44. I suspect that person knows exactly what it means.
Why do you ask? An AR-15 makes a pretty good attack weapon in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. The lack of full auto isn't much of a limitation against an unarmed crowd, now, is it?

Besides, he's not planning to fire it, anyhow. The goal is simply intimidation, as it always is with morons who walk around protesters displaying arms. Intimidation. Saying, "I could kill you if I wanted to. Be grateful I don't want to right now."

In this situation, his two firearms offer no other message. The message is intimidation.

I love guys like this. I'd like to walk up and get in their face and give 'em the business. They'd just have to stand there and take it. They can't draw down on you with two cops standing next to them, now can they? So, you can explain why they are morons right to their face.

And don't mistake me for an anti-gun person. I'm not. In fact, I just recommended that if this continues, some Pro-Obama people need to do the same, but while carrying Pro-Obama signs. Turnabout is a good way to defuse morons.
