citizens defy mayors gun ban to make a point

Gun owners from down the road and from around the country, packed council chambers to give the mayor an earful about his executive order banning guns from village government buildings and meetings.

They ignored the ban to prove their point. Guns were very visible but the only shots fired were verbal and they were directed at the mayor.

"You are just as a much a tyrant for requiring someone to surrender their civil rights to carry a firearm in order to participate in their government as you are in asking them to surrender their right to vote or anything else,” Bob Wright said.

Speakers were given three minutes to speak and they did not hold back ,most of them with their guns holstered by their sides.

In all more than 100 people filled the council chamber to capacity, dozens of them carrying guns, despite signs that say ‘no guns allowed.’

Police were on hand but they did not stop them.

no shit. when you're outnumbered 80 to 15, you become extremely polite.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

The police should've taken the offenders to jail. This is outrageous. Even if a few people have to die to ensure order, because the nuts started shooting and the police must justly defend themselves from aggressors, it's more than worth it. The law must be enforced. Everyone in that police department responsible for this decision should be fired and have their pension revoked, at the very least. Honestly, they deserve life in prison for this outrage.

Nah, they should have just quietly left, went home, got drunk, and had sex with their significant other, maybe watch a football game and play some cards.

absolutely.

So if a group of union workers intimidate scabs, that's bad, but armed gunlovers intimidating elected officials is good?

the union workers are violating the rights of the 'scabs' by being intimidating, and the 'gunlovers' aren't intimidating elected officials, they are intimidating the outnumbered cops who would otherwise have enforced an illegal and unconstitutional order.

So when you strut around with a holstered pistol in plain sight, you're not using intimidation as a deterrent?

against those intending to violate or deny you your rights, perfectly acceptable.

And if you're outnumbered by an armed group that thinks you're intending to violate or deny their rights?

do you think it was right for the government to immolate and crush 80+ people for having dummy hand grenades?
