Yesterday, Ashby covered an armed march on Washington scheduled for July 4th by a pro-gun militia group. Well, they’re kind of chickening out. Or, at least, they’re protesting against the federal government — but they’re asking for permission from the federal government first. From their Facebook page:
UPDATE 130506 Now that it’s undeniable that this is going to happen, allow me to make clear how. There will be coordination with DC law enforcement prior to the event. I will recommend that they do the best they can to honor their oaths and escort us on our route. Failing to provide that commitment to safety, we will either be informed that we will only be allowed up to a certain point where we would be arrested. If this is the case, we will approach that point as a group and if necessary, I will procede to volunteer myself to determine what their actual course of action with someone crossing the line will be at which point fellow marchers will have the choice of joining me one at a time in a peaceful, orderly manner, or turning back to the National Cemetery.
What big men they are. And yes, they misspelled “proceed.”
