Where Are The 2nd Amendment Zealots To Defend People Actually Being Attacked By Out Of Control Gov?

At the Bundy ranch, white anti-government militia wanna-bes pointed loaded firearms at federal employees and law enforcement officers in the support of a criminal, and nothing happened.

In Ferguson, MO, a young African American was killed by a police officer for jaywalking, and the city and county police have attacked the mostly African American citizens with baton rounds, tear gas, armored vehicles, and riot gear while threatening them with automatic rifles.

Where are all the 2nd Amendment open carry zealots to defend people who are actually under attack by an out of control government?

Yeah, I thought so.

Police Dispatch Tapes From Michael Brown’s



Anonymous has obtained and released St. Louis police dispatch audio from the day Michael Brown was shot and killed by a Ferguson Police Department officer. The audio is largely unedited and contains police codes throughout the recording.

It appears that Ferguson police called for additional cars, officers and K-9s from different precincts to control crowds—and waited several hours before calling in an ambulance for the 18-year-old Brown. His body lay on the ground for hours, uncovered before it was attended to. Shooting

But I'd rather not have more weapons in the mix. The entire area should be declared a weapon-free zone (enforced for the cops as well as the residents) for the next 6 months.

Then what? Will you support them, call for them to to join the crowd in an armed non-violent protest?

Or should the people start violently opposng the police?
