Gun Advocate Says Armed March On Washington Will Be Totally Safe
It's all going to be very well choreographed, Kokesh says.
____ The District of Columbia has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. Although individuals can now own guns within the city limits, it remains difficult to obtain a permit. Loaded weapons being transported across state lines into the city by unlicensed out of state residents would likely be treated as a highly provocative and illegal act by police.
"If they do, then we'll either peacefully submit to arrest in order to make a court case out of it or we'll turn back," said Adam Kokesh, a libertarian activist and former candidate for Congress in New Mexico, in an interview with BuzzFeed on Monday. "We're not going to resist government by force in any way."
"It's all going to be be very well choreographed," Kokesh said.
Kokesh, a prominent Ron Paul supporter and 9/11 truther who made headlines during the 2012 campaign for publicly musing about assassinating Mitt Romney, said he couldn't say how many people the march will include; "I couldn't say right now because it's so viral," he said. On the Facebook page, he wrote that the march would go ahead with 1,000 marchers; Kokesh said it has passed that point and the march is definitely a go . . .
Though Kokesh feels "that I'm going to be a lot safer at this event than I would be on the streets of Chicago," he can't fully guarantee that no one in the group will do anything dangerous.

(32,078 posts)...because they're afraid the government will know where to come to confiscate their guns? Yet, they will HAPPILY and WILLINGLY register for an event that will put their names on a list that the government could EASILY obtain, if it really wanted to? Fucking idiots.

(13,359 posts)That the Occupy movement had riot cops and homeland security come down on them....and yet I bet nothing will happen to these idiots, even if they ARE breaking gun laws and someone does something stupid...
bunnies
(15,859 posts)oh wait.
They damn well better DO something. They have to! An armed march on the capital? Nothings too harsh for this type of dangerous moron.

(13,359 posts)is that our esteemed President is soooooo worried about keeping the peace with the Teabaggers, he will look the other way. ...just like he conveniently stayed out of the 'Occupy' bullshit and just let the cops act like thugs...
getting real tired of this double standard shit.
bunnies
(15,859 posts)that were talking about armed jackwads who use pictures of HIM as targets. If these people pull this stunt with nary a word from the President, I will freak the fuck out. Seriously. I've been in "if you can't say anything nice" mode for a while now. I so wish I felt the way I used to feel about Obama. But Im getting to the level of seriously pissed off. I think Im down to my final straw.

Youll Find Koch Dollars At the Root Of the Calls for Armed Revolution Against Obama
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12622739
And they of course are behind the "citizens united" PAC and their successful bid to allow for unlimited spending in elections (as well as pushing for the Keystone XL pipeline which Greg Palast has shown will save them something on the order of $2 billion a year) and they're working to buy up newspapers to control what is printed (likely specifically about them and their works).
So billionaires are taking over the government. These two are merely the tip of the iceberg. The "call to armed revolution" is utter bullshit along the lines of the mocking titles of their PACs; Obama is a proven shill for the plutonomists via continued wall street bailouts and even protection from prosecution, and there is a revolving door in the white house for corporate access.
Who or what exactly enables "austerity", or "sequestration"?

Who says Obama is against the plutonomy take-over? He's not.

(8,020 posts).. are afraid of the government, right?
Can't they see that this is a perfect opportunity for the government to slip some agents provocateurs into the event?
Lots of cameras around...
One of the "marchers" starts shooting.. bloodbath ensues. Blame falls on the marchers.
They are paranoid nuts... but they may not be paranoid enough.

Now not only do they practice their crazy out in front of god, man and every one, they do it proudly.
Let's get a whole bunch of people waving guns around in one of the most security neurotic places in the world.
Right.
That's not gonna end in tears.
