I lived in North Carolina for a long summer 20 years ago. I met gay people who were vocal supporters of Jesse Helms. The whole state is full to the brim of retards. (Except Winston-Durham area, the state's only redeeming spot since Fat City in Charlotte closed down).

Look, he's just exercising his 2nd Amendment rights. If you libs think he did a crime here, YOU should go to jail.

Winston-Durham? They moved those cities closer together? Weird.

This is one of those responsible gun owners I always hear about.

2nd amendment solution to 1st amendment problem? GENIUS!!!!

Does anyone know how this bill is faring? It's sad to think, but I'm assuming it'll pass simply because it's North Carolina.

I hope 4chan and /b/ dox him. I need the lulz

That's sad. Back in the good old days, we used to just piss on the signs...after getting drunk of course! I that is considered free speech, right?

Cythraul: I didn't know this was a common practice in North Carolina, subby.

Only a few more days until I get to vote against that horrible state constitutional amendment, not that it'll make any difference. I'm sure it'll definitely pass in this hick-ass state.

/NC native, still here, unfortunately.

It won't pass don't worry.

The most shameful thing about this amendment is how they tried to sneak it on the ballot for May 8th when they thought it was just going to be a Republican Primary, and therefore low turnout overall, but high conservative turnout.

GAT_00: Look, he's just exercising his 2nd Amendment rights. If you libs think he did a crime here, YOU should go to jail.

He's just joking. Why can't you libs take a joke? It's just a man with his gun, shooting it in a humorous manner. I swear, people can't even discharge firearms now without libs taking offense.

I apologzie for the amendment. I didn't bring it up nor do I plan to vote for it.

Again I apologize to all of you.

Cythraul:
He/she probably meant Winston-Salem. Just a guess. Or maybe Winston / Durham?

Sorry, was thinking Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill.

For the record, was this reported to the police?

Also, early voting has started.

If you are a North Carolinian and have the time BEFORE May 8th, go vote.

That line is old and tired....try to use something else, please.

No, it's perfect for my purposes. Do you find this to be a responsible use of firearms?

The GOP's Big Tent apparently has Saudi-esque morality police outside the door with small arms ready to shoot at anything that doesn't look white, straight, male, rich and Christian (prosperity gospel heretics only please).

Just when you think they've painted themselves into the tiniest corner possible they pull shiat like this.

*looks around*

Hey, where are the usual suspects to cry about how teh evil libs all wanna take this jackhole's 1st Amendment rights away?

/...or wotever their talking point on this is gonna be.

Seems to me a shotgun would have made a better statement.

I live here in Raleigh; the latest news I've heard still shows that support for this stupid amendment is greater than the opposition, but the percentages are closing up rapidly. Opposition against the amendment appears to be concentrated in the cities, with much higher support in the small town/rural areas.

The news story a day or so ago pointing out that people who don't think analytically tend to believe in religion appear to be taking place on this issue as well. The ones I've heard supporting it aren't high on the "think for myself" gauge...

Cythraul: I didn't know this was a common practice in North Carolina, subby.

At this point I'm surprised it isn't a common practice everywhere.

Shooting a sign you we're aiming at is respnsible. Shooting an old man you're hunting with is Vice-Pesidential.

Krymson Tyde: Seems to me a shotgun would have made a better statement.

Or at least a Glock handgun with a 30-round magazine. Those work well at Democratic political rallies.

CruiserTwelve: I'm thinking he didn't film himself. Someone else filmed him. Just a guess though, I could be wrong.

Yes, someone else filmed him, and he identifies himself and the cameraman by name on the video. Looks like he was in his own backyard, but that still won't change the fact that he is shooting on land that contains a house, which makes it illegal 'round them parts.

Cythraul: Yeah, they're effort to put it on a primary vote really pissed me off, as if no one would see through such a underhanded tactic.

I'm pessimistic, especially given how much I know my home state. They're are hicks here. Lots and lots of them. And in EVERY state where a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman, it has managed to pass. If it passed in California, I can't imagine NC has much hope.

:/

Trust me, I understand your skepticism. I guess I'm trying to stay positive this close to the final voting date. It is very hard for me to gauge the support this really has.

Reading that at first I was thinking the person doing the shooting was for gay rights and the signage was against it. But then after reading it further what you would expect was actually happening.

Krymson Tyde: Seems to me a shotgun would have made a better statement.

I'm pretty sure it IS a shotgun...

The bottom line is still that he shot at a sign. Not a person. If he had used some other weapon on the sign it wouldn't have even made the local news. This is just a made up controversy by the left.

/supports gay marriage, and gun rights.

He should be gicen a concealed carry permit, provided the weapn he carries is that 12 guage, an that he carries it in his ass.

This guy could be NC's answer to Joe the Plumber.

An icon right up there with Mama Grizzly, Sheriff Joe, Ollie North and the almost canonized Zombie Breitbart.
