Pro-Gun Activists Fantasize About Assassinating President Obama in Dallas

http://csgv.org/blog/2013/pro-gun-activists-muse-assassinating-president-obama-dallas/

"The bedrock belief of the modern pro-gun movement is insurrectionism—the perverted notion that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to shoot and kill elected officials, law enforcement officers, and military service members when one personally senses “tyranny.” And pro-gun activists are never shy about indicating they are prepared to use violence to get their way if the policy and lawmaking process moves in a direction they don’t like."

"The Facebook page Gun Rights Across America Texas contained some of the most vivid fantasies. Gun Rights Across America (GRAA), of course, are the folks who brought us the “Guns Next Door” event on October 19, 2013. The event encouraged gun owners to visibly arm themselves and “pass out candy or lemonade to the kids riding their bikes, and playing in the neighborhoods.”

Their plans for President Obama were equally unsettling. Making reference to an Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment protest planned in conjunction with the President’s visit (the founder of Overpasses is James Neighbors), a thread at the page called for supporters to give President Obama a “Texas size welcome” when he arrived in Dallas.

Commenters on the thread made it clear what they envisioned.

Take him via Dealey Plaza,” suggested Rosemary Barajas Carr of Daingerfield, Texas, referring to the site at which President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963."

“Can he have a parade just like jfk?” asked pro-gun activist Jennifer Prater

“Drive him past the old book depository,” said Derek G. Roesler of The Woodlands, Texas.

“I wonder if he will get the same Texas welcome as JFK..,” speculated Blake Meche of Corpus Christi, Texas.

“Eggs anyone or better yet bacon since he’s Muslim,” said pro-gunner Matthew Boles
.

These are the real faces of the "pro-gun" movement, and they are armed and dangerous thanks to the bought-and-paid-for corrupt politicians who are in the pockets of the ALEC/Koch Brothers funded NRA.

Makes you proud to be an American -- doesn't it?
