“Open Carry Activisits” now just being asses for the hell of it
They don’t get that they’ve won. Guns are America. America is guns. “Bang, bang!… Ye haw, motherfuckers!!” That you can’t take your gun to a zoo, amusement park, or state house is a little thing. Let it go.
A judge on Friday granted the St. Louis Zoo a restraining order against a gun rights activist planning a march at the zoo on Saturday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Jeffry Smith, who organized an open carry march in downtown St. Louis last year, said he planned on carrying firearms into the zoo on Saturday in order to protest the zoo’s policy banning weapons. He invited others to join him on the gun rights demonstration and created a Facebook event for the protest.
Missouri state law prohibits firearms from amusement parks, but Smith said that the zoo may not fit into that category because it’s taxpayer-funded and public, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Hehe, just another friggin excuse to poach. No GD sportsmanship anymore, I swearz.
90% of all gun deaths are family and friends. They reap what they sow.
When the lions and grizzly bears get loose, you’re going to wish you had your six-shooter on your hip.
“When the lions and grizzly bears get loose….”
Or when that guy tries to cut in front of you in line at the snack bar you can put him in his place.
Open carry at the zoo? Not interested. Open carry in Congress and the Supreme Court, now that’s more like it!
“We’ve moved from the right to bear arms to the right to flaunt arms.”

hmm, first death at Pittsburgh zoo in 18 years, but there have been other incidents involving these wild canines at the zoo.

Oh… I thought they were supporting the right to arm bears.

Wrong again. According to the CDC, 61% of gun deaths are suicides.
Well, that makes gun ownership so much better.
Let’s control knives, ropes, bridges, household cleaners and available drugs also.
61% of gun deaths are suicides…
That is taking “the party of personal responsiblity” a little too far.
@RB “Wrong again. According to the CDC, 61% of gun deaths are suicides.”
So.. You think that the gun owner isn’t part of his own family???
Just start with that 61%, and then add spousal homicide, and then add…. come on… you can do it.. It’s simple addition. Did you get to 90% yet?
Bamboozer is right. Congress is now controlled by the Republicans, so why aren’t these Second Amendment “activists” pushing to make the U.S. Capitol building open carry? And why don’t they plead with Scalia and Thomas to make the Supreme Court open carry?
The hypocrisy is enough to make heads explode.
“According to the CDC, 61% of all gun deaths are suicides.”
In 2012, the latest year for which data is available, 64% of deaths from gun violence were suicides, compared with 57% in 2006. This increase can be largely attributed to white males, whose suicide rate far surpasses black and Hispanic males of every age. Among white men ages 35 to 64, the death rate by firearm increased over 29% since 1990 (after being corrected for population growth), and a staggering 89.2% of those deaths were self-inflicted.

Regardless, I don’t see the connection between this and open-carry idiocy.
The connecting tissue is diminished mental capacity.
