Whoops!
"The plan was for everyone carrying a gun into the chambers of the
Washington House gallery on Saturday to get arrested — an antigovernment
act of civil disobedience to call attention to the state’s new gun
control law. But as the crowd of about 50 antigovernment gun owners
gathered in the drizzle, waiting for the right moment to go it, the plan
hit a snag.
The legislature was not in session. The governor was gone. The House
gallery was closed and the doors to it locked. In other words, there was
nothing there that the gun owners — who toted a variety of weapons to
the protest — could do as an act of civil disobedience to protest a ban
on citizens bringing weapons in the state House and Senate chambers."
How embarrassing for these right-wingers!
Normally I don't post things from social media outlets.
Like many sites, LinkedIn has its share of cesspool and idiocy. That being said, this came up, and it does reflect a lot of what I have both...
