    What they are protesting is the potential destruction of the economy. If that happens you won't be able to go anywhere.

    I saw a map of the U.S. on TV this morning showing the states that were currently opening or partially opening things up. All were red states.

    They are fighting against an arbitrary loss of personal freedom at the hands of government.

    Not a single word of what you said is logical and therefore makes no sense whatsoever.

    I have no problem with that as long as they're obeying the law, which is Trump's position. The gun issue is in play because governors are denying American's civil rights by closing gun stores, despite the administration declaring they are an essential business.

    FWIW, in my free state it is legal to enter the state capitol building with an AR15.

    And speaking of black gun owners: https://www.npr.org/2018/03/31/598503554/african-americans-guns-and-trump

    It was Democrats who tried to disarm black gun owners during Jim Crow.

    :) No, I'm the one using facts and you are the one using emotional claptrap like ""freedom loving patriots making their voices heard""

    I think if you go on for 17 more pages posting the exact same thing, you'll convince everyone.

    You seem to definitely be acting emotional. These people are freedom loving patriots making their voices heard. Nothing more.

    Persistence is necessary imo. Ofcourse those whom I am discussing with seem to agree with that sentiment.

    I am not acting emotionally, I am writing.... YOU seem to have a need to claim "emotion"....

    If your ONLY defense of these people is that you think I'm acting emotionally you have no defense.


    I suppose these "freedom" loving jerks don't wear seatbelts, don't obey speed limits, run over pedestrians in the cross walk, don't pay taxes, don't license their pets, keep a clean house or contribute in any way to sustaining their country in their effort to retain their "freedom".....

    It is absolutely illogical and makes no sense. It's the gun-toting buffoons who are the aggressive Fascists.

    Incorrect, it’s absolutely logical and makes plenty of sense. They were freedom loving patriots making their voices heard.

    Incorrect, these freedom loving patriots who were making their voices heard stood I’m against their fascist oppressors and held their ground. They did a great job. You are simply being emotional and insulting.

    If you were in charge during The Ferguson and Baltimore riots, then it would been handled with much more aggressive tactics then as well. Hundreds of arrests?

    Or is it not constitutional to prohibit looting, burning, and shutting down streets? Actually using your example just carrying matches to a protest would be illegal.

    Who do you imagine is paying them?

    Odds are greater it's just citizens getting fed up with Mrs Hitler trying to run their lives, some people are funny that way. Besides, it's not a Democrat rally, they dont need to be paid.

    Groups in opposition to the supposed LW paid protestors.

    I doubt it. At least the armed ones.
