For your enjoyment here are some of the more amusing comments left on the Kalamazoo Gazette article about this past weekend’s Open Carry Picnic in Kalamazoo’s Bronson Park. Offered without comment.

These nut jobs that like to walk around wearing guns to compensate for their lack of abilities elsewhere are to pathetic to even mock. I’m sure you could find a nutty Ron Paul supporter or racist rapture waiting survivalist in the group if you looked a little deeper. Most “2nd amendment advocates” shouldn’t be aloud scissors much less the right to carry their gun around in public.

The 2nd Amendment refers to a “militia,” i.e. military.

There is no need for private citizens to own firearms of anykind. It simply should not be allowed.

Approved hunters can rent rifles from appropriate DNR offices.

I also forgot to mention. If you get a CCW license YOU HAVE TO CARRY IT CONCEALED. With a CCW license you can never carry a gun exposed other than for hunting.

This is just boys wanting to play modern day cowboys.

This is just the latest way for certain males to feel more like a “man”. There must be something missing when you feel the need to carry a gun. And not just carry a gun, but have it out for all to see. Like, “look at me, I can’t handle myself very well, so I’m carrying a gun”. I feel very safe and comfortable without a gun. I guess I’m just more secure than those who “need” to carry a gun, pathetic.

While your “exposed handgun carry” butt is one the ground spread eagle with cops pointing their weapons at you, I will stand calmly by with a CONCEALED 9mm in the small of my back laughing at your constitutiuonally correct butt.

Simply stated, you have a choice here. Carry your handgun gun hidden like a colostomy bag where nobody calls the cops on you OR carry a hand gun exposed and be a cop call super magnet.

Your choice buddy…….you do what turns you on and I will send you a tube of toothpaste and postcard while you rot in jail demanding your Constitutional gun rights.

Where in the 2nd amendment does it say that a bunch of 80 IQs get to wander around public parks wearing their guns on their belts? It’s one thing to own a firearm for home defense or for hunting on private property. What gives some of these wingnuts the impulse to carry a gun around in public? Are they that full of fear and impotence that they feel its necessary? From the comments here I would judge that to be the case.

Some of you people need to lose your fear of dangerous others who want to strike when you are without your “great equalizer,” especially in public. If I ever found myself in a dangerous situation I would like the help of a professional law enforcement officer not some half baked paranoid Ron Paul voter who wants to be a hero and unecessarily escelates a situation without need.

So who are you defending yourself from? The boogie-man? People that look different from you? Your own cowardice?

Do you realize that you are considerably more likely to get killed or injured with your own firearm than detering a crime with it?

The fact is you do not need – and should not have – a personal firearm.

You yokels hardly seem a well regulated millitia to me.

The bottom line is that people who just plain like guns and fear “other,” people not only make us less safe with their itchy triger fingers but they hold back our society by advancing their cause of fear, paranoia, and mistrust of not only our fellow man but of our government, our soldiers, and our law enforcment officers.

We need an activist, aggressive government to deal with a collection of difficult, controversial issues right now, not the least of which is man-made global warming and urban sprawl.

America can’t have greedy, invidualist, “I got mine,” cowboys underminding the government and the needs of the majority of citizens.

What happened in this park is a slap in the face to governmental authority (elections have consequences people) and a chilling precedent. It should never be allowed to happen again!

I will never understand why people think this is a good idea. Seems to me people are trying to find excuses (”the constitution says I can”) to act like clowns. The fewer guns that are available to everyday citizens the better.

I suggest Icemanzero move to the libertarian paradise of Somalia where he can carry whatever kind of gun he wants when and wherever, and never have to worry about the government intruding on his rights. A land without government! Must be a paradise! Let us know how things to over there.

Do you seriously expect me to live in fear of an armed person robbing me at gunpoint? I realize that many people in the country “need” fear as motivation (terrorism, socialism, Obama), that must include you, but I do not need fear. What are the odds you’ll be robbed at gunpoint in this country? Alot lower than that gun you carry being used in a domestic violence incident, or being stolen form your house, or your kids finding it and playing with it. But hey, it’s legal and it makes you fell better *rolling eyes*.

Icemanzero the Gov’t is not trying to take away your rights, and if you were a student of the constitution and the founding fathers you would know the document was not designed to be stationary but to change with the times. For instance we no longer have well regulated millitias we have a bunch of dullards walking around in public parks carrying hand guns and asking to see the president’s birth certificate.

I want to put a moratorium on the term “typical liberal.” It’s completely overdone and condescending. Oblige or I will shoot you with a gun.

Wow! too bad the Community mental health guys weren’t called. When do you get a chance to find that many people in one place suffering from paranoia?
