Ask us about our AK-47s

Meet the newest poster boys for better gun regulation. Two 22 year old lame-brained gun nuts terrorize a Portland neighborhood by casually strolling the street armed to the teeth. These two idiots are probably just attention whores who wanted to see themselves on the teevee but that doesn't make them any less dangerous to the public safety. But of course they claim the best of intentions.

The men told officers they were hoping to educate the public about gun rights.

"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.

“This happens to open that line of communication, to let people know that you can defend yourself in a time of crisis or any time that you want to,” Boyce added.

Meanwhile, the residents and business owners were sent into panic mode, locking doors and hiding in closets while flooding the police with 9/11 calls. The police mentioned to the dimwitted pair this was wasting law enforcement resources and could interfere with responding to actual threats. They were not impressed.

Warren said he hoped people would approach them and talk to them, instead of calling police.

"What they really should do is observe the person to determine if the person is aggressive," he said of seeing someone with a gun in public. "We're not doing anything threatening to anyone."

Right. Because who among us, when seeing two big, beer-bellied 20 somethings on the street carrying semi-automatic assault rifles doesn't immediately want to run over and ask them about their black guns? Especially in the aftermath of Sandy Hook and the numerous shootings since.

They say it's not the first time they've pulled this stunt. It's not illegal. Maybe we should do something about that.
