What do ya think of this one? A sign of things to come from an awakening public? Also note the classification of the weapon in the article.

Hate, obama; love guns....but this seems to be a serious lapse of personal judgement. It gives the admin ammo to say: "look, they are all gun toting kooks."

I don't see why he'd feel the need to bring a gun to a political discussion. It sends a bad message and creates a dangerous air around the proceedings that can only encourage the nutbars.

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.

I wonder how many cross hairs were centered on that guys cranium at one time. I'm betting an average of three and a max of five.

It is not these small balled people that concern me. They just want to be in the news and are in no way a danger to the president.
What I am concerned about is some nutjob that uses the attention given to the gun trotter to try to do something harmful. The attention given to the trotter took away attention from other potential hazards. And you gun lovers ought to be chastising this guy. If something were to happen do you realize that the video of these people packing will be used in a massive political attack against the second amendment in state and federal governments? |

Yeah like Doolittles raid provoked the Japanese to attack at Midway.
