The DC government yesterday assembled some weird ass collection of armed "troops" without any badges, no identifying markings and no personal identification.

Without any identification, there was no accountability for these troops.

I thought this sort of overstep was the reason the 2nd Amendment People were arming themselves?

I'm kinda surprised they didn't all head over to DC to protest this weird government activity..... Assembling an unidentifiable, un-named, unaccountable, armed force to restrict the people's 1st amendment rights to protest?


And not a peep from everyone who said that's why they needed all the guns.

Isn’t DC one of those strict gun control law places? If so the people of DC already forfeited their 2nd amendments rights.

Sucks for them. Hope they enjoy their weird ass collection of armed troops without any badges and the tear gas. I even heard from TW say they used military maneuvers.

I mean... If you're resisting government overstep, but obeying a "no guns in DC" rule... You're really not doing a great job at resistance.

those the same guys who armed themselves and stormed a state government capitol building to protest being told to stay inside to avoid getting sick? ...the guns were their way of saying they were prepared to fight a tyrannical govt. and die for their Constitutional rights, especially the 2nd Amendment

then the govt. says that it will use overwhelming military force to take away Americans' First Amendment right and dominate the battlespaces in our cities?

so these guys go to the nation's capitol to.............defend and fight for their rights?


Nope...to stand side by side with that govt in the fight to take away other American's Constitutional rights...

Nope. They didn’t go to DC. Victor wanted them to go to DC because the people of DC voted away their rights and now are getting tear gassed by mysterious military scary people.

It’s a common talking point ever since Trump’s photo op. We’re pretty much just discussing a silly meme.

Actually to use the same strange logic some in here used about masks the armed protestors protesting stay at home are now justifying gassing folks for ignoring a stay at home order (curfew). (And yes I know it’s not the same folks. Not a Singular Venn diagram etc.. just making the same stupid argument some thought was smart)

Nah HD.... you're too quick to assume what I want.

I really don't want anything. Well, no, that's not true. I'd be happy with some consistency from people.

The protests are probably more effective being unarmed. I'm just wondering why so many people who I've read in this forum argue that they need their guns to fight government overstepping, are uninterested in getting involved.

Unidentified armed troops in our nations capitol... it's a really interesting sight.

Because it’s viewed as a black issue and a non issue by some. The Anti mask issue is definitely more important.

I, for one, would like to see some/many of the protesters, black and white, bring their semi-auto weapons to the march...I mean...what could go wrong?

So you wanted people on cigarbid who have argued for 2nd amendment rights to fly to DC to defend people who voted away their rights? Maybe they had more important things to do like mow the yard or something.

By the way, I don’t think you saw any unidentified armed troops. Maybe you just didn’t know how to identify them. The don’t necessarily have ID badges like they’re at a convention not is it some sort of requirement.

I don’t think any cibidders actually protested stay at home or masks. They just bitched a lot and typed angrily.
