Second Amendment: Hoplophobes Cause Panic in Portland.

Two law abiding citizens questioned by Portland police. Imagine the media outrage had these two been say same sex couple or looked like Obama’s brothers Evidently white heterosexual males have no rights the Portland police deem to recogniza:

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV [1]) -Two men carrying assault rifles on their backs said they were simply exercising their Second Amendment right, but police said they scared plenty of people.

Calls started coming in to 911 dispatchers shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday. Callers said two men with guns strapped to their backs were walking through the area of Southeast Seventh Avenue and Spokane Street in Portland’s Sellwood neighborhood.

[…]

“Exercising my rights with a rifle to try to decrease the demonizing of peacefully exercising your rights in public,” one of the men told Fox 12. He said his name is Warren, but did not want to provide a last name.

Portland police identified the men as Warren Drouin and Steven Boyce.

Note he Portland police revealed the names of two law-abiding citizens. More proof the information about a citizens personal weapons is too important to trusted to the government.

Addendum: Nor shocking but ironic, While the Portland police hassle two law abiding citizens, the District of Columbia gives a free pass to the felon David Gregory, from William A. Jacobson, Legal Insurrection [2]:

David Gregory will not be prosecuted

Gregory goes free “despite the clarity of the violation of this important law”

Just released by D.C. Attorney General there will be no prosecution of David Gregory despite a finding that there was a clear violation of the law

Even more reason not to trust the state.
