In a video posted to his YouTube page earlier this
week, a male open carry nut-job went on a profanity-laced tirade
against the gun control advocacy group Moms Demand Action regarding
their efforts to convince supermarket chain Kroger to ban customers from
openly carrying firearms in their stores. Robert J. Kinnison, who posts as Raging Rob on YouTube,
told the group to “shut the fuck up” and to “put a dick in your mouth,’
among other expletive-filled demands of the group. He also told Moms
Demand Action that he would film himself walking in and around a local
Kroger with his gun in full view, which he posted on Thursday.
Liberaland posted a censored version of Kinnison’s rant on their site on Thursday.:
Kinnison’s video showing himself going into
Fry’s, which is an affiliate of Kroger. The video is of poor quality
and there is some profanity throughout. Also, while he is technically
open carrying his handgun, he has it tucked in his front pocket with his
shirt covering it most of the time.
Open carry agitators may hate to be lumped in with
guys like Raging Rob, but this is the face of their so-called
movement. While they would like to make others believe that this is all
about protecting their rights and that they aren’t just a bunch of
hate-filled white males who fetishize guns and have a disdain for women
and blacks, it is hard to make that case when you have someone publicly
ranting against Moms Demand Action like Kinnison.
Checking out Kinnison’s Twitter account (he has over 27,000 followers), you’ll notice a very disturbing trend.
Apparently, besides being a violent misogynist, Kinnison is also a white
supremacist. Raging Rob has retweeted a number of disgustingly racist
and homophobic tweets from neo-nazis and white nationalists.
Kinnison has also started a new pro-gun Facebook
group with an extremely offensive title that I won’t even reprint here. The thing is, men like Kinnison make up a
large contingent of the open carry ‘movement.’ Basically, more and more
of the NRA’s enrollment and those involved in Second Amendment advocacy
groups are white nationalists and militia and patriot group members.
While they tout the need for more ‘good guys with guns,’ it seems like
their memberships are filled with a number of dangerous and unbalanced
individuals who want to have unfettered access to firearms.
Which, of course, may explain why the NRA and ‘gun
rights’ cabals oppose universal background checks despite the
overwhelming number of voters, including NRA members, supporting the measure.
They need to protect a sizable customer base for gun manufacturers.
Also, there is likely a feeling of sympathy for the disturbed white
ammosexual who feels that his stockpile of guns and ammo is all that
protects him from the oncoming race war being perpetrated by President
Obama.
As far as Kroger goes, it seems like the writing
might be on the wall for those who feel the need to walk around the
store with an assault rifle while shopping for Oreos. A poll commissioned by Moms Demand Action in
late October shows that 64% of Kroger shoppers feel that other
customers should not be allowed to openly carry their guns in the store.
Furthermore, 83% of customers feel that Kroger has the right to enact a
ban on open carry in their stores. The advocacy group provided a petition and the results of the poll to Kroger investors during a protest in late October.
