While rebellious grownups reliving their days of playing
soldier try to convince themselves guns are make us safer, that
all-important family unit Republicans are trying so hard to protect, are having a more
natural reaction; panic!!!
The new gun culture violates the constitutional guarantee of
“domestic tranquility.”
FreakOutNation: A man who claims to be on a Second Amendment mission to educate others about gun rights, caused panic in Vancouver, Washington, at a family fun center while carrying a semi-automatic rifle. A business went on lockdown, parents grabbed their children and ran inside, and still he refused to leave while ‘educating’ others by carrying his rifle on private property.
Gun addicts, drunk on the idea that they can now control any
situation, don’t get it: Other people see them as strangers with loaded guns. In fact, it's the same kind of stranger gun loons say they are trying to protect
themselves from.
This line struck me most from rifle toting Mark Worley:
“If the public is afraid, that’s not my fault. I don't control their point of view”
Amazing. Our natural defensive mechanism is now simply a "point of view?" Tell that to Rep. Paul Ryan, who dismisses the Constitution entirely, by defaulting to our God given freedoms and liberty's. That includes our own natural defensive reaction to what we see as dangerous, right?
A historical perspective: Gun activism is a recent oddity. Before this
movement was spurred on by a conservative activist Supreme Court decision on
the Second Amendment, people naturally felt unsafe around guns and assault
rifles brandished by strangers in public areas. It wasn't normal.
Worley of course is teaching society a lesson. Don't trust your instincts, it's that simple. What a lesson:
Mark Worley said, “I was breaking no law and I was arrested for trespassing on a public sidewalk. Whether or not you agree with open carry of a firearm or not, it’s not illegal.”
But police disagree. Police said he crossed the line when he decided to openly carry his gun on private property, KATU reports. Police said he first went to a restaurant with a rifle slung over his shoulder which prompted an employee to promptly call 911. When the police arrived Worley had walked to a fireworks stand in Big Al’s parking lot, according to KATU. When employees became concerned over Worley’s intentions, they closed the stand and the business went on lockdown.
Parents panicked and grabbed their children, running into the restaurant while police officers swarmed around Worley, who then refused to leave.
