A gun rights activist protested an assault weapons ban bill over the weekend by showing up at the house of the Virginia lawmaker who proposed it.
Del. Mark Levine, a Democrat from Alexandria, said Brandon Howard, head of the Right to Bear Arms Virginia group and Hopewell GOP chairman, showed up to his home with a “military-style semi-automatic shotgun and pistol,” Virginia Public Media reported.
Levine told the news outlet he called the police after he saw a protest event on Facebook. Levine said Howard posted his address on the event and read it in a Facebook video he posted. |

| Kind of a dumb stunt, but what the devil is a “military-style semi-automatic shotgun and pistol”?? Is that one of them thar shotguns that shoots over 100 cartridges a minute, with a 20 clip magazine and a black trigger? |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
