    1. People walking around with assault weapons and you comment on the fact there was no violence??? that’s a about as stupid an observation as I’ve ever seen, mind you coming from a knuckle dragging imbecile like you its not surprising..

    2. @complexadaptivelol walking around with legal guns in a open carry manner in a state that allows it is not VIOLENCE. thats about as stupid a claim as Ive ever seen. just because YOU dont like someone carrying something you dont like while theyre minding their own business, that doesnt make it violence. and if you think it does, you need to get your head checked or just never leave your safe space

  1. “he appeared to be advocating for using guns against the government” Yes. That’s literally the reason we have the 2nd amendment

    1. @Roboman more bullshit. As I have said, most Dems see the gun debate as a minor plank. Too many real problems to deal with. So I don’t know where you get your info. But it ain’t accurate.

    2. @J. Ray Redden US (meaning everyone) are special if anything, when did I ever single myself out? That I and only I deserve STANDARD 30 round mags, the point is to be on somewhat of a level playing field to the government. Your argument is they have the military but the military doesnt fight for the “government” they fight for the IDEA that the government fights for the people, but if one day that IDEA ceases to exist then I highly doubt they will go against their own people, and if they do, then THAT IS EXACTLY WHY THEY (ar 15s ect. no or little mag restrictions ect.) NEED TO BE KEPT. I could care less about a 100round drum magazine or whatever, they’re useless.However 10 is literally nothing, 10 rounds is an absolute joke. Sure chances are you wont need more than 10, but chances are that you wont need a gun at all either, except were doing away with them because of the claim that we dont need them and they’re harming others, and if that’s the case, then we need them! It’s pretty simple. If you feel unsafe buy body armor. I dont see why every person in america doesnt have some in some shape or form anyway. It can’t harm anyone. Period.

  2. So there was a peaceful pro second amendment rally in Virginia, so what?

    Yes the idea to keep and bear arms is meant to protect against tyrannical governments.

  3. The media wants to tag Charlottesville with this. Not even the same. There’s more to the laws they’re not reporting.

    1. @zimtuff I sincerely wish that you would cull yourself..

      You are just too stupid to be of any use to society.

    1. Of course. I had a good time meeting like minded people today. Support from your sister state, West Virginia

    1. @Boam Boam That may be the case, but it certainly is a fight we are willing to take. God forbid it ever comes to it though. My question to your question. Based on your logic, if the US was tyrannical and decided to invade Lebanon or some other third world country with little to no chance of winning, should they just give up because they stand no chance? I would say no they should not. Why should we do the same?

    2. Free to get screwed over with low wages, the most expensive health care in the world, The rich getting richer but hay still got the guns

    3. @Boam Boam There’s no reason why they shouldn’t thin out the herd. They serve no real purpose other than to spread their murderous gun disease onto their children. Those who aren’t culled should be tranquilized and sterilized so they never get to procreate.

  4. Oh no, use guns against an unconstitutional government? Who would do that? Oh that’s righf the people who founded our country. DOH!!!

  5. A governor who wore black claims white supremacists are a threat? I saw a lot of video footage and what she is not telling you is that there are blacks, asians and Hispanics protesting too.

    1. @Historical Accuracy that rally was filled with white supremacist and so called”non racist” whites dont mind walking side by side with them. They all racists

    2. @Tom Long white people marched shoulder to should with white supremacist. They are the same just one person is not scared to admit it

  6. “When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”

  7. This comments section is honestly refreshing, it’s so nice to see people can see through the mainstream media’s lies and biases.

    1. I want to cry of proudness for this people, they made history defending their real rights, rights that are fucked where I live, that’s why I’m so proud, I hope one day we follow their path

  8. Someone already pointed it out, but CNN seems so concerned about white supremacists in the crowds, yet they willfully send a black woman to do the reporting? And not to mention all the black people there at the rally?? LOL Must not be that concerning.
    CNN FAIL HARD

  9. CNN is intentionally trying to make this look like a white nationalist event when it isn’t, at least they have to pay 200 million dollars to a 16 year old for lying about him

    1. @Why so serious? nice whataboutism. YOur idol CNN is dishonest. They always have been. Time for you to face the facts.

    2. The leftist assault on 2A:

      Step 1: link semi autos like AR15’s and AK47’s with actual, fully automatic weapons of war by saying they look like weapons of war.

      Step 2: once this door is opened, use it to ban more and more semi auto rifles.

      Step 3: rinse and repeat as often as necessary.

      Step 4: try to falsely link gun owners with white supremacy and fascism when fascist Nazi Germany virtually banned gun ownership.

  10. Hey CNN we learned for things today:

    1. Your propaganda, and Ralph Northam’s so-called intelligence was wrong.

    2. Guns don’t kill people.

    3. Walls work.

    Northam should be impeached.

  11. “Some of them look like soldiers.” Some of them ARE soldiers. And was he using the word soldiers as a negative?
