It’s ‘Gunfight at the Golden Corral.’”

Brilliant.

To be closely followed by the Shootout at the Old Country Buffet.

You can be sure that sooner or later the Open Carry freaks are going to show up at Target or Chili’s or Home Depot, things will go haywire, and people will end up dead as a result.

There needs to be a movement to shame these a$$hole$ whenever they turn up. People need to be brave enough to point out that they are cowards; that they are compensating for small penises; that they are morons.

It needs to be loud and it needs to be from the crowd. If one person starts doing this, hopefully the crowd will join in.

Hopefully we eventually get enough people disgusted with these twits to change the laws and eliminate their stupid open carry. Then we can work on concealed carry.

I will state bluntly. I see a gun out in the open, I will call 911.

I’m not physically afraid of anyone, and certainly not someone who’s so cowardly they have to put a gun between them and the rest of the world in the 21st century.

And I’ll fucking take the gun if it gets pulled out and comes anywhere near me or mine. I am capable of doing that and I fucking will. Jerk it right out of their candy-ass little hands.

Join MomsDemandAction.org and join the organization that is leading the charge to make our public spaces free from guns. Singles, Dads, Dudes, and gun owners are welcome. We have a petition up right now to encourage Target to make its stores gun free. http://act.everytown.org/sign/target-petition/?source=fbmo_offtarget&utm_source=fb_m_&utm_medium=_o&utm_campaign=offtarget

I sympathize with your instincts, but the problem is that these losers are showing up in small groups. I suspect that if you disarmed one of these loons the other idiots would start firing at you.

Definitely the correct thing to do: “Hello, 911? There’s a man in the parking lot of [store] with an assault weapon.”

The open carry laws are tricky. Here in CT, you don’t need any sort of permit to carry a rifle openly. However, the police also understand the nuances of “disturbing the peace,” and when someone does something that justifiably causes alarm in others, they will intervene. If it’s deer-hunting season and you’re standing next to your pickup in a parking area on the edge of some state forest land, holding a rifle, no problem. If you’re doing that at the local Applebee’s, it’s a different story.

I wonder what people in Seattle were thinking when that nice young man open carried a shotgun onto that college campus?

Jon Stewart, what a guy.

You first. I am not confronting anyone nuts enough to carry an automatic weapon in public.

Let’s see what happens when six black men with rifles open carry their way into Fox News HQ. I’m sure they will be clapped on the back and welcomed as true patriots. Not.

Leave it to Jon Stewart to say something absolutely stupid as usual:

the “members of the National Everybody Else Association” have no idea whether the person standing behind them in line at Chili’s carrying a rifle is indeed a good guy.

I guess Stewart should be arrested anytime he enters a bank because heck, the cop has no idea whether he is a good guy or a bank robber…because everybody isn’t a bank robber until he is.

Then again he is a clown, so…

You again forget WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Well put, Jon Stewart. On another topic, David Brooks went against his fellow Republicans and stated that Mr. Obama did the right thing by bringing Mr. Bergdahl home. He used our common citizenship as Americans as the rationale, and it was a good essay.

The Right selects who is worthy of citizenship. Presently, their definition of who deserves citizenship is white males, preferably with property (but they will take the votes of the property-less white male goobers who consistently vote against their own interests).

Seeing this, it is only a hop skip and a jump to the notion that these “worthy” white males can just about do what they wish, including take rocket launchers into the Emergency Room. Their ancestors certainly enslaved who they wished and stole the territory of whom they wished.

Throughout American history, these “worthy” people cared not a whit about the opinions of others about them. They certainly did not care about Native American feelings. Nor that of slaves. Nor that of the Asians and Mexicans they brutalized in other settings.

And the “Golden Corral Combatants” certainly do not care about OUR scorn and derision. If anything, it would be a mark of accomplishment. That is because the fighting, aggressive nature of these people is still not completely understood by most observers on the Progressive side.

They do not care about the scorn and ridicule of Maher, Stewart or Colbert. But, in the words of Alan Simpson to Bill Maher, “These people VOTE (no matter how much you laugh at them, Bill)”…

And that is their greatest strength.

Who wins big from this? Which organization can proudly say to America that they stood up to “gun nuts”? And still pander to them at the same time?

The “Not in your Right mind Association” lol

Fox News HQ is in NYC so that ain’t happening, unfortunately.

Once again, Stewart gets to the truth while the so called ‘news’ channels pick their noses.
