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

[Diamondback]

I looked these two up at OpenSecrets. There are two Mark McCloskeys--the one in MO is a big Bush donor, the other in another state is the big Dem. Patricia McCloskey is a big, multi-time Trump donor.

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

Unlikely based on their donation history I noted above. It's possible, but in about the same class of likeliness as John Roberts spontaneously growing a pair of testicles and evolving into a man.

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

One of the close up pics of the rifle that I’ve seen shows no bayonet lug to be present so I suspect it’s one of the “neutered” A2 styled sporters that Colt put out. Perhaps the (gag) HBAR model.

I look at it this way. Are they heroes? Debatable.

Did anyone die? Nope. Did the intent of the Second Amendment work (deterring tyranny)? Yep.

Lots of Karens in this thread. "They didn't America the way I wanted them to"

Armed citizens defended their private property that was unlawfully entered through a gate that was broken down by a mob of would be rioters/looters.

If you look closely it’s a Blue Label pre-94 Colt AR15.

The lady reminded me of "Yolanda" from Pulp Fiction. (The restaurant robbery scene)

Samuel Jackson: "Tell that bitch to chill!"

Ringo: "Be cool hunny-bunny!"

I suspect that's WHY it worked our for them. They know the usual law abiding gun owners who might have shown up at the door with plate carrier, rifle, and complimentary hawaiian or 80's neon ain't gonna do shit because they're to scared of the consequences; they think they still have something to lose.
A couple soft, white bread rich people panicking because suddenly the National Geo special is on their front lawn? Yeah, they're crazy enough to cap a fool if you keep scaring them, and probably rich enough to get away with it.

Ultimately, this. Sod all this handwringing bulls***. So they're not the Very Best Sort of people we want representing us; Maybe they're not big 2A supporters, or voted wrong, or donated wrong, or bitched out and groveled later.
Well, so what? You fight with the army you've had thrust upon you.
The sad fact of the matter is that a lot of other people have done nothing. The police have (mostly) done nothing. And it looks like most of the police and public at large aim to keep doing nothing while Rome burns.
These two DID something. The only thing the complainers are doing is giving ammo to the prosecution.
Luckily it worked out fine for all involved, so let's rejoice while the sun's still shining and we have some great propagantastic memes to share around, eh?

Yes. Thank you.

I agree. This is like the recent thread where folks were complaining about Colt selling to the public again.

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..."

Negative those are just the memes talking imo
