Perhaps this was his very intent.

Like the union folks going into the town hall meetings itching for a fight.

If the conservatives were not a 'threat' they wouldent bother so I figure were doing something right.

Once again you totally misconstrued my point.

My point is that maybe that guy took a gun, and assault weapon at that only to create a contriversy like this one. In other words he had ulterior motives.

Im not advocating in fact Im warning against violent screaming pushing matches instead of frank discussion.

The lib's want us to look like a bunch of raving lunitics and how better to 'prove' that than have some guy with a gun show up. Hell Im supprised he dident have a Bible in the other hand just to complete the steriotype.

He'd have to be wearing the "eagle crying superimposed over the burning World Trade Center" shirt to complete the look for me.

I wonder if the guy brought an assault weapon or just a semi-automatic weapon that resembles an assault weapon?

Sorry, just my old creaking soapbox about the political misuse of the term "assault weapon"

He brought an AR-15. Semi-auto all the way. But again the media labeled it an assault weapon. I feel the same way Platapus.
