What would happen if they threw a gun party and nobody came?
Ask organizer, Jason Spitzer:
"I don’t know why," he told the Times-Dispatch.
Ask a stupid question................
Let's ask someone who has more than two brain cells to rub together:
“I thought it was some Independence Day thing with the flag,” said a street folk singer who watched them pass by her open guitar case.
See? Even with their guns hanging out, their point was completely missed.
More than 300 people were invited on Facebook to walk down Cary Street on July Fourth with handguns, rifles and other so-called “long guns” proudly displayed.
Two showed up — and they were the organizers of the midday event in the family-oriented Carytown shopping district.
“I don’t know why,” said organizer Jason Spitzer, 29, when asked to explain the low turnout for what he described as an Independence Day demonstration to “spread Constitutional awareness” of Americans’ Second Amendment right to bear arms.
“But even if nobody came I’d still walk,” the Chesterfield County steel mill worker said, holding a large American flag in his hands, with a rifle slung over his shoulder and a holstered handgun on his hip. “It’s the Fourth of July and I love my country.”
Can't love your country without a gun in your hand?
I can.
But, perhaps we don't love the same country?
In Carytown on Friday, most of the people interviewed said they had no problem with Spitzer and his cohort, Scott Royle, 26, also of Chesterfield, exercising their rights.
But most questioned the motivation — and the time and place of the demonstration.
“People need to be aware that they can carry a weapon, but at the same time you’ve got to be mindful of your environment and who else you are affecting,” said Carytown merchant Christopher Turner, 29. “It’s not just about you.”
“It’s a little weird in Carytown on the Fourth of July,” said Bryan Walthall, 30. “I think they are a couple of dudes looking for attention.”
I'm still waiting for a demonstration of the lack of nudity laws in Vermont. Legal for your willie to be out, just like it is to have your gun out in Carytown.
Just don't wave either of them around.
