    Why is that? We went to war over the idea that possessing WMD was a threat. Why isn't walking around in public with an AR15 a threat?

    I have never heard such a thing.

    Of course they're a threat. That's the whole idea.

    The only people threatened by this are those who would prey on the unarmed.

    Why don't you tell us about the ISIS fighting heroics of the anti-gun activists? Why don't you start with your own stories of fighting ISIS. You called people cowards. Why don't you prove it or at least show us what bravery against ISIS by anti-gun people looks like?

    That's pretty brave ignore the Constitution that he swore to defend. Now he fears living in an America where he is not in charge of everybody with a gun.

    how do you know they aren't veterans? Do you think you have extra credibility just because you claimed to have serve but now disrespect the constitution you swore to protect?

    I bet most 12 year old kids I teach to shoot are more competent with a handgun than that clown. Nothing is worse than a military control freak who wants to erode the rights of citizens. Its that sort of attitude that prompted the founders to make sure citizens were well armed

    I have longed believed that firearms use and carry is not just a second amendment issue but a first amendment issue as well.People who open carry aren't just implying that will defend themselves, they are also making a symbolic statement about their civil liberties and autonomy

    the most appropriate terms are censored here. Few things do I have less use for than military types who want to infringe on our constitutional rights.

    truth, its why so many of the ultra rich are lefties They want power and they figure the government is something they will run SO they want a bigger government so they have more power. And its why many of them want to ban guns. Even a poor person with no fancy attorneys or lobbyists is more than a match for a scum bag who is rich. so big wealthy scum bags tend to want to disarm people

    Only if inanimate objects frighten you. That is usually called a neurosis.

    Why are bones not an ingredient found in ice cream?

    Are you really going to compare common firearms to weapons of mass destruction? In your mind an AR-15 is no different from a nuclear warhead? If such is the case, there is nothing but delusion and paranoia on the part of yourself. Seek professional psychological help, and stop bothering others.

    In the entire united states, there are only five states that prohibit the open carry of firearms. Those are the states of California, Illinois, New York, South Carolina, and Florida. In the other forty five states o f the untied states, the open carrying of firearms is a legal practice, and one cannot be prosecuted for doing such. There are no federal laws that prohibit the open carrying of firearms. The majority of the country has concluded that there is no threat to be had in the act. It is yourself that is the outlier in this particular matter, not those that actually carry firearms openly.

    Get over it.

    He's an idiot and a clown. My interaction with the military has shown me that MOST of those who rise above the rank of Lieutenant Colonel do so only through knowing the tactical application of what to kiss, whose to kiss, and when to kiss it. McChrystal showed he didn't even know when not to do it, so he was promoted far above his capabilities.

    His utter ignorance about the reality of firearms is clear in the comments he makes in that video.
