St. Louis police released surveillance video of individuals carrying and firing weapons at a packed North City gas station parking lot.
‘Cruising’ is described as young people hanging out with friends and showing of their cars in public places. Now, police have noticed a trend in ‘armed cruising.’
Police have released video of people carrying assault rifles and firing them off into the air at the Energy Express Travel Center- Phillips 66 gas station located on North Broadway and Grand.
They appear to be AK assault rifles.
ReplyDeleteDear David Hogg:
If anyone thinks a total ban on "assault rifles" will stop these savages from getting them then they're not only naïve idiots but useful tools of the Democrat/Socialist/Communist party as well!
They appear to be AK assault rifles.
DeleteYes semi-auto.
I would think that indiscriminate, irresponsible discharge of firearms is in violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. --Ron W
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.
DeleteNot too sound like a broke record, and I know you know, but it isn't the guns.
ReplyDeleteBetter 1,000 times than none.
DeleteWow, just like their relatives in the congo. Wouldn't their daddies be proud?

DeleteAmazing that video is St. Louis, Missouri and not some shit-hole third world country or war zone.

Good point and would think so if it wasn't mentioned.
DeleteThe urban American version of the 'Technical'.
ReplyDeleteIf you support 2A (and open carry) unrestricted
and unrestrained, as the saying goes, "There it is".
Yep.
DeleteThis is not the lawful exercise of Constitutional "open carry" which would be done with holstered pistols and slung rifles. This is the reckless, irresponsible, public discharge of firearms which can result in serious injury or death. It is criminal action vs. the responsible exercise of a Constitutional right and discharge of a firearm only when defending ones self against a personal threat of serious injury or death; a diametrically, opposite difference! --Ron W
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it.
DeleteAmen and amen!
DeleteI did not comment on those weapons
Deletebeing fired. My point, other than mentioning
that they could easily operate offensively
im a 'Technical' capacity, is that so called "Open Carry" is what they were doing.
Saying that unless a rifle is slung, it's being
carried and used unsafely is utter nonsense.
There is no stipulation (in 2A) as to how rifles and pistols are to be carried, in order to qualify for the "right of the people to keep and bear arms" not to being infringed.
As I originally commented, 2A and (the invented term) "open carry" are mentioned separately.
It goes without saying that if you're 'bearing arms' it's going to be in the open.
Up until the "reckless, irresponsible, public discharge of firearms", nothing is going on
but the public bearing arms, regardless of those weapons eventually being used in a most stupid and unsafe manner.
Without question, any discharge of firearms "can result in serious injury or death", which is why there is no such thing as an unloaded firearm, ever.
The individuals "Right to Keep and Bear Arms"
is a God given birthright first, and secondly as a right in our American republic legally defended by the Constitutional law of 2A.
The Constitution does not establish the right to keep and bear arms. None of the provisions of the Constitution establish any "natural" rights.
They recognize such rights, and if they were repealed, it does not end these rights.
Well said, Anonymous! Yes the Bill of Rights are DECLARED rights of the People as the Presmble to the Bill of Rights explains.
DeleteMy reference to holstered or having a rifle on a sling was a reference to our Tennessee State Constitution DECLARATION of Rights in which the People declare their right to keep and bear ( carry) arms got self defense , but gives the Legislature power to regulate the WEARING of arms (how you carry) with a view to prevent crime. I suppose I was assuming that to be true in "open carry" States. But the 2nd Amendment has no such condition. Furthermore, there is NO enumerated delegated power in the Constitution for any gun laws pertaining to the People, but only "for governing such part of them (the Militia) as may be EMPLOYED in its service" (Article I, Section 8.16) And according to the 10 th Amendment, the fedgov may lawfully do NOTHING without delegated power. All Federal gun laws pertaining to the People, the Militia, are UNLAWFUL and UNCONSTITUTIONAL. --RonW
And I bet NONE of them are members of the National Rifle Association or Gun Owners of America. --Ron W
