Some idiot was pissed he can’t open carry to the convention so he gave 'em a 2nd amendment shoutout.

Now Trump and the NRA will have to advocate for tour groups to the White House and Congress having the right of concealed carry.

Twitter report from police radio saying “we have the shooter.” Gotta be skeptical but that’s the word so far. Very few news outlets even have it—New York Daily News the only one I’ve seen domestic, although Reuters has a mention too.

YIKES!
Shots??

'Cause open carry is way too gun controlling of those who open carry without added language of “(open carry) and shoot in crowds.” It is not enough to be very much for the 2nd Amendment unless you are “very, very” for it.

(Edit) Gotta be at least two assholes grinning ear to ear at the sight on TV of Capitol Police in bullet proof vests with automatic weapons and otherwise armed to the hilt guarding the Capitol-- the Head of ISIS and Wayne LaPierre.

The NRA is asking that thoughts and prayers be sent that no guns are harmed as this unfolds and is brought to conclusion.

Thanks in advance!

Damn it. Isn’t the Eastern celebration happening at the WH right now? Poor kids. I hope the even is not cancelled.

Don’t the Republicans want an armed citizenry keeping politicians in check? So they should be pleased that it’s come to this.

Screw the vote. Lock and load. Amiright?

Especially if a Republican is elected president!

Nothing to see here folks…just another responsible gun owner confusing “open carry” with “open fire”…

Network reporting differs, CBSN reporting eyewitness texts suggesting handgun fire aimed at “students”…

Nope

And seeing how Verizon Center is a gun free , then it’s going to be hard for them to run Heller in regards to open carry.

Okay…I laughed out loud on that one.

I guess Darrtown is one of the Tribeca Film Festival Censors.

“Open carry” is way too tame. To really get your 2d Amendment point across, you have to go full-on Simpsons’ Texan celebration, and dance while firing two pistols in the air.

Thankfully this happened on a Monday when Congress is usually not in session. IN FACT, if you want to know a neat trick for keeping track of which days Congress is in session and which ones it is not, just pick all the days that end in ‘y’ and those are the ones that Congress is not in working.

I’m surprised it wasn’t a Rightie gun-nuzzling ammosexual visitor ~ahem!~ ‘adjusting’ himself while packing his .357 penis-substitute. Seems to happen in movie theaters and elsewhere by those NRA-approved, responsible gun humpers all the time.
