(14,971 posts)The Multnomah County Republican Party (MCRP) has formally decided to pair up with right-wing militia groups to run security at local events.
The formal resolution was passed on on Monday and its text was leaked to the Mercury Friday morning. MCRP Chairman James Buchal, despite being displeased with the leak, confirmed his group approved pairing up with the Oregon Three Percenters and Oath Keepers via a resolution earlier this week:
Proposed Resolution of Chairman Buchal: Resolve that the MCRP may utilize volunteers from the Oregon Three Percenters, Oath Keepers, and other security groups. To provide security where such volunteers are certified to provide private security service by the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. Kay Bridges moved and Janice Dysinger seconded. Resolution passed.

(15,593 posts)That I have a right to buy and own, and wear some places, a weapon. I'm willing to bet there are plenty of liberal, lefty, progressive types who already own a gun. I might join them. No so much to use the gun but to show those who are impressed by guns, that we can have a gun too...............

(10,844 posts)It's not a joke. It's flat-out reckless and irresponsible.
I went on a tirade yesterday over the NRA ad. I've cooled off but still find the whole tenor & substance vile. And it's the sort of thing that gives the high-sign to all these fringe militias, who will thump their chests, grab their weapons and intimidate people they don't like or they find unacceptable.
This is not normal. And we need to keep pointing that out.
