Strapped with pistols and AR-15 rifles, at least four men walked through Grand Rapids' Southeast Side Saturday in an effort to promote and "educate" the public on openly carrying guns in public.
One man, who declined to give his name, said if the public sees "somebody walking with a gun, despite everything the media says, there's nothing bad happening." The three other men also declined to give their names, saying they feared "retaliation."
A Grand Rapids police lieutenant said 911 dispatchers received at least one call about the gun-toting men. Officers responded to check out the report, then briefly talked to the men and found no violations.

The article repeatedly mentions four men. The accompanying photos depict four people, one of whom is shorter than the rest, wearing a skirt with leggings underneath, and carrying an AR with pink furniture.
Is that really a 'man'? If not, why does Mlive conceal the gender diversity of the group after the writer interviewed them?

Yep, four dudes, just like the reporter said. That is an odd looking kilt he's wearing though. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
