Couple in MO being held as 2A heroes...

**BoringGuy45** · 07-01-20, 12:55

Too many 2A supporters are hailing them as badass heroes, and treating them like they're Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino growling "Get off my lawn!" THAT is a problem. They represent everything the left thinks is wrong with the right's stance on guns: Fat, white privileged boomers standing in the driveway of their mansion waving around an AR-15 at a bunch of black kids and telling them to get out of their rich, white neighborhood. Terrible PR.

This should be a moment of education: "Yes, for all those who said 'you don't need one of those weapons of war'...case and point, they're wrong. And yes, a person DOES have the right to defend their property. However, everything else those idiots did was wrong..."

I would not be surprised if they were arrested and that nice house burned in their absence.

If they aren't and it isnt it's only because they could afford the ransom.

Given their obvious upper class status I wonder if he has full rock-n-roll on that rifle.

My thoughts
The whole neighborhood should have been at the gates the second the gate was breached all down !

Or stay inside but be ready and the second they touched the door all down

Haven’t read much on this, but given the claims that they are supporters of anti-gun groups, is it in any way likely that they agreed to “take a fall” to make a negative point about the 2A viewpoint? Not to get too conspiracy-minded about it or anything

Eh, it is probably just a status symbol for him anyway. Having a full auto to show his buddies while sitting around the fireplace sipping 60 year old scotch is pretty cool. At the end of the day it did keep the riff raff off his lawn.

They probably picked them up last month amongst the other panic buyers.

You sir, get it! These are not people the gun community should be hitching their wagon to at all and they are in fact a perfect example of those we are battling against.
