn't learn their lesson from the Starbucks fiasco.

Although I am not a big open carry person, I can't help but see many similarities between this and what the founders did.

I am suprised to why people would get the Seattle Times?  I however get the same feeling whenever I look at most newspapers.

If the folks were all dressed in suits and jackets with concealed carry one would have a very different perception than if the Clampits came down out the hills packing ARs - the motive is the same, the goals are the same, but the two versions would not be accepted the same way.

This isn't a fringe group nor a fringe issue, it's a 2a issue and 99% of us on this forum are gun owners affected in some way by 594


It would have been nice to see well dressed professional types with concealed carry's doing it though.

I hate to break it to you but the media is only going to take a pic of the clampits, regardless of who is there.  The 2A protects the clampits too.

They didn't ban concealed...just open carry stating it falls under props like signs/banners.  I kind of wonder what else could fall under there interpretation--could druggies not wear dredlocks or have pot symbols on their clothes, would the smell of patchouli and weed be a prop, gays not wear rainbow clothes, bikers not wear leather jackets with patches, cowboys no longer wear hats?

i agree. Perception matters. Had they dressed well and held the weapons without looking like drunks at a middle eastern wedding celebration, the perception would not be as negative.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.
