Demonstrators held an open carry gun march through South Dallas on Wednesday to protest police shootings.

Organizers said the show of force served as a reminder of the right to bear arms to protect themselves from criminals and from police.

About 30 men and women with the Huey P. Newton Gun Club rallied through the streets, focusing on deadly police shootings from the Ferguson, MO shooting death of teen Michael Brown to shootings by local police.

Wait, I thought this could never happen...

6. And of course, the obligatory penis reference.

Can't y'all come up with something new?

[IronGate]

8. Please, please, please,

come up with something new.
And y'all wonder why gun control is a non starter with most of the nation?
Well, just look in the mirror to find the answers with stupid comments like yours.

9. Let the gun nuts come up with something new.

This open carry in restaurants thingie is getting old.

[IronGate]

11. If it's getting old,

then why are more and more states passing laws allowing it?
And your use of gun nuts, not exactly the way to foster good relations with the gun owners of America, but keep up the culture war.

12. Looks like the jury laid the smack down

16. Wow 3 gun controllers suspended in 2 days!

That's gotta be a new record.

Excuse me, I meant to say; "What a heart break, where will we get 6 year old cartoons passing as serious debate now?"

[Duckhunter935]

22. and now we see how wants to have

polite and reasonable discussion.

the name calling seems to be normal but the jury results are king of surprising. They usually get a pass.

13. It's not about gun control or reducing criminal misuse of firearms.

It's about fanning the flames of the culture war and the fear of "the other".

19. If it helps to digest Tex-Mex, I'll consider it.

[DonP]

10. Black men and women with firearms have their dicks hanging out?

How very progressive of you.

Nice to see the gun control crowd finally showing their true feelings in the open.

[Duckhunter935]

23. sad it is

[bluestateguy]

3. The Black Panthers (old and new) have always opposed gun control

17. NBPP was the first group I ever saw demonstrating with rifles

that was 20 years ago near Houston.

4. I liked your post on that study by Kellermann a few years back

I keep seeing people continously cite this crap though. We need another thread.

18. Wait, why haven't they been shot!

I was assured repeatedly that any black people who ever tried this would be shot! Why hasn't this happened! My white privilege demands it!

20. "...Gun Club." A ring of stodgy conventionality...

I would have expected "People's Front for Defense...," "Armed Resistance Organization...," or the "Deep Ellum Urban Guerillas," but "Gun Club?" I'm envisioning a pleasant group of folks in pleated pants and shooting jackets wearing felt fedoras. Perhaps smoking pipes, wearing lipstick, driving Buicks.
