Paul Joseph Watson<\/strong> Former Iraq veteran Adam Kokesh staged an open carry protest in Washington DC today by loading a 12 gauge shotgun near the White House \u2014 committing at least four felonies in the process.<\/p>\n \u201cI committed at least four felonies this morning and got it on video,\u201d Kokesh texted.<\/p>\n In June 2008, the Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Heller v. District of Columbia, ruling that the Second Amendment protects an individual\u2019s right to keep and bear arms and that the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975 is unconstitutional. However, authorities in DC have largely ignored the ruling and still impose draconian measures on anyone who wants to own a firearm.<\/p>\n Kokesh\u2019s protest stems out of his\u00a0call for a \u201cnew American revolution\u201d<\/a>\u00a0that would have involved a march on all 50 state capitols. The former Iraq vet had previously planned to lead an armed march on Washington DC on Independence Day.<\/p>\n Kokesh later revised the plan after he was arrested in May for little more than exercising his First Amendment. \u201cWhen it comes to this event being executed properly,\u201d\u00a0Kokesh told the Alex Jones Show<\/a>, \u201cwhen the government has already escalated the violent tactics against me personally as an organizer, I can\u2019t in good conscience go forward with a plan that is so centrally dependent and not open source.\u201d<\/p>\n Kokesh is to be saluted for his courage in taking such a bold stance to defend Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n *********************<\/p>\n Paul Joseph Watson is the editor and writer for\u00a0Infowars.com<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Prison Planet.com<\/a>.
