I've been saying it for years — it's not guns or gun ownership that make non-gun owners nervous, it's the obsessed nuts. It's natural for something like this to make a person nervous:
How are you supposed to know when to perceive a threat when every stranger you encounter has a rifle slung over his shoulder? These guys come walking in:
I'm probably not hanging around to find out if they're there to assassinate some girl that rejected them in high school.

Carrying a gun is one thing, but why carry an assault riffle?
Because we have the right to.
Don't need to provide need.
Why do you need to watch Bill Maher?

Sorry about having no warning, I didn't want to spoil the ending.
You know that the video was faked right?
I've watched most Joerg's videos, his slingshots are awesome.

haha!!
Got me a gun! kinda....
Just for a bit of fun in the back yard... beer cans and such...
Yup... guns are fun, but have you ever seen one of those people that take it too far.... We're talkin gun love?
DO you know any Ammosexuals?
Heres a better question... Do you agree with it?

Are these people expecting an invasion or something?

How hard is it to understand that the bigger the gun the more attention that will be drawn to it. No body wants to eat while some jackass is waiving a long gun around. What is wrong with open carry a pistol holstered while you are indoors. Mark my words if gun owners don't get their heads out of their buts on this issue it will only serve to bring much violence over an issue that has to do with manners not rights. Just look at what these idiots have done to the second already forcing eaterys to ban firearms because they don't understand that we are all in this together.

This recent surge in brandishing weapons is insulting to any normal gun owner
And it's terrifying to any sane person. Our country is degenerating into Afghanistan.

Well that was news to me. Much of my life it has been legal and a way of life to open carry and anyone carrying a long gun into a business other than weapons store would not go over well. They certainly choose the wrong path without much thought on the subject. The food places were right to ban because these idiots would have been shot in some cases and rightly so. They done a huge disservice to the 2nd. I wonder how many of these boys in the picture know how to contact their law makers instead of putting fear into women and children. I have met many people that are just waiting to meet great thinkers such as these.

See my earlier post. It is illegal to open carry a pistol but legal to open carry a rifle so these protests are designed to demonstrate how silly that law is and get it change. It may backfire on them, but that is their intent.
We have everything to fear from anyone f-ing stupid enough to carry a weapon in this manner into a resturant. It shows a complete lack of decision making skills and serves to ruin what small reputation gun owners had in the first place. These are the type of people that would trip over there shoe lace and kill someone. Like i said they broke many mental barriers when they decided to do this. Texas should be open carry but they are doing nothing to change that.

Drama Llama much? These incidents are organized protests by law abiding people whom you have nothing to fear of.

Just as silly as to asking someone to provide "need" when exercising a right.
Maher is an ignorant jackass with a camera.
I don't look to silence him, nor deny you to watch him.
He entertains you, and you enjoy watching him.
Watch on and enjoy your life.
Now, care to allow others to do the same?
