Adam Kokesh Calls for Peaceful Open Carry March July 4th from Virginia to D.C.

If he does do it, hes doing it with full intentions to being arrested and having it all heavily covered by cameras. He has a history of making small stands in DC, this would be the biggest one yet.
We need more people like Kokesh who don't mind sitting in jail indefinatly to test the waters. I'll be the 1st to admit that I don't have the balls to participate in that protest. Not because I would be afraid of getting into a violent situation, but because I don't want to go to jail for an indefinite amount of time.
I don't agree with A LOT of what Adam Kokesh says. I watch most of his videos. Some of them are spot on, some of them are rambling messages and some of them are laughable. But guess what? I would rather listen to him than some polished Mitt Romney ****ing robot lie to my face. People like Adam are what we need to get change done via means most of us wouldnt dare enter. He's a useful tool in the battle towards liberty, even if he is a whack job anarcho capitalist who has a little to much faith in his set in stone beliefs.
No ones perfect.
I feel as if they havent actualy passed anything as of yet that would spark enough people to want to do this,
If there was a actual gun grab/confiscation on the books beeing implemented, i could see this happening, but we know there a bit more sly then that,
I would think he is calling for this to try get us to show them the power of the people and possibly easy the constent abuse of power the government has used so far, and stop them from pushing more controle on us, but i just cant see it working,
not enough peope are fed up and ready to make this push

Along the same lines, but a little more

Armed march on Washington D.C. announced for July 4th: Is Adam Kokesh crazy, or courageous?
I'm sure if all that happens is Adam shows up, makes a scene, and gets arrested, then he will consider it a success. On the other hand, there is a pretty big opportunity for things to go really wrong, one way or another.

Adam Kokesh Calls Go Time, Calls for Armed March on DC
Shocked he hasn't got arrested yet ....
Shocked he hasn't got arrested yet ....
I hear ya but i still stand by my point, that since the government has been chipping slowly at our rights and not all at once, people just are not getting whats happening and are not pissed off enough to do something like this yet
People are pissed but i just dont see the anger to be high enough to Spark a massive protest at this time, i think alot of people are wating to see if some of the crazy crap that is in the works actualy gose through or not,

They won't need to arrest everybody n the spot. Videocams everywhere, DHS goons writing up license plates, and voila... Martha deems you unsuited to own, and you can kiss your guns good bye for life.
Don't carry a gun with no intention to use it. It actually IS that simple.
I get what you're saying, but should things ever hit the fan, and all hell breaks loose, eventually, you'll find yourself aside people of whom you don't know their background. few hundred years ago, you had farmers who didn't know each other meeting up to take back their rights. I do see what you mean though.
A few hundred years back, there was no armored vehicles, no snipers who could kill you at 1000+, no small group tactics worth talking about. The only way they fought was firing lines/farandoles. Communication was done through bugles and drums. No helicopters and drones either.
Nowadays, you work in a team or you will be the first body to hit the floor, it's that simple. Unless you're Tom Berenger of course.

Adam kokesh is a tool. If I were going to follow someone into "go time" it wouldn't be him.

They all want to go to heaven, but nobody want to die.
Chuck Norris wouldn't need 10,000 people to back him up...

If this were'nt the interwebs, I might be offended by that.
I am so against what they did in Watertown and all of Boston, if you've read ANY of my posts on the issue. But I know it's hard to separate me from others so all is forgiven. {{{hug}}}
I'm just saying that the overreaching overreaction illegal unconstitutional non-declaration of martial law, martial law was a natural progression from prior such illegal acts that they got away with. I'm saying there wasn't some sort of thought process about "Gee, if we lock down everybody now, we can do it better next year" They were "just" trying to capture/kill this guy without regard for the rights of the people.
Huh? Ghandi's protests were all unarmed, this guy is not talking about pushing forward and beaing beaten, he's talking about going armed to the teeth and then turning around. This is NOTHING like Ghandi, and it's just a disaster waiting to happen.
Neither were the rallies in Boston designed to provoke a reaction.

They wouldn't be there to back him up. They'd be there to watch

If you are a British soldier in Gandhi's day and throngs of people march on your position, it doesn't matter and did not matter if they were armed.
They opened fire anyway...

They didn't care in Tianamen either:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989
Again, I think this is a bad idea, but all rallies are designed to provoke a political reaction. This will undoubtedly provoke a political reaction. Whether it provokes a violent reaction remains to be seen, but the whole "firecracker" nonsense is just that. Like saying someone popping off a firecracker at a gun show would start WWIII because of all the guns...

The loss of community is a big part of many things wrong with governance today. We are a nation of strangers willing to tolerate rampant abuse of our neighbors because we feel no bond with them so long as "they don't come for me".
Somewhat inevitable with a nation of this size, but the solution is that virtually all governance should be local so that the effect on your fellow citizens is local, tangible and visible to you rather than regulating "them", "over there".
We have turned this whole thing upside down in centralizing governance for the sake of fighting institutional racism. Instead of punishing racist institutions for their misdeeds we traded local racism for Federal racism and along with it went a whole host of liberties unrelated to racism (as a consequence of centralizing power).

You're making my point; the analogy you made comparing Kokesh's protest to Ghandi's wasn't very apt.
Provoking a political reaction is fine, but marching an army up to another army and tweaking their nose is just looking for conflict. IMnsHO
We JUST witnessed contagious fire in Watertown. It's not because of all the guns, it's because of the tension between the sides. Have you never seen a brawl breakout at a baseball game?

If anyone wants to go pm me
Gandhi and Students in Tianamen were doing the same exact thing - they were thumbing their nose at those in power.

At least armed they might fare better than these guys!

Yet people still seem to go to Baseball games. Contagious fire isn't really the concern, it is to be expected. The issue is the first shot fired that cannot be justified.
We don't have to show up armed to make our point we just have to show up. The fact is that gun control advocates show up in numbers the pro gun forces don't even come close to matching.
We need to win people over to our side of the issue and I have found the best technique is to take a non shooter shooting. Bring them to the dark side with a round of sleet or some .22...

LOL I was referring to the players.
I wouldn't bet my life/license/anything on there not being a politician who isn't thinking clearly. Or an agitator - someone who wants "go time", nor a very nervous cop. At the middle of a bridge.
I am starting to see some movement in this direction. I even saw something on getting a few shotguns into the inner city (don't recall where).
I've been saying we need to get licenses and guns into the hands of the good people in the inner city so they can both protect themselves and be our allies in this fight. Nothing like the threat of the government coming to take away your handgun, and the insult of being denied a license by the chief of police because you live in a minority area -oops I mean an economically disadvantaged area- to bring you over to supporting 2A.
» D.C. Police Chief: We Will Arrest Adam Kokesh and Open Carry Protesters Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
He gives one heck of an interview with Alex Jones.
D.C. police chief chimes in on this link as well.
If Kokesh and the other marchers go though with this - their balls are of the 1775 vintage.
I would not be surprised if the Obama regime causes Mr. Kokesh to expire of natural causes before he can pull off this revolutionary event.
What if 10,000 armed marchers show up?
Would the police arrest all those people?
There were also be hundreds of armed people on the Virginia side who may not march but al least show their support.
