Observe:
On Saturday, nearly 40 armed men, women, and children waited outside a Dallas, Texas area restaurant to protest a membership meeting for the state chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a gun safety advocacy group formed in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
According to a spokeswoman for Moms Demand Action (MDA), the moms were inside the Blue Mesa Grill when members of Open Carry Texas (OCT) — an open carry advocacy group — “pull[ed] up in the parking lot and start[ed] getting guns out of their trunks.” The group then waited in the parking lot for the four MDA members to come out. The spokeswoman said that the restaurant manager did not want to call 911, for fear of “inciting a riot” and waited for the gun advocates to leave. The group moved to a nearby Hooters after approximately two hours.

Right - because there is no better way to demonstrate courage, civility and maturity than by having your local gun goon posse pull up on an unarmed meeting of mothers in a public venue, mothers who have lost children and other family members to gun violence, whip out your killing machines and then pose menacingly outside in an overt attempt to intimidate their viewpoints through fear of violence. That is a tactic straight out of the Taliban's playbook for cowing and terrorizing the Afghan people and keeping them from expressing more moderate political or religious views.
Imagine if the scenario were reversed -- imagine if inside that restaurant meeting instead of a bunch of women meeting to discuss the horrific impact that wanton gun violence has had on their lives it were a group of local Republican political operatives gathering to discuss ways to further suppress minority and women voter turnout (which btw, there is no need to imagine it as it already is occurring). Then imagine a group of 40 African-Americans and Mexican-Americans and their women folk pulling up outside and yanking out their AK-47's and Tec-9's and positioning themselves in a confrontational manner to protest the goings-on in that meeting. Does anyone in their right fucking mind honestly believe that the Republicans and their supporters wouldn't be screaming like banshees about it and not only that, does anyone in their right fucking mind honestly believe that there would not be a heavy contingent of SWAT police racing to the scene?
These gutless assholes know that they are entirely incapable of competing in the arena of ideas, reason and conciliation, so like the thugs and bullies that they are, they resort to intimidation and testosterone-amped, macho bullshit to compensate for their tiny intellect and even tinier dicks.
The Gadfly is convinced that these gun goon loons truly want nothing more than to provoke some kind of violent incident wherein a few of their idiot brethren get shot and killed by police just so they can hold them up as martyrs - just as the Taliban do with their comrades who perish in pursuit of proselytizing their ideology. And they will probably get their death wish eventually. They want such an incident to happen so badly that it practically oozes from their pores.
All that The Gadfly has to say is that if there ever is a concerted movement in this country by the majority to restrict gun access and possession it won't be because of another 4 or 5 Sandy Hook massacres occurring -- no -- it will be because Americans will have finally had enough of these goons trying to transform our national society at large in to one gigantic version of a bloody shootout at the OK Corral.
Lastly - the final line of that excerpt above really says it all about these block-headed imbeciles -
The group moved to a nearby Hooters after approximately two hours.
Guns and tits. That is the sum total of their cognitive thinking capabilities.
