It's amazing how something that hasn't lead to any violence, has prevented violence of the other side, is somehow a call for violence.....
Exactly. UNION THUGS STARTED THE VIOLENCE, Gun owners STOPPED IT. Without firing a shot, drawing their weapons, being aggressive or even rude. If there is anything in the world worth killing a man over, it's your life and liberty. The law allows (in most states) to defend your life and liberty from aggression.
Is it time to "water the tree of liberty"? Uhhh.... no, that time came and went. We keep drawing lines in the sand, and backing up. Eventually we will hit a wall however. I don't know at what point we'll hit the wall, and as a family man all I can hope for is that the side opposing liberty will see the potential for armed resistance, and back off, so that we can retake lost ground. Judging by the reaction of those in power, and the absolute hysterical incontinence of the media, it's my oppinion that people OC'ing at these events were a positive step at both pushing back tyranny, preventing a real conflict, and showing everyone else we can OC, and nothing bad happens.
