Libertarian activist and radio host Adam Kokesh is hoping to get 1,000 people to march on Washington on July 4 — armed with loaded rifles. The plan, launched with a Facebook group today, is to gather on the Virginia side of the Potomac, where gun laws are lax, and then march across the bridge with loaded rifles slung over their shoulders into the District, where openly carrying weapons is generally prohibited.
“This will be a non-violent event,” the Facebook group warns, “unless the government chooses to make it violent.” Already, over 200 people have said they’ll attend the march.

Agreed. Traffic on 95 will make it impossible for that many people to gather on the VA side of the river at the same time.

I picture 50 guys showing up, milling around, and going home. Or, the leader calls it off claiming some kind of government conspiratorial oppressive bullshit - or both.

It only takes one idiot that's intent on suicide-by-cop to make this thing go very poorly. If a thousand people show up, the odds of there being this type of idiot are very good. Pass.
i think the genius who thought this up is a plant by ? to facilitate the assassination of 1000 Libertarians.
Coming up next, encouraging civil disobedience by grabbing for cops' guns in holsters.
