The private militias providing “security” for anti-lockdown protests, explained

You can't defend your rights by hiding them. We will defend our free speech rights by not saying anything offensive, our right to worship by praying in the closet. Cucking in the name of optics is the faggiest of cucking. Don't rock the boat guys, we can still fondle our bumpstocks in the basement with the lights off while watching pornos and the neighborhood mommies might still like us.
 
Because in a 2 minute video shot they undo 20 years of my work winning hearts and minds a few at a time. I feel good that I was able to help a few people wake up, but it is hard to convince those whose only exposure to "gun people" are these idiots.
And the problem is that no matter what caliber of people they are, if there are guns involved the news will always ensure they make them look like idiots.
 
Each other to be able to exercise our 2a right. I do respect them for stepping up and strapping on, and I agree it is 100% their right. A demonstration is an attempt to get other people to listen to your issue. You may get their attention strapping on, but they will be less likely to listen to what you are saying. They are acting lawfully but not wisely.
Let's ask the Suffragette movement, Black Rights movement, LGBT movement, how acting quiet and respectful and not stirring up shit works....

I appreciate what you're saying, the idea is not to hide, but being a good example of what a responsible owner of an AR looks like would help. I don't intend to hide, and I won't comply, but I am not going to make a pointless in your face boast about it.

The LGBT movement is an excellent example of showing that they were the same people as we are, to be respected and trusted. Their gains in a very short amount of time are amazing.

They will, but there won't be an image of a strapped paramilitary wannabe stored in viewers mind of what a "gun owner" looks like.
 
So, Maura, the FF intent of the 2a was not to keep a potential tyrannical .gov in check? That is your argument?
ok, think I understand what you are posting a little better. The reason for 2a is exactly for keeping a tyrannical government in check , by people who appear not to be crazy. I may be reading "modified" history, but the FF were respected people in their communities that lived exemplary lives. I would like to believe they encouraged debate and argued on logic and principles, not just insulting the opposing view. That said, I guess I do regret calling them idiots, I suppose.
 
Gain, counter productive. See all the movements I mentioned prior. They didn't WIN based on hiding in the closet, but by throwing it in your face.
NO, LGBT gained by winning the hearts and minds of others who were not, but could see the injustice

They were respected people and lived exemplary lives. They also shot lots of agents of their government with their guns.

The winners dicatate what is crazy or not. History is always written by the winners. The FF were thought of as terrorists by the king. Read their history books (GB) and it reads different from ours.
At least you admit that you shouldn;t have called them that.

No, they did that by being IN YOUR FACE. What if this picture had gadsdens instead of ranibow flags, and insead of bright "plummage" for clothing they were wearing plate carriers and camo. And instead of armbands and signs they had AR's?

Yeah, the LGBQ community is not the best example he could use.

Totally low impact, totally normal.

Yes, but is that activity is considered the "norm" to many now compared to say 40 years ago? It is, and allowed. I consider them freaks, but they can do it without mass outrage. Vs. the outrage we get from this;

Well that makes sense. Disapprove of open carry, approve of sodomy. Sad. You folks know the alphabet mafia is working their way towards public acceptance of P. The sodomites want sexual access to your children.
 
Many non firearm owners already view us as gun crazy, anti-govt., neo nazi individuals and white supremacist.
When we dress as such, it only confirms their thinking.
The people that haven't made up their minds about us are the ones that we do not want to complete a bad picture of ourselves for.
We need all the support we can muster.
We don't need to alienate those that may be sitting on the fence and may someday come to our point of view.

My opinion is to dress in your normal civilian cloths.
Leave the military type uniform articles of clothing and any visible firearms at home.
You can be armed to the teeth and no one would be the wiser.
They already know we have firearms.
Leave the grade school show and tell stuff in your safe.

You in fact will garner more support as people view us as we are, just a common person, a neighbor or a person that resembles someone they know rather than some guy covered in a military camo type uniform.
The military is expected to have casualties in a conflict. Civilian deaths are viewed as a much more personal subject to the general public.

It should always appear as it is, with govt. troops in uniforms on one side and the civilian population on the other.
With a clear distinction of who is who.

Which news headline sounds better?
Govt. forces fire on their own civilians or govt. forces fire on anti-govt. militia members.

The Boston massacre had a decisive effect on the colonist convincing many to join the fight for freedom!
Perception is everything.
No one likes to hear of civilians being innocently fired upon.

Now a military type clash does not invoke those same feelings of govt. oppression.

We are civilians that our right of self protection is being stripped away by tyrants in our govt. through imprisonment or the threat of deadly force!
What we are doing should never have the appearance of a military coup.
!!
Military troops are trained to kill the enemy of which most wear a military uniform.
They are not trained to slaughter civilians. That order would have a whole different psychological effect on the individual solder.

Now the police are trained to shoot civilians. But only to defend their lives and most of the time the lives of others.

That world famous picture of the guy that stopped in front of the tank in Tiananmen Square stood out as a civilian act of govt. defiance.
Would they have stopped the tank if he was dressed in a military uniform and how would the world have viewed that instead?
Hint...It would have never made the news!
