Its D.C. somehow i doubt this. It would be nice, but doubtful. If this march was in a more freedom loving area id say there would be a chance, but in D.C. in a liberal stronghold.......Nope. The police have trampled on the constitution as much as the politicians have.
I feel as if they havent actualy passed anything as of yet that would spark enough people to want to do this,
If there was a actual gun grab/confiscation on the books beeing implemented, i could see this happening, but we know there a bit more sly then that,
I would think he is calling for this to try get us to show them the power of the people and possibly easy the constent abuse of power the government has used so far, and stop them from pushing more controle on us, but i just cant see it working,
not enough peope are fed up and ready to make this push
The biggest thing to watch with this March is the participation of very radical pro gun supporters that will join in the crowd. If they do meet police or National Guard resistance, the more radical group might not believe turning around is the way to go and force a conflict. With that many people that could turn into a huge firefight. 2nd shot heard round the world. THEN MichealJR could call go time because gun owners would have to mobilize right then as retribution from politicians would be swift otherwise.
An armed activist march is all too easy to be hijacked by the government -- which is always looking for more false flag opportunities to paint gun owners as crazy nut jobs.
All you have to do is have a dozen undercover FBI provocateurs join the march, then organize a few cops to start hassling some of those conducting the march. On queue, the undercover FBI guys -- who specialize at staging false flag operations in the USA -- open fire on the cops.
What makes you think people are only pissed about gun control? Pay attention, there is a lot more to be pissed off about than some mag restrictions.
They won't need to arrest everybody n the spot. Videocams everywhere, DHS goons writing up license plates, and voila... Martha deems you unsuited to own, and you can kiss your guns good bye for life.He's not marching armed into DC. The DC cops have three choices, they can meet us at the VA/DC border and turn us back peacefully as Kokesh has said he will do, they can allow us into DC and finish the walk and arrest nobody, or they can let everyone into DC and try to arrest everybody.
Since Kokesh has already announced that he will turn back peacefully it is unlikely the DC police will allow anyone into DC and risk bloodshed.
Something to think about, I don't know any of these folks, never trained with any of them, never so much as had coffee with them. I am going get into the shit with people that I don't even know how they are going to respond. This is why I am very careful who I let into my circle, and as careful about getting into thier circle.
A few hundred years back, there was no armored vehicles, no snipers who could kill you at 1000+, no small group tactics worth talking about. The only way they fought was firing lines/farandoles. Communication was done through bugles and drums. No helicopters and drones either.
Nowadays, you work in a team or you will be the first body to hit the floor, it's that simple. Unless you're Tom Berenger of course.
Chuck Norris wouldn't need 10,000 people to back him up...Or Chuck Norris.
If this were'nt the interwebs, I might be offended by that.On the first comment, You are quite correct.
On the second one if you really believe that was a "natural progression", then you really must have your thought process evaluated, if you support what was done. Also If you do support how the governement conducted themselves, I want you no where near me, as you can not be trusted.
This comment was posted by Quiet, "I'm not sure yuo've thought this through. Thousands of armed protesters, thousands of armed police in tactical gear facing off on a bridge. And one guy lights a firecracker."
I agree this is what could happen with the slightest of provocation. A car could back fire, or someone moves hands in what some cop "believes" to be an agressive manner, and a shot gets fired. That will lead to Sympathetic firing of shots just like we have seen in other instances.
Huh? Ghandi's protests were all unarmed, this guy is not talking about pushing forward and beaing beaten, he's talking about going armed to the teeth and then turning around. This is NOTHING like Ghandi, and it's just a disaster waiting to happen.The same could be said for Gandhi's various protests... The same WAS said about the rallies in Boston.

If you are a British soldier in Gandhi's day and throngs of people march on your position, it doesn't matter and did not matter if they were armed.Huh?

Neither were the rallies in Boston designed to provoke a reaction.
I will be doing my best to pick the time and event for that to happen.
The loss of community is a big part of many things wrong with governance today. We are a nation of strangers willing to tolerate rampant abuse of our neighbors because we feel no bond with them so long as "they don't come for me".Hk, I will have to disagree with you on these folks not knowing each other. If you look back in our history, everyone went to church, town meeting was important, each town and village had a militia. If you look to the founders of this country they too had a common bond, most all of them were Masons. So they understood the hierachy of leadership and command. We don't have that kind of common bond today, and what makes it worse that many today are from the "ME" generation. Add to what I already said many of this countries founders already knew the skills of those leading as they had been is some kind of command billet, during the King Phillip War.
You're making my point; the analogy you made comparing Kokesh's protest to Ghandi's wasn't very apt.If you are a British soldier in Gandhi's day and throngs of people march on your position, it doesn't matter and did not matter if they were armed.
They opened fire anyway...

They didn't care in Tianamen either:
Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Provoking a political reaction is fine, but marching an army up to another army and tweaking their nose is just looking for conflict. IMnsHOAgain, I think this is a bad idea, but all rallies are designed to provoke a political reaction. This will undoubtedly provoke a political reaction. Whether it provokes a violent reaction remains to be seen, but the whole "firecracker" nonsense is just that. Like saying someone popping off a firecracker at a gun show would start WWIII because of all the guns...
Gandhi and Students in Tianamen were doing the same exact thing - they were thumbing their nose at those in power.You're making my point; the analogy you made comparing Kokesh's protest to Ghandi's wasn't very apt.

We JUST witnessed contagious fire in Watertown. It's not because of all the guns, it's because of the tension between the sides. Have you never seen a brawl breakout at a baseball game?

Yet people still seem to go to Baseball games. Contagious fire isn't really the concern, it is to be expected. The issue is the first shot fired that cannot be justified.We JUST witnessed contagious fire in Watertown. It's not because of all the guns, it's because of the tension between the sides.

We don't have to show up armed to make our point we just have to show up. The fact is that gun control advocates show up in numbers the pro gun forces don't even come close to matching.
LOL I was referring to the players.Yet people still seem to go to Baseball games. Contagious fire isn't really the concern, it is to be expected. The issue is the first shot fired that cannot be justified.
I am starting to see some movement in this direction. I even saw something on getting a few shotguns into the inner city (don't recall where).We don't have to show up armed to make our point we just have to show up. The fact is that gun control advocates show up in numbers the pro gun forces don't even come close to matching.
We need to win people over to our side of the issue and I have found the best technique is to take a non shooter shooting. Bring them to the dark side with a round of sleet or some .22...
