Judging from one comment, it appears that one person thinks the crowd in Waco at the Twin Peaks restaurant were just pursuing a " legal fun hobby"..http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/waco-biker-shootout-police-release-mugshots-of-170-gang-members-charged-over-deadly-battle-10260319.html
In Chapter 46 §46.05 of the Texas Penal Code the government writes that it is an offense to knowingly and intentionally possess manufacture, transport or repair knuckles. This is typically regarded as a felony offense of the third degree. In some cases, the charge can be reduced to a Class A misdemeanor.2nd Amendment only applies to firearms.
Known a lot of bikers over the years, not all bad, not all good.. These guys have a shootout killiing 9 and wounding 18, and the cops do make arrests, but line ‘em up like they’re boy scouts. It goes to another problem in America that’s been going on for a long time, the wearing of “colors”, us vs. everybody. It ain’t just bikers or street gangs that adhere to those “colors”, be they right, or wrong.
We need to evaluate where “patriotism” actually lies. Nationallsm btw isn’t always true patriotism, and in fact, is often the opposite.

Now there is a good idea. Send all the gangs over along with the gun nuts. It might solve both problems.

Many, if not most, of the members of the motorcycle gangs are ex-military. This idea might make sense?*(and those gangs are national)

Has the NRA yet announced which ones were the ‘good guys with a gun’?
BTW, aren’t those brass knuckles, knives, clubs, etc. protected under the 2nd amendment?

btw: these guys wouldn’t run ISIL off, they’re our home grown ISIL.

Seems like a lot of the bikers hid their weapons and ran. actually demonstrating some common sense, ISIS would eat em alive.
