somebody is going to pull the trigger, and a massive bloodbath will ensue.

How will they determine who the alleged law violator will be? Can simultaneous stand-your-ground be viable? Stay tuned.

These yahoos wouldn't know the difference. I was thinking along the same lines.

non-Caucasian persuasion, I would give these deranged loonies a VERY wide berth. They are just ITCHING to feel threatened so they can "stand their ground".

that's exactly what they are. They are using their weapons as a means to intimidate and scare the shit out of people.

Joe Barton is the Texas congressvarmint who apologized to BP for our sand getting into their oil. He is also the guy who stopped research into into autism because he feared it would sow that pollution was the cause. No, seriously. He is that freekin evil. They call him Smokin Joe because he loves pollution. He makes the Tea Party look like bunch of liberals at a Karl Marx birthday celebration.
Okay, remember the group of wee winkie guys who protested the four women meeting for sense able gun control? Well, the agent agent provocateur of that group, Kory Watkins, has announced that he is going to run against Joe Barton in the GOP primary because Barton is not conservative enough.....
The mere fact that guy with this much of an inferiority complex is walking the street concerns me. And by concerned, I man makes me snicker.
Ill keep yall updated on this race because I aint missin one minute of it. Theres gonna be weird stuff happening.

That does sound like a recipe for disaster.
