Alarm & Bluster II: This Time, It's Personal

Libertarian Radio Howler Adam "Kotex" Kokesh And His Tight T-Shirt Plan "Open Carry March On Washington" July 4; Claims "We Will Not Be Intimidated"

Gregory Gwyn-Williams Jr. reports at CNS News:

Libertarian activist and radio host, Adam Kokesh plans to lead an armed march on Washington, D.C. this Independence Day.

Launched as a group on Facebook, the "Open Carry March on Washington" hopes to get 1,000 supporters to march into the nation's capital with loaded rifles.

The group plans to meet at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.  From there, they will march across the Memorial Bridge into Washington, D.C. and continue down Independence Avenue.

While Virginia permits open carry, Washington, D.C. does not issue any permit/licenses to carry a firearm.

The Facebook page states:
"This is an act of civil disobedience, not a permitted event. We will march with rifles loaded & slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated & cower in submission to tyranny."

The event is said to be non-violent and states that if the group is met with physical resistance, they will turn back.

...in other words, they will, in fact, be intimidated.

Now, here's a blast from your past: the "Alarm And Muster" event at the Washington Monument and Gravelly Point State Park, Virginia, on April 19, 2010:

Alex Jones Sails Off Edge Of Earth On National TV

Alex Jones Meltdown, part 2:

 

 Josh Levs and Ben Brumfield report at CNN.com:
Was it a debate? A berating? A surreal televised "stunt"? No matter what you call radio host Alex Jones' appearance on "Piers Morgan Tonight," one thing is certain: It's generating a great deal of social media buzz.

 On Tuesday morning, Jones was a top-trending topic on Twitter as people read about the interview, watched clips online or shared their thoughts after watching Monday night's fiery exchange live.

The man behind a petition to deport Morgan back to the UK for expressing his views on gun control went on the attack, calling the CNN host "a hatchet man of the new world order."

"1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms!" Jones yelled. "It doesn't matter how many lemmings (mindless followers) you get out on the street begging for them to have their guns taken! We will not relinquish them! Do you understand?" ...>more

Megadeth Frontman Dave Mustaine Sails Off Edge Of Earth, Claims Obama Staged Colorado, Wisconsin Shootings to Push Gun Bans

Marah Eakin reports at The Onion A.V. Club Newswire (not a parody):
After sort-of endorsing Rick Santorum and aligning himself with the "birther" viewpoint earlier this year, notoriously conservative Dave Mustaine is speaking out against President Obama again. This time, the Megadeth frontman and Rock ‘N’ Jock softball player has accused Obama of “staging” the shootings in Aurora, Colorado and at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, all so that he could “pass a gun ban.”

In the speech, which he made last week between songs at a Megadeth show in Singapore, Mustaine says that Obama is trying to turn the U.S. into “Nazi America,” and that if things keep going the way they’ve been going, he’s going to be forced to move away. After a heckler shouts out in opposition, Mustaine chastises him, saying, “Did you guys pay to listen to him or me?” Luckily for Mustaine, being a total idiot shitbag is not one of the offenses punishable by caning in Singapore.

Utah to Honor Browning M1911 Semi-Automatic

Official State Gun has "defended American values"
Lester Haines reports at The Register:

Utah is poised to adopt the classic Browning M1911 semi-automatic as its official "state gun", in honour of native John Browning who invented the weapon in 1911.

The proposal to add the M1911 to Utah's roster of approved symbols, including state cooking pot and state folk dance*, "breezed" through a House Political Subdivisions Committee hearing this week, and will now go before the full Utah House for a final vote.

Speaking to the committee, Republican Carl Wimmer said of Browning: "He invented a firearm that has defended American values and the traditions of this country for 100 years."

Inevitably, the recent shooting of Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona, who was hit by a round from a Glock 19, has prompted doubts that honouring a semi-automatic is a very tasteful idea.

Steve Gunn, a board member of the Gun Violence Prevention Center, told AP: "It's an embarrassment to the state to have as a symbol that was used only a few weeks ago to kill innocent people."

Wimmer responded: "There is nothing about the actions of a madman to change the fact that firearms have been used throughout our history to defend American values and traditions."

Fellow Republican Stephen Sandstrom had already addressed the matter when he told the committee: "Tragic events happen because of bad people in this world. But handguns, and firearms in general, do not kill people. We need to stop demonizing firearms."

ALARM AND BLUSTER: Your April 19 DC Gun Nut Video Roundup

Area Gun Nuts Infest DC with Boneheaded Rhetoric, Invade Suburban Virginia Parks "Strapped"; Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Invoked At Least Four Times



The Town Hell Posse reports from the DC Independent Media Center:

Y'know, we almost had to feel sorry for these doorknobs, working their poor asses off trying to spin attention away from Timothy McVeigh by invoking the Battle Of Lexington, Oklahoma City, Waco, and the big daddy of 'em all: the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. We just love how these wastes of DNA try to divert us from the destruction of the Murrah Building by someone who was just like them by bringing up Warsaw. It's such ham-handed, Babe Ruth League quality spin-doctoring, too, that you just can't help but feel sorry for their ignorant asses.

They slammed the crazy pedal to the floor and never looked back when Chicago rightist talk-radio howler Erich "Mancow" Muller hit the stage and promptly started wailing about Obama's "problem with god" and about how Haiti was founded on voodoo and Satanism and didn't let up until the scene hit the Virginia suburbs, first at Fort Hunt Park and later at Gravelly Point, as close as Virgina gets to DC -- and also directly under the flight path of National Airport. Oh, the hilarity.
