Video: Obama Supporter Would Rather Be Murdered Than Use Gun In Self Defense

“Self-defense is not an option.”

In video captured by CBS Atlanta, an avid Obama supporter states that she would rather die than exercise her Second Amendment rights to defend her own life with a gun.

The footage was shot during a protest against “stand your ground” gun laws at the Georgia state capital in Atlanta. The rally was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the day George Zimmerman was attacked by Trayvon Martin in FL.

The protester, decked out in Obama gear, bizarrely declared that “self-defense is not an option.”

“It’s not an option,” she repeated, admitting she would rather be a victim than be armed.

When the CBS reporter asked What if someone is trying to kill you?” the woman replied, “they’ll just have to kill me.”

Presumably the woman would also see everyone else be victims rather than having the right to defend themselves against murderers trying to kill them.

Other protesters at the rally took slightly more rational positions, with one noting that gun control only affects law-abiding gun owners, not criminals.

“I think that people should have the right to defend themselves. It’s our Second Amendment right and any sort of legislation on guns or any sort of gun control, all it’s doing is hurting the victims.” the protester said.

The Trayvon Martin case quickly became a cause célèbre for talking heads who tried to hijack the murky details of the incident to play the race card, immediately jumping to the conclusion that Martin was a victim of racially-inspired violence – including Barack Obama himself who infamously stated, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”

Doesn't she have a right not to want a gun? I'm surprised the author isn't also going after and ridiculing Gandhi and MLK?

see? freedom does exist

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

It is her right if she wants to be a victim, just dont try to trample on our rights if we perfer not to be..........

 

[Peyton Manning]

yeah, not the choice I would make, but if it makes her feel good...

 

[dieselram94]

One might say "survival of the fittest" Who wants to guess what the powers that be paid her for that display? What do you think Stockpicker? Your always saying follow the money....

Could be. Was Gandhi and MLK paid off. I know many of you are very "gung-ho" but not everyone believes that violence is always the right solution. Do you think civil rights movement would have been successful as an armed uprising?

Who is gung-ho? Not me....I hate violence. I hate the sight of blood All joking aside I really do not like violence as most on here don't as well. The civil rights movement was going to happen violence or not. Do you think MLK would approve of Obama? I doubt it......
I will check back later as I have to go back to work.

Civil rights activists, even those committed to nonviolent resistance, had long appreciated the value of guns for self-protection. Martin Luther King Jr. applied for a permit to carry a concealed firearm in 1956, after his house was bombed. His application was denied, but from then on, armed supporters guarded his home. One adviser, Glenn Smiley, described the King home as “an arsenal.” William Worthy, a black reporter who covered the civil-rights movement, almost sat on a loaded gun in a living-room armchair during a visit to King’s parsonage

. The 24 men and six women climbed the capitol steps, and one man, Bobby Seale, began to read from a prepared statement. “The American people in general and the black people in particular,” he announced, must

take careful note of the racist California legislature aimed at keeping the black people disarmed and powerless Black people have begged, prayed, petitioned, demonstrated, and everything else to get the racist power structure of America to right the wrongs which have historically been perpetuated against black people The time has come for black people to arm themselves against this terror before it is too late.​

Seale then turned to the others. “All right, brothers, come on. We’re going inside.” He opened the door, and the radicals walked straight into the state’s most important government building, loaded guns in hand. No metal detectors stood in their way.
It was May 2, 1967, and the Black Panthers’ invasion of the California statehouse launched the modern gun-rights movement.
The text of the Second Amendment is maddeningly ambiguous. It merely says, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Yet to each side in the gun debate, those words are absolutely clear.
Gun-rights supporters believe the amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms and outlaws most gun control. Hard-line gun-rights advocates portray even modest gun laws as infringements on that right and oppose widely popular proposals—such as background checks for all gun purchasers—on the ground that any gun-control measure, no matter how seemingly reasonable, puts us on the slippery slope toward total civilian disarmament.
.
Opposition to gun control was what drove the black militants to visit the California capitol with loaded weapons in hand. The Black Panther Party had been formed six months earlier, in Oakland, by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. Like many young African Americans, Newton and Seale were frustrated with the failed promise of the civil-rights movement. Brown v. Board of Education, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were legal landmarks, but they had yet to deliver equal opportunity. In Newton and Seale’s view, the only tangible outcome of the civil-rights movement had been more violence and oppression, much of it committed by the very entity meant to protect and serve the public: the police.

....so you bring your "smarts",to a gun fight............see who comes out of that one....the intelligent guy with the gun.....

I just think its worth considering the many example in modern time where great social and political change was brought about without the gun. Beyond Gandhi and MLK look at the fall of the Soviet Union and the iron curtain. Obviously soviet and Eastern European citizens did not have access to arms. Quite often the only thing an armed uprising accomplishes is a more heavily armed response. Something to ponder.

"Inform maniac in firm commanding voice that his possession of a firearm is illegal and the gun he has is prohibited. If said maniac does not respond, inform him again and then state that you are going to tell on him"

A smart person can shoot a gun as well as an unintelligent one. Special ops solders are not your "Rambo" stereotypes. They are highly intelligent.

And finally I would say you missed the major point which is an intelligent person would not go to the "gun fight". Best.

1.I agree. What are you basing your experience on? Your vast experience as an 11B or 0300? (nevermind, we have TV shows and Google now)
2. The very fact that you seriously just stated that someone can choose when a gunfight (whatever the hell THAT is supposed to be) happens is mindnumbingly naive.

"Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.” – Mohandas Gandhi, an Autobiography, page 446.

“If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.”. --Dalai Lama, Seattle Times, May 15, 2001


Yes - you heard that right... MLK was a gun owner.

Martin Luther King, Jr., known for peaceful resistance, at the same time recognized the importance of gun ownership for self-defense. King understood the risks involved in being an outspoken civil rights leader, living in Jim Crow era Alabama, and took measures to protect himself, his family and others around him.

King was a gun owner. In fact, he had a few guns–one visitor to the King family home described King’s supply of weapons as an “armory.”

Additionally, William Worthy, a journalist who covered the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, reported that he almost sat on a loaded gun while visiting King’s parsonage.

King had also applied for a concealed carry permit, but was turned down. According to John M. Snyder:

“At one time, King applied for a permit to carry a concealed handgun, but was denied. He was concerned for his personal safety, just as are a lot of law-abiding American citizens. “

Even though King’s house had just been bombed, his application for the concealed carry permit was still rejected. Few people in the US needed a permit to carry more than Reverend King did in 1956, but since the local police had some discretion in their decision making, King, who no doubt met the requirements of the law, was rejected nonetheless. This was the norm when the applicant was black.​

King obviously believed in protecting himself and his loved ones.
I don't think he would appreciate the gun control legislation which we are seeing thrust upon us because he knew that gun control was really about keeping guns out of the hands of people who others seek to oppress.
