"We will not be silent, we will not obey, we will not allow our government to destroy our humanity," Kokesh says as he loads the gun. "We are, the final, American, revolution.

"The Metropolitan Police Department and U.S. Park Police are aware that today Adam Kokesh posted a video that appears to have been taken in Freedom Plaza in Northwest, D.C. We are in the process of determining the authenticity of the video."
Washington has some of the strictest gun laws in the country.
