The activist who threatened to lead an armed march on Washington on July 4 has canceled the event but is urging people to converge on the 50 state capitols to protest gun regulations, according to his recent appearance on an Internet talk show.
“Please don’t come to Washington, D.C. Appeal on a state level,” Adam Kokesh, an Iraq war veteran, said in an interview Tuesday on “The Pete Santilli Show.” “We shouldn’t be begging the government to change. We should be hoping they respect our rights.”
I guess plans for mass arrests will be stopped. What an incredibly foolish event to plan. So much for the idea of law-abiding citizens. Once again shock-jock Pete Santilli is lurking around the distasteful and in this case, the illegal.
What is Adam Kokesh the leader of? Is he self appointed? What gun regulations is he protesting? Did I miss something that passed?
“He said protesters with loaded guns slung across their backs will march around the District’s seats of power — the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme Court and the White House”. LOADED. They have to be loaded to protest? In his comments he equates a crowd armed with guns to non violent disobedience practiced by Ghandi.
He was inspired to call for this march while waiting out his time in jail after assaulting a federal officer during a marijuana rally. Guess the non violent part slipped his mind.
He has also said publicly that “time for solving problems through “democratic means” has passed”. So how many guns does this conspiracy theorist own??
Of the 4,000 supporters he has on Facebook how many do you think might be angry or paranoid enough to be a concern? 4,000 supporters.
I have a right to feel safe without the obligation to own matching firepower.
Speaking of people who need a background check…..
The latest racin case is directly related to guns. Again, background checks…..
“I guess plans for mass arrests will be stopped.” First you have to a a “mass.” He’s cancelling because he’s not actually getting “rsvps.”
Darn…. speaking as the “resident” gun nut, I wanted to see this mutinous cretin cuffed and stuffed. All this guy wants is publicity. He became addicted to it as an IVAW/ANSWER anti war protestor. I guess advocating desertion and mutiny does go too far these day.
As for his supporters….he doesn’t actually have any. He’s done similar things….stating that “thousands” would show up and having about 100 people arrive. “Liking” on Facebook is SOOOO much easier and safer.
As for the ricin letters…. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out that the sender is NOT a gun person.
Just out of curiosity, how could the person NOT be a gun person? Do you mean an anti gun person trying to blame a gun nut? (non-specific)?
“DOESN’T go too far these days”
Edit first THEN submit.
Gun huggers must learn to resolve differences peacefully, like civilized peoples do.
I don’t think of you as the resident gun nut. Your views are needed. Agree the ricin sender is probably a weenie. He doesn’t carry the ricin to battle. He gets someone else to.
I am not quite ready to strip Cargo of his title. 👿 😈
@Moon-howler
yes….. someone trying to make the gun side look bad.
Could be. I doubt it. I guess we will know when they catch the person. Right now all we can do is speculate.
