    And then there's good Texans like this guy.

    Gun Rights Activist Says Lawmakers "Punishable by Death"

    In the news again, gun-rights activist Kory Watkins recorded a threatening YouTube video, pressuring Texas lawmakers to pass lax gun laws, including open carry without licensing requirements.

    In the four-minute rambling video – removed from his Facebook page 30 minutes after posting yet preserved on YouTube – Watkins, leader of Open Carry Tarrant County, says the decision not to grant gun rights activists their legislative demands is tantamount to treason and “punishable by death.”

    “I’m tired of jacking around. I’m tired of playing politically correct games. I’m tired of saying, ‘well, this is chess, and we gotta take this slowly’,” said Watkins. “I don’t know if [Texas lawmakers] forgot what their duty is, but it’s to protect the Constitution. And let me remind you, going against the Constitution is treason, and, my friend, that is punishable by death.” He goes on to say gun rights advocates are, “not playing around,” anymore and are ready to “game up” their “peaceful non-cooperation” strategy. “We’re gonna step it up a notch,” said Watkins.

    The chilling monologue ends with a thinly veiled threat: “I want to put more than my foot in that door. We should be doing way more than that. We should be demanding these people give us our rights back, or it’s punishable by death. Treason. Do you understand how serious this is, Texas? We need to start sticking more than foots in doors. This is treason against the American people. You don’t sell my rights back to me, you’re gonna find trouble.”

    That's home grown terrorism talk right there. Those are the type of people the government fears most.

    I fully support open carry, and I fully believe that Kory Watkins is a idiot and bad for all gun rights and 2A supporters everywhere.

    His antics do far more for the gun control crowd than the pro gun crowd.

    Holy hell that guy is aggravating. He could be trying to convince the Representative to give us all free puppies and steak and I'd turn against it. **** his sense of 100% pure entitlement and confrontational swagger.

    Dude. You have no idea. This dude is whacko. He is even intimidating Republicans. Currently, there are two main open-carry bills in the Senate. SB 342 by Huffines is "constitutional carry," whereas SB 346 by Estes is "licensed open-carry."

    This nut job Kory Watkins is coming into R and D offices and intimidating staff by shoving a camera in our faces and badgering us with questions about whether or not our boss supports "liberty and the constitution."

    His first threat against Pancho Nevaraz wasn't as bad as the recent "treason is punishable by death" comments. Another guy administering the same intimidation techniques is some guy named "Doc Green," who has a radio show in Houston on RagingElephantRadio (never heard of it). Going office by office with a camera and questioning basically interns and office admins. This guy is telling people that open-carry is the number one priority for Texans....really? I don't even put it on the list of top 10.

    I am not sure if I support open-carry, I don't think it is at all necessary, we already have legal open-carry of long barrel guns, why do you need a pistol visible to everyone. When someone robs a bank, the first person they're going to take out is the person with a gun showing -- you're much better off with the gun concealed.

    Kory Watkins is from Open-Carry Tarrant County, a chapter of Open-Carry Texas....Open-Carry Texas came out against Kory Watkins and OCTC for their behavior. These idiots have NO clue how to lobby.

    He sounds like the biggest reason why gun control is reasonable. People like that aren't safe to run around armed.

    but they don't.
    They rather shoot and bully the unarmed.
    They would rather harass the weed smoker, the ticket non payer and the impoverished.

    That's because it's easier to do that to minority groups than it is the majority. But the government is paying attention. The militarization of the police force and the extinction of privacy is not specifically for poor minorities and foreign terrorist groups.
