Me personally, I think it's pretty freakin awesome and will hopefully provide the visual society needs to demonstrate the senseless establishment of "gun free zones" without weapons there to protect those within those zones...

This afternoon, (12 Dec 2015) gun rights advocates will held an open carry demonstration near the University of Texas at Austin that ended with a mock mass shooting.

They say the goal is to put an end to gun-free zones, which they claim endanger the public.

Matthew Short, with Come and Take It Texas, explained on "Fox and Friends Weekend" that 95 percent of mass shootings happen in gun-free zones.

"There is an inalienable right to bear your arms, which is in the defense of our own persons and our property and our families," Short said.

Short added that he's offended by politicians calling for stricter gun control and more gun-free zones in the wake of mass shootings or terror attacks.

"I don't see how creating more 'victim killing zones' is actually a way of controlling these situations."

I'm torn on this one. To me, this has components of stupid and smart ideas all wrapped into one package.

While I am extremely pro Second Amendment, I'm still uneasy around yahoos carrying guns who have no training or experience!

I think it is Sick and Disturbed but not surprising considering the God Awful things I've seen said by Gun Enthusiast on Twitter. If Twitter was my only Gauge I would swear that every Gun Owner was a Card Carrying NRA, KKK, American Nazi, Oathkeeper Member that the only phrase they know in a foreign language is "Come and Take It" in Latin and this doesn't help the Image of any Decent Gun Enthusiast.
