I’m a 42 year old white dude. I live on the north west side of Chicago and with the ICE stuff happening, my time working as a shooting instructor at a summer camp in college is coming back to me. I don’t own a firearm but am comfortable shooting everything from a .22 handgun to a 44 Magnum and am comfortable with a rifle up to a .308 with accuracy at 100 yards (we only shot up to 100 yards).

I’m a huge fan of what the Black Panther Party did with the rifle displays on the capital steps and feel like a collection of liberal gun owners organized and showing up in Broadview would be a good way to exercise our 2nd Amendment Rights and also legitimately protecting our neighbors.

My wife thinks I’ve watched too many action movies and doesn’t want me to get hurt.

I feel like a .45 ACP 1911 and a pistol grip .308 would be a wise decision given where we are as a country and what might happen in my neighborhood.

  1. That sounds great! I hope you do go out and exercise those rights we defended for you. You’re the reason we fought to preserve them.
    I hope you’re able to get a FOID in time to buy some guns and ammo in time to train and practice with them before the events that concern you.

  2. The left is expending a lot of energy simping for criminals, rapists, drug dealers, pimps, thieves and the people who aid and abet them.
    When they hold up the likes of St. Floyd as the standard-bearer for righteousness what else should we expect?

  3. She said it. “You watch too many action movies”

    It’s too bad he hasn’t read,
    “Shadow of the panther huey Newton and the price of black power.”
    Or
    “Revolutionary suicide”

    In the beginning, they were a good group. Unfortunately one of the founders was a very bad criminal. He got even worse when he started using drugs.

    Something the three L’s celebrate.

    He should research the woman Betty Van Patter. And learn what happened to her.

    Any end of it all in the latter 1970s. The Left, black and white, joined the “state” instead of fighting against it. And became full throated supporters of gun control.

    Now they are like the NFAC. A group that got guns but keeps having negligent discharges when they appear in public.

    Btw
    My father did work with a member of the black panthers. In California. So I know a little bit more about the group than most people.

    You should avoid all Undisciplined people who have guns.

    1. Chris what are the 3 Ls: “Something the three L’s celebrate.”
      or who are the 3 Ls?
      Do you mean the 3 shots fired at funerals?

      1. Libertarians Liberals Leftists

        And I will add that these people don’t live or work anywhere near the destructive policies they support.

        Joe Roagan is a perfect example. He supported all that crap in california. Until he didn’t.
        And left for a more conservative area of the country.

  4. …a collection of liberal gun owners organized and showing up…and also legitimately protecting our neighbors.

    By “neighbors,” he means criminals being sought by federal authorities. By “liberal gun owners showing up,” he means an organized and usually violent act of revolt or rebellion against an established government or governing authority by a group of its citizens.

    There’s a word for that. It rhymes with “surrection” and begins with ‘in.’

  5. he’s a stones throw from me.
    his comments were plucked out of a disjointed fever dream.
    can’t wait to hear how parading open carry on the naperville riverwalk turns out for him.
    cook and some collar counties contain lots of this champagne socialist type delusion.
    protect his neighbors? if they assault his fambly does he still not want them got gone?
    it sucks that some local municipalities are standing down, but some sheriffs are not and it looks to not matter. the feds are here, idiot.

  6. “I feel like a .45 ACP 1911 and a pistol grip .308 would be a wise decision given where we are as a country and what might happen in my neighborhood.” Well I can’t argue with his choice of tools. Unfortunately, he is the giggest tool of all.
