Mayor: A Gang Of Armed White Men Will Be Standing Along Parade Route, Do Not Be Alarmed
Open Carry activists would have us believe that people are not afraid of guns while they strut into family friendly establishments with military-style weapons strapped to their backs.
[su_center_ad]The Angleton Mayor’s office was informed that Open Carry Texas members will attend the Brazoria County Fair Parade in Angleton on Saturday and felt it necessary to issue a press release “so that citizens attending the parade will not be alarmed.”
Via Your Houston News:
The Fair Parade committee approved this group’s application. They have agreed not to carry any firearms in the parade; however there may be members of the group along the parade route displaying rifles, shotguns and black powder pistols in open holsters, which is legal in TX.
This information is being released in the interest of Public Safety so that citizens attending the parade will not be alarmed if they sec non-uniformed individuals carrying weapons.
[sic]
So a press release was issued so that the public will not be “alarmed” when they see an armed gang of white guys standing along the parade route displaying their long guns. Open Carry Texas and other groups have been marching in parades lately as a form of self-promotion, which they no doubt will call ‘exercising their Second Amendment rights.”
What these groups are trying to do is desensitize the population so that witnessing their tactics will eventually not be an issue with residents in neighborhoods they invade. Because their rights trump yours. Because they are just that f*cking special. Because sometimes intimidation works and they will push the boundaries.
Because they don’t care what you think, if you’re uncomfortable or if your children are frightened.
Big thanks to my friend out there for sending me the link.[su_csky_ad]

If they are not in a designated area along the route I could avoid, I wouldn’t go or take children.

Any more, I’d just avoid crowds, period. Especially if there is booze available.

Booze and firearms? What could possibly go wrong?
M D Reese October 11th, 2014 at 11:23 pm
Time-honored American party staples. I’m surprised that there was no gunfire at the Palin family brawl. Alaska is big on guns, and there are basically no restrictions on them.
whatthe46 October 11th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
and no one should be alarmed when one of them just happens to be bi-polar or a paranoid schiziod. this is the best opportunity to allow someone of ill will to exact their want, to just shoot the fk out of people. pigs in a blanket.

I hope no one is alarmed if Muqtada al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army also openly carries their weapons in a display of support for “second amendment” rights and open carry laws in Texas…
Something tells me that an anti-ISIL militia, (the Mahdi Army) would not be welcome in Texas..(armed or other wise)..
Whats the difference between these “white Texan Christian militia” and the “Mahadi Army” in Iraq?.
They seem to be cut out of the same cloth.

Dwendt44 October 12th, 2014 at 12:33 am
Maybe it’s because the Administrative arm of the government has the authority, via the Constitution, to administer said law. The chief of the Administrative arm of the government is the President and he and his staff have thought enough about the people and the problems of implementation that they delayed the transition for a while. The phoney claims by critics notwithstanding.
Spirit of America October 12th, 2014 at 1:30 am
This post is just on the aspect of administering the law as written. Some of the delays in implementation are/were perfectly w/in the POTUS’s domain. However, several delays weren’t(even though they had good ’cause’ as you noted) because of how the law was written… the dates there had ‘must be implemented’ and therefore any delay must be granted via a vote by congress and signed as law by POTUS as an amendment to the law changing the dates. POTUS did circumvent the law.
Obewon October 12th, 2014 at 1:35 am
If true then how come Issa’s ’50 weeks of hearings per year = “0 Indictments”‘? D’oh!

Issa=0 indictments because POTUS Obama Broke no laws vs your false “optnion” “any delay must be granted via a vote by congress and signed as law by POTUS as an amendment to the law changing the dates. POTUS did circumvent the law.”-Full of crap.
Who was dim enough to tell you that? Your Fantasy News Channel via some Limbaugh puppet? GWB’s Medicare Part D delays were?
Spirit of America October 12th, 2014 at 2:32 am
Just curious, why did you post, as a reply, a bunch of unrelated ramblings?
However, the language used in the 2 laws are different. Not to mention votes on the floor pertaining to Med B… contact the office of Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) for details.
Oh yea, not to mention that many of the dems did their best to derail it…. seems like both sides do it too…

Your false “claims” are always debunked. You remain debunked and a complete fool e.g.
A) There is 00.00% proof of your claim ‘Obama broke the law’-by delaying the ACA implementation.
~Likewise~
B) GWB’s Medicare Part D delays were what? And nobody said Medicare Part D delays were ‘breaking the law’ Felony? Impeachable?
Your elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top!
Spirit of America October 12th, 2014 at 3:51 am
“Your false “claims” are always debunked”
Sure they are, that’s why you ramble and throw out kiddy insults instead of stay on topic, eh?
And aren’t you the one who wouldn’t accept a simple wager a few months ago or so? I remember you now.
“A) There is 00.00% proof of your claim ‘Obama’s Administration broke the law’-by delaying the “Administration” of the ACA implementation.”
The proof is in the language nut case, and we’ll let the courts decide, it is in court as we type.
“B) GWB’s “Medicare Part D” delays were what? And nobody said “Medicare Part D” delays were ‘breaking the law’ Or a Felony? Or Impeachable?”
Again with the rambling and not making sense. YOU compared the two, I said they were different.
“Your elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top! “pertaining to Med B”-WTF? “contact the office of Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) for details”-Lol SoA: “Excuse Me I’d like to ask you a few questions”

As for ‘your wager’? That was the stupidest & dumbest bet ever offered with 0% likely acceptance by me, or any other LL’er. It took you days just to figure out you were denied a bet days earlier! Lol!
Spirit of America October 12th, 2014 at 4:25 am
“with 0% likely acceptance by me”
Because you knew you’d lose and that’s why it took you days to come right out and say no bet.
BTW, when you get old enough to get your driver’s license, you’ll find life gets better and you won’t be as petty and bitter as you are now. With more of a social life then just posting on the family computer or where your mother gives you rides to, you’ll find adult behavior(such as civility, coherent paragraphs and such) is so much better.

cargosquid October 13th, 2014 at 2:01 am
That was a nice puff piece that merely repeated the administrations justifications.
This piece is especially nice: The Administration has not postponed the employer mandate out of policy opposition to the ACA, nor to the specific provision itself. Thus, it’s misleading
to characterize the action as a “refusal to enforce.”
It is most definitely a refusal to enforce because the administration is opposed to the effects of the implementation. THAT is why it is illegal. Nowhere did the article provide any constitutional authority to change a law.
Obewon October 13th, 2014 at 2:21 am
If laws were broken then how come Issa’s 50 weeks of hearings per year = Zero Indictments? A: Issa is damaged goods that’s why GOP had to replace him as chairman.

When I was your age, there was no need for everybody to want to parade around carrying their phallic symbols and act all macho. And as to the phallic fixation, only those of you who think they need to act like that has that problem. No thanks, I will defend myself if you please, and not rely on someone who would p–s their pants if someone pulled a gun on them.
Those who think that they need to walk around with a long gun on their shoulder is more a danger to the 2nd Amendment right to own a firearm than any liberal politician ever will be. As they will cause such a alarm that the repeal of the 2nd Amendment would pass without any effort. You endanger my right to own and fire my weapons more than any other thing in this country,

crime in other cities of illinois is no where near the levels of chicago and morton grove. law abiding citizens can defend themselves in all other cities.

The U.S Virgin Islands has the highest per capita murder rate, and the strictest gun controls. criminals are not driving to indiana to buy a gun and then hurry back to where they are safe to commit crimes.
CherMoe October 13th, 2014 at 7:15 am
Most crimes are committed by the proverbial “good guy with a gun.” That critter just doesn’t exist any more. The majority of people with a gun will eventually use it, especially in a display of anger at a spouse, family member, a neighbor, etc. In the absence of guns, that scenario wouldn’t likely be taking place. Boys like guns because they’re impersonal and they can be detached from the reality of the bullet leaving the barrel and striking a person many yards away. A gun is manufactured for one reason only … to KILL. People who buy them do so for one reason only … to potentially KILL someone or something. That doesn’t promote peace and harmony in our country and doesn’t make OTHER people feel safe, especially with the low mentality of most people who have those guns.

DesertFox-1A October 21st, 2014 at 8:45 pm
While I will agree with most of what you say here, not all firearms are bought for the purpose of killing. I collect old firearms, and of late the only thing I have ‘killed’ with any of them has been Tidy Cat litter jugs full of water or paper targets. There are many firearms collectors who collect these bits of history and enjoy firing them on ranges. But these weak little men and their phallic symbols are trying to start a fight over ‘gun’ rights or maybe want to get into a gun fight. If they had only seen what a rifle of those calibers only does to a human body. Not pretty.

there is no dead armed victims, if you bother to check the stats, criminals attack gun free zones. i.ve always said, keep your long guns handy. when the cops and military walk the streets with long guns then get yours. the horses all along the streets had a rifle on them. to steal one was rare. they didnt take there rifles into the stores, they left it on their horse or wagon.
DesertFox-1A October 21st, 2014 at 9:58 pm
Again you are not basing anything on historical context, you base it on novels and movies, not real life. True those who traveled did carry a weapon on them and maybe a long gun on the saddle. Especially during the Indian Wars, the riders would then carry a weapon and would use them if they needed to or had the chance to. The city folks did not go around and carry weapons everywhere they went, there was no need to, but, when the need arose they were able to get them, usually from the town marshal or the local hardware store. i.e. The Great James/Younger Northfield Raid. Just do not believe the romanticized west of the novels and movies, they do that to sell their product.
Large portions of the population were veterans of the Mexican war or the Great War of the Rebellion and did not deem it necessary to carry a weapon all the time. Traveling had its dangers depending on were you where, those dangers ranged from grizzlies and rattlers to Mexican bandits or Apaches or any of the other warring native peoples. When you got to town if you were stopping for a while you usually left you weapons in your hotel room, including your side arms, that is if you did not have to check them with the town marshal first. If a traveler was just stopping to purchase supplies or for a meal at a table that was not burned over a fire, they might leave their long guns on the saddle. No one would have thought to take a travelers weapon off of his or her horse, unlike today when an unattended weapon in a car or pickup truck would be stole in a blink of an eye, depending on where you are at.
But generally the locals, including the ranchers and farmers did not carry their weapons on themselves all the time, during round ups when they had to deal with some fairly woolly old range bulls they did carry a rifle on the saddle, but from all of the accounts that I have read and the stories that I heard from some of the old cowboys, a holstered pistol was more a danger to the rider than the bull was. You know history is a wonderful thing, if you take the time to learn it.

side arms was a way of life in most of the americas. canada to argentina. the west was never as violent as hollywood portrays. our nation was founded on the belief that every man take care of himself and family. theres always going to be a violent person, its your responsibilty to stop him. the cops show up later. North field Minnesota was not friendly to the james gang. nobody ran to get their guns, they already had them. the Dalton gang had the same fate. today criminals rule the streets in gun control city’s like chicago, ,LA, NYC, , city’s with the least restictions have the lowest crime rate.
