Default Taliban at Gun show

Sunday I went to a Gunshow in Monroeville Pa,
There were three clowns in "Taliban" outfits there, these guys looked like they just crawled out of a mud hut in the Desert,
They were there to either cause a scene and get attention (which worked very well.) I would be surprised if they made it out of the parking lot alive with the crap they were saying to some people who confronted them.
They also were picking fight with the vendors selling the Infidel t-shirts.

They may have been followers of Islam, which is their choice. Two of the three of them were white men, which would have no baring on their religion. But you are walking into a gun show full of, God loving Americans who are either ex-military, active military, or just love their country .Big balls on those boys, big balls.

There was almost a floor mopping right in front of one table I was at.
These nut bars may have been a Media plant or College kids with nothing better too do, but they were playing a Dangerous game.

I'm not usually an agressive type of guy, but I dont think I could/would deal with that situation that good. If I were put in that "scene" I might have followed them to wherever the came from/car and opened up a can of something other then mace!
Joke or no joke, this is the U S of A!

That's just crazy. It does reek of media meddling, but even if it wasn't, the dudes are of questionable sanity to pull a stunt like that.

Anyone call the Cops? It would be interesting to find out who these Agent-Provocateurs are.

Seems like they were trying to provoke a fight. A lot of self control exhibited by exhibitors and the gun show attendees.

Way to go people.

Sounds like a stupid stunt for some stupid anti gun something or other. Trying to prove the people at gun shows are crazy or something. Try that at any other convention and try to egg people on, you'll probably get the same response that you get from gun show go'rs.

If a vendor threw them out of the place, I'd probably buy some ammo or possibly a gun from that vendor out of respect.

The thing is that these types of people are looking for angry responses. That is their intent. The proper response is to laugh at them. Loudly and in their face.

I agree with what 'pops" said....................................These types were trying to create a response that will enable them to bring negative attention to something while advancing themselves or their adgenda as being victimized.

Somebody ought to set up a table at one of these shows covered in rocks and label them "Sharia Stoning Stones".

I just can't imagine how a people engaging in 1st century religious practices can co-exist with those of us living in the 21st century. It's bad enough that they do this in their own country(s) but are we going to allow that practice here? And what about the disfigurement of their women for various infractions of Sharia law? Or the cutting off of a hand as a punishment for theft. It just goes on and on and.....

Is stoning going to replace incarceration and lethal injection as a means for implementing Sharia law in America?

Yeah, or set up BBQ stands and fry stations cooking PORK everywhere so that everywhere they walk they are constantly getting assaulted by pork. Ain't that supposed to send them straight to Hell? People walking around eating ribs, with greasy pork stained hands and such. And, of course, being the friendly nation that we are, we have to welcome them - shake their hands, pat them on the back, use their head towels for napkins, etc. Hell, why not just slaughter the hogs on site and cook the meat fresh? Make a good, old fashioned, Southern "get together" out of the gun show! I wonder how long a true muslim would stay in that atmosphere?

it dont take balls to be stupid , or nasty enough to try to provoke stuff

if this is as i read then the similar things that happened here are happening there in the USA

pray you dont have a big shooting and a mass move to ban guns as the result

One of the PA forms I go to suggest this was way too weird even for the media, one guy said it may have been college kids trying to get a you tube video, In any case, this could have ended badly. I have seen Muslims and young guys that looked like Gang bangers at shows. But these clowns took it to a new level, and got confrontational with everyone they came in contact with, they had only one reason to be there cause trouble.

Sort of believe that is their intented goal since they will have no end to their supply of Weapons, possibly even provided by the White House.

"Innocent people brutely beaten by gun-crazed red-necks" is not the kind of headline we want. It would give the evil ones a reason to shut down gun shows.

However, at some point we all have to scream "I'm mad as he11, and I won't take it anymore". When will we each reach that point - next year, next month, never, next tuesday? Just how much poking does it take to awaken a sleeping giant?

WE had some woman pull out a plastic gun and threaten people at a gun show and shoot here, , she was ignored until one vendor asked her in no uncertain terms to leave

she pulled another stunt but with friends a few months later

she built up a following , it just totaled more bad press totally blown out of proportion but then the Port Arthur shootings happened , and they just yanked the laws and put in gun control within 2 weeks, ( fastest a laws has ever been processed from nomination to writing to approval to imposing ) and the $2 Billion dollars to impose it found with a snap !

she is now a big time lobbyist

we have almost no semi autos , no auto;s , few handguns and what we have are number limited with inspections and licenceing and storage standards etc etc etc

it all ad's up when your scamming the population

add a shocking event .. BAM, bang in a new law , pound it through "for the sake of the children" or whatever and hi there welcome to gun control

why do i say this ?

look at the UK , and Australia, a couple EU countries, same pattern every time

knee jerk reactions that cut rights and guns from lawful owners ..

but the criminals wont comply ..
