He was legally carrying his gun while pushing a shopping cart and filming himself. How is that “threatening the public with a gun”?
I wonder if he would have gotten in trouble for shooting the fireman?
That’s the beautiful logic of the Second Amendment fundamentalists. Two guys with guns are afraid of each other? Whoever survives is the Good Guy With a Gun.
Wait I thought that all that was needed to stop all violence was a good guy with a gun. So does that mean that LaPierre, the chief executive of the NRA, doesn’t actually own a gun, or that he’s not a good guy?
I’m going to go for the easy money and bet on the latter.
Funny that the guy trolling Wal-Mart (“I wanted to know if that Walmart honored the 2nd Amendment”) was Дмитрий Андрейченко. Are all Russians trolls now?
I’m not trying to be confrontational, but huh? Can you give me a little context here?
You should watch the video at the bottom of the linked article. There is more info there than in the printed article.
That’s the guy’s name in Cyrillic. He is Russian. He’s a troll. He’s a Russian troll.
Wonder if we’ve seen him around here.
Ah, thanks.
I spent a whole five minutes searching Google for evidence that trolls are a thing in Russian folklore and came up empty. I guess they had to make some up themselves.
No, no, no! Is “He is Russian. He is troll. He is Russian troll.” Did Walter Koenig teach you nothing about speaking with a Russian accent?
It’s the fault of the shoppers for being, what do they call it, “hoplophobes”. This asswipe was just doing some “exposure therapy” for their own good.
No, really, there are actual Dopers who explain it that way.
Yep, because nothing will reduce the carnage from the next shooter more than if people become accustomed to seeing armed men with body armor walking around.
So, Dimitriy has been charged. I wonder if lawyers are lining up to represent him. If the charges are dropped or he’s found not guilty, this could be a huge deal.
at it AGAIN???
What the ever loving fuck!
Oh yeah. 2nd mendmunt gun rites. Holy fuck.
Hulk no need puny gun.
Everyone goes shopping fully armed and covered with armor :smack:
How MANY mass shootings have there been? And how many were in gun “friendly” places (i.e. Nevada and Texas)?
So where the fuck are all the good guys with guns?
Hiding with that other shit bird La Pierre???
Where ARE they all?
As for LaPierre, he doesn’t care if any of us get killed. So in turn, I don’t care if HE does. No fucks will be given.
In a surprising development, I actually got this one more or less right. The bozo says he was conducting an experiment to see if Walmart honored the Second Amendment. I guess he wanted to be sure that one of the nations largest in gun retailers, who permits open carry in their stores, was committed to gun rights.
Fuck him anyway. I’m over all that kind of bullshit.
I USED TO BE on their side, I was pro 2A, until they went all full retard. Fuck 'em now.
From the linked article:
So anytime we see anybody carrying a gun in an open-carry state, we should scream “He’s got a gun!” and run for the exits. That would be causing a panic, yes?
Might be a tactic worth considering.
Not exactly the right place for this but what the hell.
Its pretty clear which side of the culture war Walmart’s lining up on.
