news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090817/ap_on_re_us/us_obama_protesters_gunsI love this article. I hope to god people in power are frightened. I think its funny as can be that a person walking around exercising their rights can cause fear. Maybe its just because its no uncommon to hear a gun shot in the night or see guys with guns on the street in my town. Although the welcome sign says "Welcome to the village of". I'm sure some thought I was about to go on a rant about gangs on my streets. Nah, its just a small town where we can still shoot a skunk in the trash can, a rabbit in the garden and a deer under the apple tree. Damn City folks are strange :LOL:

Paul Helmke, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said people should not be allowed to bring guns to events where Obama is.
"To me, this is craziness," he said. "When you bring a loaded gun, particularly a loaded assault rifle, to any political event, but particularly to one where the president is appearing, you're just making the situation dangerous for everyone."
wow he must have good eyesight to know the gun was loaded without even touching it.......or did he just ASSUME !

My kids learned that all guns are considered loaded unless you check it yourself. Again, I doubt he's that educated about guns. Anyone who thinks they are bad and should be banned is not very well educated.

thats the problem people who live in the city don't understand. they only know the body count from the idiots and don't understand we don't have that problem here in the country. all the city people can do is cry for more laws that only effects law abiding people. but what good are these law when 90% plea bargain their way down to a lower sentence. can you say plaxico

tbass I agree about considering that all guns are loaded until proven otherwise but I think if I was taking an "assault rifle" to a political protest to make a point it certainly wouldn't be loaded......but I might have a full clip in my pocket!!!!

I half wander if these are union thugs doing this to give fuel to the media bashing the everyday citizen.

Not to be argumentative, but one should always assume a firearm is loaded. That's a basic safety principal and cardinal rule.
Another thing, why carry a firearm if it's not loaded?

Now that's funny. I love how the media portrays things. I experienced it once a while back as well. I have no faith in those idiots and think the news media is no better or any more honest than weekly world news.
