Bloomberg Threatens NRA Convention

I have to say this. I have absolutely no use for Bloomberg's position. In fact, I continually post about the 'private property business ban debate' in which gun rights supporters buy into his deliberate strategy to make carry useless by location bans in places open to the public. But that's for another thread.

However, if his supporters abide by the law to demonstrate or lobby for his position, that cannot be described as terroristic and that the demonstrations (if lawful) should be interfered with.

Such a position is no different from the current thought police on college campuses who try to shut down speakers or harass and fire those who publish views that they view as not politically correct.

Liberty is not just being a gun fan.
 
Why don't some of you join opposing groups and see what they are up to. I do it, I read their books and go to their rallies when I can. What they really want is more disturbing than some of the rumors going around.
I've seen no evidence that individuals are paid to protest. But there is lots of facilitation of these events.
Most of the resistance leaders are criminals with a stage.
Corporations encourage employees to protest, many while on the clock.
Schools have allowed known criminals on public school grounds to protest.
Public high schools have let their students and STAFF go protest during school hours.
I have been to the protests, some of the participants are terrorists by all definitions. I support protesting, I don't support violence, arson and other property damage.
I have witnessed rioters using children as shields.
The news cleans them up good and proper.

Protesters are not getting paid directly, but participation is encouraged and sponsored.
Some protest groups are indeed terrorists.
 
I suppose a lot depends on how you define terrorism. One definition I’ve seen says something like, “the use of violence to create fear and achieve a political end” or something similar. Now, as a resident of Atlanta I’m considering attending the convention, but the images of black hooded masked men beating up people on the street gives me pause. Might these same folks roll into Atlanta? Quite honestly traffic and not the fear of a bunch of masked hoods will keep me away, but using violence or the threat of violence to scare people seems wrong to me regardless of what you call it.

I agree with you 100%. Peaceable assembly is just as enshrined in the constitution as the RKBA. Without further discussing paid protestors or not, I would cede that it doesn't matter. You have a right to protest (peaceably) regardless of your personal motive.
 
i am an ex liberal protester

in the early 80's i was protesting nukes, Reagan, war, death squads.

it becomes a lifestyle, the group i was affiliated with was selling weed and part of the legalize mj protest .

You can make money at protest selling newspapers, buttons, shirts, sandwiches, water, weed.

The groups "organizer" would raise money from Soro's/ Bloomburg types.
Work with anyone from FBI to Weatherman in pursuit of more money and drugs .

While not being "paid" I was sort of a professional protester - believe me- the retirement bennies truly stink.
These folks are drug addled paranoid idiots or intelligent paranoid malicious jaded crooked "organizers".

Rev Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, are two well known types but the liberal movement is chock full of wannabees - getting funding from madonna, Ashly judd, hollywood idiots .

WE CAN DO THE SAME TO THEM!

bloomburg/soro's do not go into courts and say "guns are bad" they pay lawyers to do that.

If we protested those law firms, pointing out how ridiculously racist these guns laws are enforced -we could do worse damage to them than they do to us.

we need to protest their companies and law firms, law firms like OM&M are really averse to protesters
 
Why the heck did they pick hotlanta? There are probably 500,000 potential disrupters there that will do it for a quick meth fix.

While I'm sure you could paint the topic in a typical media white discrimination against blacks thing, I'm not sure how your message would get out as the general media is pretty anti-gun. For the media, there are plenty of other avenues of race peddling that don't involve supporting causes they don't like.

Yes, there are plans for several protests I don’t expect any real violence, but around here blocking streets and Interstates is a common tactic. I wonder what happens when authorities try to provide access for Trump/VIPs and the Useful Idiots stage a “Die-In” in the middle of the street.

Update: Looks like Congressman John Lewis will be joining the anti-gun protest this weekend.

that's not the point.
A: gun laws are racist, ( see the racist roots of gun control by clayton cramer )
so its not painting anything, its plain provable fact ( also see the Thomas opinion in Heller or maybe it was McDonald )
B: Law firms loathe being protested, it an effective way to bring the fight to them.

The real problem is organizing "our" side to engage in an activity usually only "their" side does.

I feel it is important to utilize every tool we can, they are certainly using every tool they can to put gun owners in prison for doing things the cotus enumerates as our rights.
 
I was just about to follow up and say Blomberg needs some deeper pockets if this "protest" had backing and logistical support from him. And it didn't turn into a terrorist incident somthat was good...
 
I'm tired of protesters, and I support it mostly.
Yesterday, they threw a burning road flare into an occupied department store. That's not a protest, that's attempting to kill someone.
 
Bloomberg threatens NRA Convention

I take it that Atlanta PD and SS had some serious input in keeping the "Rioters" away. Where was the big mouth Democrat Congressman who said he was going to be there and part of it?
Atlanta PD were made aware of Bloomberg's statement, or the report there of.
In this part of the Country in Tn and GA we won't play the game they get in NY etc where their crimes would be tolerated and even encouraged.
Tn stopped BLM criminal nonsense completely at Elvis week last year in Memphis.
There have been several others too.
Kudos to the THP, on Memphis and to Atlanta PD and whoever else on this one

We need to encourage and insist that our Attorney Generals, and Governors, to get some ..... and go after the head of the snake Bloomberg, Soros and others, currently insulated by political influence.
Bloombeg never did answer for his agents making straw purchases, and lying on ATF Forms and state fraud in Va, Tn , NC, and couple other states.
And those are the tip of his crimes.
