To mark the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing and the final assault on Waco, gun rights activists staged a rally at Gravelly Point, a nation park in Virginia."Obama was mentored by Marxist. He is a Marxist and he is going to lead this country down the Marxist collapse agenda and roadmap of Europe," said 41-year-old Geoffrey Bean, who travelled from Sacramento, Calif., for the rally.
"Never in history have Marxists understood anything but the barrel of a gun. Ever. And so we brought the barrels of our guns to show them that they are not going to take away our constitutional rights without a fight."
In what has to be the most hilarious example of fucking irony that I have ever heard, these same protesters are now legally able to openly carry the firearms that they brandished at the rally because of the a bill that President Obama signed into law on May 22, 2009. An amendment to the Credit Card Act of 2009, this law makes it legal to openly carry firearms in National Parks and National Wildlife refuges. It also allows firearms to be carried in luggage on Amtrak trains.
But do the facts matter to the Cult?
"To tell you the honest truth, him signing a law saying that I can stand here (with a loaded gun) doesn't mean anything to me," said Daniel Howley, 53. "The constitution says I can stand here."
Not so much. Many of the protesters there still think that President Obama is going to curtail their gun rights even though all evidence points to the contrary. In fact, several have taken it a step further.
"The enemies to the constitution are not over in Iraq. The enemies to the constitution are not in Afghanistan. The enemies of the constitution are across this river," said Tom Fernandez, 32, founder of Alarm and Muster, a communications network established to reach people in case of constitutional emergencies.
"If you trample under your feet the freedoms of this country just as quick as you drink a glass of water, I am not your friend. I am not your friend."
Eric Stinnett, a 39-year-old engineer from Alabama, called the U.S. government an "unjust authority" and likened today's lawmakers in Washington to the Sept. 11 terrorists: "Does our government not act like suicidal hijackers?"
Eric, I am begging you...please speak more often and louder. The RINOS and non pure conservatives need to hear your voice! Keep yelling to the highest hills, my friend, from now until November 2nd!!Take a look at that sign above:
FEAR THEM IN YOUR GOVERNMENT THAT FEAR YOUR GUN.
TYRANNY ONLY COMES WHEN WEARING A FEDERAL BADGE.
Anyone want to give me shit now for the Cult?
For more photos from the various rallies, check out this 25 pic slide show. The Cult is looking good, my dear readers...pretty, pretty good:)

I also read that the reporters on scene outnumbered the protestors. But by all means, trump up their line.
I think the sign makes perfect sense. Are you inferring (via sarcasm) that tyranny will come from... Iran? China? N. Korea?
Your views on the second amendment are as misguided as they are dangerous. Take five minutes and apply the current restrictions on the 2nd amendment to, say, the right to free speech. To write this blog you will first need to apply for a speech license(complete with fingerprints and a personal history). After three days minimum, you might be allowed to make one blog post, but no more than one every thirty days. The length and appearance of your blog may be regarded as illegal depending on the whim of the Alcohol, Tobacco, & Speech Dept. If it is suspected that you may have more blog posts hidden in your closet, expect a Federal SWAT team to flash-bang you and your children at 2 am.
My point is, the 2nd amendment has been trampled on in ways that would never hold up in SCOTUS if applied to other amendments. Yet, using your 1st amendment guarantee, you try to belittle and marginalize those who would use their 2nd amendment rights.
And if you don't agree with me; you sir, are worse than Hitler.
And I do want you to give a shit about The Cult. Let's discuss their transition from post-punk to hard rock. Which resulted in commercial success, but diluted Ian Astbury's howling angst.

Love is one of my favorite albums of all time. It is a shame that their style changed over the years.
