Idiot walks into a police station with an AK-47 to make point about open carry. Almost gets his ass shot full of holes. (NSFW language.)

This might make me an evil prick but part of totally wanted this guy to get shot at least once.

I mean his face is covered and he walks into a police station brandishing a weapon. What could he possibly have expected?

Let's face it if this had been a black guy they would have dropped him at the door.

Hey you know that thing that you always just assumed about Adolph Hitler? Well it's true.

"No Eva ignore those Jewish bastards I tell you my schwanz is this tall."

 It has long been suspected that Hitler's conquest of Europe was an attempt to compensate for a lack of potency elsewhere. 

But the notorious playground rhyme about his testicles appears to have only told half the story, as a book claims the leader of the Third Reich had a micropenis. 

Hitler suffered from a condition called hypospadias which left him with an abnormally small manhood, according to historians Jonathan Mayo and Emma Craigie.

Gee color me completely unsurprised. 

After all men have been overcompensating for their sexual inadequacies for years.

Now if only we could discover some outward sign of a man's inadequacies in order to predict potentially anti-social or psychotic reactions to their pre-dick-ament.

Yep if only I could think of something.

No wait, it will come to me.

Texas to allow open carry in mental hospitals. You know because nothing can go wrong there.

Courtesy of USA Today:

As of New Years Day, licensed gun owners in Texas have been allowed to openly carry firearms into restaurants, shops and zoos. 

Add a new place to the gun-friendly list: state mental health hospitals. 

Visitors to one of Texas' 10 state mental health hospitals will be allowed to openly carry weapons into the facilities, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. Employees and patients will still be barred from bringing in weapons. The hospitals this week pulled down signs banning guns at its facilities and posted new ones asking people to leave their firearms in their cars or conceal them from patients, said Carrie Williams, a state health department spokeswoman. 

“While licensed visitors are legally permitted to carry on our hospital campuses, our patients are being actively treated for psychiatric conditions and generally it’s best not to expose them to weapons of any kind.,” Williams said in statement.

Gee, ya think?

So let's get this straight.

The Right Wing has been actively blaming mental health issues as the reason behind all of this gun violence, in order to deflect criticism from the NRA and the gun nuts.

So Texas decides that they should be able to carry their little metal penis extenders in the same place where many of the people they have identified as potential mass shooters are being treated.

Is there something wrong with the water in Texas?

Police may have responded slowly to recent mass shooting in Colorado due to open carry law.

Courtesy of Mother Jones:

Details are continuing to emerge about a gun rampage that took place in the streets of Colorado Springs on Saturday morning, in which 33-year-old Noah Harpham shot three people to death before police killed him in a shootout. On Monday, a troubling detail came to light in a Denver Post report suggesting that police may have had a chance to intervene before the slaughter began—but that a police dispatcher may have reacted without urgency to a 911 call about Harpham because of Colorado's open carry law: 

Witnesses watched in horror as Harpham picked his victims off. One of them, the bicyclist, pleaded for his life before being killed. 

"I heard the (young man) say, 'Don't shoot me! Don't shoot me!' " Naomi Bettis, a neighbor who witnessed the killing, said Monday. 

Bettis said she recognized the gunman as her neighbor—whom she didn't know by name—and that before the initial slaying she saw him roaming outside with a rifle. She called 911 to report the man, but a dispatcher explained that Colorado has an open carry law that allows public handling of firearms. 

"He did have a distraught look on his face," Bettis said. "It looked like he had a rough couple days or so." It's unclear how much time lapsed between Bettis' 911 call and when the rampage began, but according to The Gazette the initial police response didn't come until after the carnage was in progress.

Gee a man is walking around with an assault rifle right out in public?

What could possibly go wrong?

Just imagine how many lives could have been saved if Colorado had a common sense gun law that stated if you are walking around carrying an AR-15 like a psychopath you have to surrender it to the police and get a ticket.

And stack that against the number of lives that have been saved because some 2nd Amendment asshole was wearing his metal penis extender in public to compensate for his deficiencies.

Because that number is zero.

Oath Keepers show up in Ferguson after protests cause the authorities to declare a "state of emergency."

Police left and "Security detail" just strolled thru #ferguson #unitedwefight #whichemergency https://t.co/aodol8oLwt

Courtesy of NBC News:  

Oath Keepers Defend Right to Bear Arms Ferguson's Streets 0:52 Heavily-armed members of a controversial patriot group added an extra dose of unease to protests in Ferguson, Missouri, early Tuesday. 

The Oath Keepers organization says its members — all former military, police and first responders — pledge to "defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic." 

However, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar described their presence as "both unnecessary and inflammatory." 

Protesters and police confirmed that a handful of Oath Keepers with assault rifles, bulletproof vest and camouflage gear were seen early Tuesday on the streets of Ferguson, which was under a state of emergency following demonstrations pegged to the anniversary of Michael Brown's death. 

Several protesters confronted members of the group, asking why they were allowed to openly carry weapons. 

"I'm happy that we're able to defend ourselves," one Oath Keeper replied in footage from NBC station KSDK. "It's been our right for a long time." 

Apparently after being confronted some of the so-called Oath Keepers suggested they were there to protect the protesters from the police, but nobody was buying it. Especially the police who would have undoubtedly disarmed the men and sent them packing.

Oh I forgot these are white men.

Which is a difference that did not go unnoticed by the locals, one of whom tweeted:

"Black people are killed for carrying toy guns in an open carry state. White men come armed with assault rifles to a protest and nothing."

It really seemed that the Oath Keepers came to rub protester's noses in the fact that THEY could walk around heavily armed, while black folks were getting killed simply for jaywalking.

I guess there wasn't already enough racial tension for their liking.

Iowa mall cop and open carry nut guns down co-worker for filing sexual harassment complaints against him.

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

An Iowa mall cop — with a Facebook account loaded with open-carry and right-wing memes and photos of multiple weapons — is under arrest for shooting and killing a fellow mall worker because she filed sexual harassment complaints against him. 

Police say that the 22-year-old Kozak left the mall and went to his home and retrieved a 9mm Glock handgun before retuning (sic) and shooting Farrington late Friday night.. 

KCJJ reports that a cousin of Farrington’s said that Kozak had been harassing the victim for at least six weeks and that she had complained to his superiors about unwanted advances he had made toward her. 

“They both worked at the Coral Ridge Mall and knew each other through the Coral Ridge Mall,” Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness said. Kozak had worked at the mall since 2014.

 He may have been born free, but now that he has decided to use a 2nd Amendment solution to solve his problems, that freedom is going to be a distant memory.

That is the problem with guns, They put the power over life and death into the hands of people who are simply unable to handle the responsibility.

This was an insignificant little man, who felt so empowered by the weapons that he owned he was convinced that his sexual advances would be irresistible.

When he learned that was not the case, he simply used his gun to do what it was designed to do.

Take a human life.

Heavily armed open carry advocates show up at Texas police station to protest police chief's criticism of open carry bill. Yeah, that should put his mind at ease.

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

Kilt-wearing, gun-toting activists mobbed a Texas police station to protest comments made by the chief against proposed open carry legislation. 

Austin police Chief Art Acevado recently criticized a bill that appears likely to pass the GOP legislature to allow the open carry of firearms, saying the legislation sounds like something drafted by “criminals, drug cartels, and extremists.” 

About 30 activists, including Open Carry Texas members, carried shotguns, AR-15 rifles, and other long guns Wednesday afternoon to the Austin police headquarters.

By the way that police station was where an officer shot and killed a domestic terrorist, with anti-government sentiments, in November of last year. 

Gee can't imagine why the police chief might be a little wary of increasing the ability for people to walk around with weapons strapped to their backs. Can you?

Here were the chief's exact words: 

“If criminals, drug cartels and extremists had a seat at the policy writing table they couldn’t have come up with a better amendment,” Acevedo wrote. “Through this amendment we are facilitating the victimization of people we are sworn to serve, protect and lead.”

Okay clearly this gentleman is correct in his assessment, but for the life of me I cannot understand how he was able to become the chief of police in Texas. 

I was under the impression that they had some kind of screening process where they held up inkblots and if you did not say that each one reminded you of either the 2nd Amendment, freedom, or Ronald Reagan on horseback they wouldn't hire you.

During Michigan school board meeting open carry advocate is laughed at for saying that "guns in schools just makes sense."

(Second man to the podium is Joshua Wade a 22 year old open carry advocate. There were 25 other open carry activists there to support him.)

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

“As a law abiding citizen, I’m very concerned that this board may attempt to circumvent state law in the area of firearms regulation,” Wade told the board. “Board members, I hope that you yourselves, like me, are law-abiding citizens.” 

The otherwise quiet audience burst into laughter at Wade’s claim that “guns in schools just makes sense,” causing the board to call for silence. 

“The reason we have seen so many tragic school shootings is that laws across the nation have made our schools mass murder enablement zones,” he insisted. “The more good people who carry in our schools, the fewer criminals will see those schools as easy targets.” 

Although a few other open carry activists did address the board, the majority of speaker opposed guns in schools. 

“Mr. Wade told [WXYZ] Channel 7 News that it was his Christian duty to do this,” one man noted. “I see that as an insult to people of faith everywhere.”

Apparently the testimony of Joshua Wade and his openly armed pals did not sway the Ann Arbor school board who passed a resolution asking to ban guns on school property.

You know try as they might nobody will ever convince me that, outside of law enforcement, allowing guns on school property is a good idea.

Question of the day kids. How long do you think it would have taken for this guy to get shot by the police if he were black?

Courtesy of Freakout Nation:  

Shawn Nixon, part of a group called ‘Hell’s Saints,’ chose a fashion ensemble consisting of camouflage because, freedom. Also, it scares little kids more so it’s effective. Yay. 

Police were inundated with calls from frantic parents because school shootings are a reality. 

Naturally, the school was placed on lockdown. 

When the police confront the Open Carry freedom dude, he refuses to identify himself, and chooses to engage in verbal arguments with the officers. 

One officer’s hand is resting on his holster. Shawn takes offense while he himself is being humped by a semi-automatic rifle on his back. 

“Are you gonna shoot me?,” Shawn asks several times, while the officers appear to be in disbelief of this guy’s dumb fuckery. He then starts shouting over them. 

“You’ll probably pull your gun out and point it at me, amirite?,” Shawn asks the extremely polite and patient police officers, who in no way indicated that they were a threat.

You know I usually do not advocate violence, but part way through this thing I was kind of hoping that one of the cop's guns might "accidentally" go off. 

I really do not understand what these idiots hope to accomplish with these stunts.

I have to imagine that if there were any pro-second amendment parents who had children in this school that they are seriously reexamining their position.

In response to belligerent and aggressive open carry advocates Texas House of Representatives installing panic buttons.

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

In the wake of increasingly large and frequent protests by the open carry movement, the Texas House of Representatives approved rules that would allow for the installation of panic buttons and give representatives the power to have “hostile” citizens summarily ejected from their offices, The Houston Chronicle reports. 

The day before these rules were passed, members of Open Carry Tarrant County spent time visiting the offices of lawmakers who opposed House Bill 195, which would overturn the state’s 125-year-long ban on openly carrying handguns. 

Two Democratic representatives — Poncho Nevarez and Celia Israel — claimed that members of Open Carry Tarrant County harassed them. A Facebook post by group member Kory Watkins bears out Nevarez’s claim:

Post by Kory Watkins.

Did you hear all of that? 

I swear the guy behind the camera phone, this Kory Watkins character, sounds like he is just looking for a reason to shoot somebody.

These idiots are proving everyday why it is important to have stricter gun control laws in this country.

Open Carry advocate kills husband and stepdaughter. Then drives herself to a mental hospital.

Veronica Dunnachie supporting Open Carry in Tarrant County

Courtesy of The Dallas Morning News:

An Arlington woman faces a charge of capital murder Wednesday after two people were discovered dead in her home, police said. 

Officials said they were treating the slayings as a domestic homicide. Veronica Dunnachie, 35, is being held in the Arlington City Jail, said Sgt. Jeffrey Houston, a police spokesman. Bail had not yet been set. 

The victims had not been identified and the cause of death had not been released.

Since this article the bodies were identified as her estranged husband Russ Dunnachie and his adult daughter.

After the slayings the suspect drove herself to Millwood Hospital, a mental health facility, where she was taken into custody. She was uninjured.

Separations, divorces,  child custody battles, happen everyday in this country. Usually there are harsh words, recriminations, and lawyer fees.

But when you see the world as a dangerous place, and carry a gun on your person for protection, a verbal confrontation can escalate into something far more dangerous than simply hurtful words.

Despite what the NRA might want all of us to believe, in this case at least the presence of a gun is directly responsible for the taking of life, not the protection of life.

The equation is simple; no gun = no death.

The ugly argument over Open Carry has become significantly uglier.

Courtesy of Salon:  

Moms Demand Action, a group formed after the Sandy Hook shooting to crack down on gun violence, began pressuring the Kroger supermarket chain to prohibit “open carry” in its stores after gun extremists used Kroger stores to demonstrate their “rights.” Gun laws are lax in many states, and it can be legal to openly carry a firearm with no training, and, in some cases, no background checks. The Kroger campaign is the most recent in a string of corporate responsibility efforts in which mothers, flanked by other gun violence prevention advocates, have asked companies to tighten gun policies, arguing that the businesses have an obligation to keep their customers safe. 

Of course, gun extremists did not respond kindly to the Kroger campaign. What follows is a recounting of their disturbing tactics, from the shocking intimidation and harassment of unsuspecting commenters on Kroger’s Facebook page to right-wing media propaganda that disingenuously portrayed Kroger as being allies of the gun extremists. 

Secret Facebook groups such as “People Who Were Blocked by Moms Demand Action Demand Action Now” — which has well over a thousand members — disseminated gun rights propaganda and helped orchestrate attacks on individuals commenting on Kroger’s page. Some gun nuts combed the profile pages of people commenting in support of gun reform, harvested personal photos of them and Photoshopped them to include obscene or humiliating comments, before reposting the photos on Kroger’s page, or on other social media sites. Because Kroger frequently bans users who post that kind of content, the gun extremists created disposable fake accounts — sometimes using the name and profile photo of an opponent— to quickly dump posts without being held accountable. 

In one case, they found a photo of a woman’s preschool-age child and wrote on it, “My mom sucks more cock than Richard Simmons” and circulated it online. In another case, they grabbed a photo of a mother and her child and wrote “Big retard, little retard” on it before reposting it. One woman posted to Kroger a photograph of a receipt showing money she spent elsewhere, and gun extremists swarmed her post, with hundreds of responses, including comments like “what you could do is shut your god damned whore mouth,” “calm your tits,” and “fuck her right in the pussy,” which Kroger’s Facebook admin allowed to stand over a day later.

The article goes on to say that the approach of these extremists seems to be to attack protesters en masse and intimidate them into walking away from the debate. And that is some cases that is working.

There really is no way to have a reasonable disagreement with people like this, and since they literally view gun rights as something bestowed upon them by their creator they see all attempts to apply oversight to gun sales as an attack on their deeply held faith.

I think the first thing that anybody who wants to work toward creating responsible gun policies in this country needs to do is to develop a thick skin, and to recognize that the more hate and vitriol they attract the better they are doing their jobs.

Besides if we even prevent one more unnecessary death, isn't that worth being called a few ugly names on Facebook?

Possibly the best description of the Open Carry advocates that I have ever read.

Eric Liu founder of Citizen University and a former speechwriter for President Clinton, has written a rather compelling article on CNN concerning the 2nd Amendment, school shootings, and Open Carry advocates.

Here are some of the highlights: 

A child was killed Friday because that child went to school. 

The shooting Friday at a high school in Marysville, Washington -- just miles from my home in Seattle -- is a tragedy on two levels. First, most profoundly, two people are dead, four others wounded, and the parents, relatives, friends, teachers and classmates of the shooter and his victims have had their lives grievously changed. 

But this is not the first school shooting in America this year. It is the 50th. It is the 87th since Sandy Hook, according to data compiled by the gun reform group Everytown For Safety. The other tragedy, then, is that gun violence -- in schools, in workplaces and across our communities -- has become virtually normal in America. 

It should not be. It cannot be. It is not normal, in a civilized nation, to have over 30,000 gun deaths a year. It is not normal, in a civilized nation, to expect educators and parents and first responders to have plans at the ready for a shooting at their school. It is not normal, in a civilized nation, to assert that the best solution to gun violence is for more people to have more access to more guns.

Liu goes on to discuss the epidemic of gun violence in this country and how simple laws such as mandatory background checks could have a significant impact on the number of people killed each year and that a growing number of Americans are starting to see that.

However it was his description of the Open Carry advocates that really caught my eye:  

When middle-aged "open-carry" activists walk into Kroger with semi-automatic rifles slung over their shoulders, they aren't exercising their rights with an ethic of responsibility. They're trying to intimidate their way to respect and esteem. They're acting out, demanding attention and rejecting curbs on their desires. That's not being a citizen. It's being a toddler. 

We the people get to decide whether that's normal. Whether it's acceptable or laughable to brandish firearms in the produce aisle. Whether it's tolerable or disgraceful that we average more than one school shooting a week now. Laws like background checks can help set a tone for what's OK. But ultimately, with our family and friends and neighbors, each one of us must decide what kind of civilization we expect in the United States.

In my opinion that is not only well written but it is also spot on in identifying the fact that Americans now accept as normal behaviors, and policies, that are in fact teetering on the edge of lunacy.

The idea that we should all be armed, and that the solution to dangerous people having guns is to make sure that supposedly non-dangerous people have guns as well, is madness.

And yet thanks to the NRA and Ammosexuals that has now become a normal, and widely accepted, way to view life in America.

This has to stop, and it has to stop now. 

Good guy with a gun, meets bad guy with a gun. Bad guy likes good guy's gun, so he takes it.

A man practicing his open carry right was robbed of the gun he was openly carrying. 

William Coleman III was robbed of his Walter- brand P22 just after 2:00 a.m. October 4 in Gresham by a young man who asked him for it — and flashed his own weapon as persuasion. 

Coleman, 21, was talking to his cousin in the 17200 block of NE Glisan St., after purchasing the handgun earlier that day, when a young man asked him for a cigarette, police said. 

The man then asked about the gun, pulled a gun from his own waistband and said “”I like your gun. Give it to me.” 

Coleman handed over the gun and the man fled on foot.

Boy color me confused. 

I keep hearing that murder, robbery, home invasion, and I'm pretty sure, premature ejaculation, can all be magically stopped if we simply buy a gun.

And yet this guy was totally robbed just like some unarmed non-patriot.

Is it because he had the wrong kind of gun? Is there a brand on the market that will offer more protection, and possibly with more loyalty so that it won't suddenly switch sides and decide to go with the bad guy?

You know the NRA makes all of this sound so simple.

Open Carry demonstration in Virginia attracts two.

Courtesy of the Roanoke Times:  

More than 300 people were invited on Facebook to walk down Cary Street on July Fourth with handguns, rifles and other so-called “long guns” proudly displayed. 

Two showed up — and they were the organizers of the midday event in the family-oriented Carytown shopping district. 

“I don’t know why,” said organizer Jason Spitzer, 29, when asked to explain the low turnout for what he described as an Independence Day demonstration to “spread Constitutional awareness” of Americans’ Second Amendment right to bear arms. 

“But even if nobody came I’d still walk,” the Chesterfield County steel mill worker said, holding a large American flag in his hands, with a rifle slung over his shoulder and a holstered handgun on his hip. “It’s the Fourth of July and I love my country.”

Yes and loving your country inspires you to terrify its residents during a holiday?

The fact that nobody except these two nitwits felt that the demonstration was a good idea is nice to know, but exactly what the hell is the motivation for these people?

Salon thinks they have the answer:  

Meditate for a moment on the notion of making people comfortable with the sight of guns in public via habituating them to the instinctual terror of seeing one, and two issues immediately arise: firstly, it resembles other illogical forms of activism in which the goal is wholly incompatible with the means, such as murdering abortion providers to achieve a culture of life; secondly, it is, above all else, an effort at achieving control. 

After all, it isn’t as though the advocates of openly carrying guns in public are unaware of the effect they have on the public; they are usually met with resistance precisely because they terrify innocent bystanders, while their constitutional concerns – such as they are – tend to be swallowed up by the technique of their “protest.” It is rather the case that they claim the period of fear they deliberately inspire is one they intend to force the public to endure until they are no longer met with resistance. If their narrative is to be thought genuine, then their intention is literally to forcibly habituate the public to the idea that they are constantly in danger, and that there is little that can be done about it. Or, as Open Carry Texas puts it, the goal is to: “condition Texans to feel safe around law-abiding citizens that choose to carry [guns].” Of course, the fact that they are willing to inflict terror to achieve, bizarrely, a sense of safety demonstrates that people feeling safe isn’t really a goal here; otherwise pictures of guns or speech campaigns would surely suffice. The fear is, in other words, intentional.

In other words these folks are attempting to terrify us with their guns into also carrying guns so that we will not longer feel defenseless against their guns.

So what we are dealing with are bullies.

Bullies who have no problem terrifying you, and putting you in fear for the lives of your children, simply so that they can intimidate you into buying and carrying a gun of your own to put your mind at ease.

However this will undoubtedly fail, because most of us are far too civilized to believe that having more guns around increases our safety.

Especially in the hands of individuals who believe in using fear tactics to get their message out.

Virginia residents threatening to boycott shopping area in response to Open Carry Ammosexuals.

Courtesy of Americans Against the Tea Party:  

Open carry “activists” have been terrorizing the retail district of Careytown, VA. Recently, three armed men paraded through the busy Carey street and downtown areas, causing residents and shoppers to grow concerned about the safety of the area — and are threatening a boycott of the shopping area if open carry ammosexuals are permitted to continue to parade their penile enhancements around in public. Dozens of e-mails, phone calls, and Facebook posts have rolled in complaining about the actions of the public blasturbators that are making residents feel uneasy. 

“It was something about seeing, large guns, with three people carrying a flag that made it a little scary,” said Teresa Cerully, who works in Carytown. 

“A few weeks ago, they were standing in front of our store, talking to people about their cause and my customers were actually afraid to leave the store because they have small children and didn’t know exactly what their cause was,” said Sheri Doyle, a Carytown shop owner. 

One mother, a member of Moms Demand Action, said, “My belief is that no one should be normalized to the site of these weapons in public,” she said. “There is no way to know if the person carrying one of these down Cary Street is a good guy or a bad guy.” 

The group has asked the Carytown Merchants Association to see if Carytown would consider a gun-free zone. The group defends its actions, saying the people the group frightens are the ones it needs to reach the most. “The people who are choosing to stay away, because of that, are the people we are trying to reach the most, because they are the ones that need the education of the firearms,” said Scott Royle, one of the men who regularly parades around with his boomstick.

Yeah you know I think these parents are already quite well educated when it comes to firearms.

They realize that the more there are of them, the more dangerous it is for both them and their families.

Especially when the spokesperson for the group promoting open carry posts crap like this to Twitter.

Target issues statement respectfully requesting that Ammosexuals leave their weapons at home.

Courtesy of A Bullseye View:

The leadership team has been weighing a complex issue, and I want to be sure everyone understands our thoughts and ultimate decision. 

As you’ve likely seen in the media, there has been a debate about whether guests in communities that permit “open carry” should be allowed to bring firearms into Target stores. Our approach has always been to follow local laws, and of course, we will continue to do so. But starting today we will also respectfully request that guests not bring firearms to Target – even in communities where it is permitted by law. 

We’ve listened carefully to the nuances of this debate and respect the protected rights of everyone involved. In return, we are asking for help in fulfilling our goal to create an atmosphere that is safe and inviting for our guests and team members. 

This is a complicated issue, but it boils down to a simple belief: Bringing firearms to Target creates an environment that is at odds with the family-friendly shopping and work experience we strive to create.

So now following in the footsteps of the Sonic and Chipotle restaurants Target is forced to make a request that they should never have had to formerly make.

Reasonable Americans would never have put any of these businesses in the position of having to ask them to do something that seems perfectly obvious to the majority of us.

I cannot quite wrap my mind around what the Open Carry protesters hoped to accomplish, but there is very little doubt that what they have accomplished is not helping their cause in the slightest.

The whitest, most foul mouth, gangbanger wannabes you ever saw get arrested after walking through a Cincinnati neighborhood sporting AR-15's, spouting racial slurs, and all but daring anybody to confront him. Update!

From Jesse DeBoard's Facebook page.

Courtesy of WKRC:  

Videos that made their way around Facebook and other social media sites had neighbors talking about fears of violence. 

The video showed a man and two women carrying around high-powered weapons. They made no attempt to hide their weapons and the videos are full of racial slurs. The voice in the video was that of a man who recorded three of his friends walking through the streets of East Price Hill. They flaunted the fact that they are legally carrying AR-15's through the neighborhood. 

Since that video was recorded, Cincinnati police have arrested two of the four people in connection with the recent CIRV initiative. Charged were Jesse Deboard, the man heard on the video. The other was identified as Stephanie Coverman. Warrants are out for Chris Masters and Christina Tharp. 

There is no way that I can adequately explain just what a vile little shit this Jesse DeBoard punk is, so I will embed the video that he posted of their heavily armed, expletive filled jaunt down a street in their neighborhood.

Let me warn you that about two minutes in you will want to wash his mouth out with soap and then slap the shit out of him.

Update: Okay well the video got removed, so I will leave it up to Raw Story to describe a little of the vulgarity:

“Broad day, you see this? Walking down the street with a AR-15,” says the man filming the demonstration, who police later identified as Jesse Deboard. 

The group then brags about openly carrying assault weapons on city streets. “Open carry in the state of Ohio, the cops can’t do nothing,” one of the men says on camera. 

Deboard can be heard asking if unidentified Facebook friends “still want that drama, though.” 

“This is going on YouTube, n*gga, world star,” Deboard says to a passing group of black men.

His almost comical overuse of the "N" word is incredibly grating, as is his pathetic tough guy verbal diarrhea. The diarrhea dries right up when the police show up however.

The police then attempt to explain to the kids that by walking around with their rifles on display  it makes them a prime target for robbery, but these idiots are far too immature to recognize the truth in those words.

After the talk with the police the punks go on their way, and suddenly DeBoard gets mouthy again.

I have to imagine that he again clammed the hell up after the cops showed up at his door and placed his ass under arrest.

However he could certainly talk some shit on Facebook:  

Love when.mfs start shit take.off runnin and they wanna.squash it when.they alone then.come.to.my house 30 deep but scatter like cockroaches when.i.come.outside BY MYSELF NO.GUNS.MF!!!!!!! Yall aint bout that life #sitthefuckdown!!!!!!

Take a good look Wayne LaPierre, this is the lovechild that was delivered by NRA lobbying efforts. Now everybody can walk around acting like a dick while carrying a dangerous implement of death.

Even this little turd.

Update 2: I found some new footage that contains a portion of the video.

It leaves out a lot, but you get the idea.

Do you know where it is probably NOT a safe place to provide a gun safety class? In the parking lot of your local Target.

Did this guy actually feel it necessary to point out to a bunch of folks carrying long guns and assault style rifles where the muzzle is located? And then call it "the dangerous end" as if he were talking to preschoolers?

This Open Carry Texas group recorded and posted this video, I'm sure, to help put people's minds at ease about their activities. But it actually had the opposite effect on me.

At one point the guy conducting the instruction says "Keep your hands away from the trigger mechanism. We have no reason to be shooting at anybody today." As if that is something that individuals openly carrying weapons designed for warfare must be reminded of.

If this is the level of confidence these organizers have in the people participating in their silly little protests, that just convinces me even more that somebody, somewhere. is going to get shot by one of these ammosexual idiots.
