From the Huffington Post:
A North Carolina Tea Party is getting creative with a fundraiser slated for next month.Read the full article
On Sept. 29, the Asheville Tea Party is hosting a "Machine Gun Social" at an indoor arms range in Brevard, North Carolina.
According to the event's flyer, attendees can give $25 for a 30-round magazine on a 9mm submachine gun of their choice -- an HK MP5, an Israeli UZI or a Swedish I. Guests can spend $35 for 30 rounds on an AK47, while the most ambitious of Tea Party patriots can drop $50 for 30 rounds on an M16.

Are these weapons automatic or semi-automatic? I would pay to fire an MP5 full auto, but
semi-? BTDT.

That's like $1.16 per round for the AK. Shop around for better prices online (like the Aurora shooter did) and you can get it for like 35¢ per round instead.

No really - which Tea Party standard will they use for a target? My money is on the classic Obama-as-witch-doctor poster.

Who's the target?
There's a long list:
* Education
* Science
* Sustainability
* Logic
* Truth
* Compassion
* Free thought
* Fresh ideas
* Understanding of history
That's just for starters. I don't think I'll be attending.

Here are the certifiable nutjobs you need to worry about:
................................
Suspect charged in shooting at Family Research Council headquarters
"The Virginia man accused of shooting a security guard at the headquarters of a conservative lobbying group after saying, "I don’t like your policies" carried a backpack that contained extra bullets and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, authorities said Thursday."
http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-suspect-charged-dc-shooting-20120816,0,4735644.story
................................
"Imagine a volunteer for the Family Research Council marching into some gay group's headquarters with a gun, and after shouting his opposition to the homosexual agenda, opened fire and wounded a guard before being subdued. Never mind evening news. This would be breaking news! and for days there would be seemingly endless coverage of continued conservative hatred. These networks are aiding and abetting liberal violence by refusing to identify it as liberal violence. Whether it's vandalism at Chick-fil-A or rapes in Occupy Wall Street camps, these networks simply cannot find "news" in liberal violence of any kind."

The Southern Poverty Law Center identifies Family Research Council as a so-called "Hate Group."

When liberal elitists tell us that we shouldn't have guns--that's when we really need them.
