As they’ve been doing on each third Saturday for months, advocates for the open carrying of firearms gathered — semiautomatic weapons in tow — at Dealey Plaza over the weekend. As usual the demonstrators, who call themselves Come and Take It Dallas, handed out literature and preened with their armaments of choice.
Wanting to make this trip downtown special, someone decided to film the group’s activities. That video has now been uploaded to YouTube. It’s a great watch, complete with direct camera addresses about foreign tourists who want to take the group’s guns and direct witnessing to a couple of kids. There’s even an extended, deeply weird shot at about the eight and a half minute mark featuring a street preacher decrying sexual iniquity intercut with images of an intimidating looking pink rifle. Check out the full video below.
