BREAKING NEWS: AR15s at Obama Events!!!

[melensdad]

I think if they tried to pass a law now there would be a huge backlash.

Tagged for further reading...I'm not sure how to take this yet.

So nice to see Americans exercising their second and first amendment rights, as it was written, peacefully.

I am surprised that none of these firearms went off by themselves since our news media constantly complains about firearms having a mind of their own and going off without human help.

Yo, Mr. obama-messiah, figured it out know that REAL Americans ARE about guns and religion!

I seem to recall some of the very people saying how cool this is being some of the same people who said how stupid I would be for walking down US40 doing the same thing or how stupid it would be to bring guns, loaded or unloaded, to protest/rally events....



Good for these guys. Glad they got to do what I was discouraged from doing!

I swear the parallels between the gun community of today and the gay community of the 70's is just striking. Every gun owner is coming out of the closet, saying "I'm here and I've got a bandolier!" or "You're disarmed and I'm alarmed!" or "Here I am with a spam can!"

You get the point. And it will go about as well with the press as it did back in the 70's. Just probably with a more hand wringing.

Funny. Very Funny.

You could not ask for better representative, even if he could have a nicer sling.

'It's just kind of jarring seeing a AR15 at a ....' pansies...pansies...pansies... I'd like to smack that main anchor guy around ...

"it didn't go off"......

Glad to see this is a growing trend. Hopefully one rotten apple doesn't spoil the bunch and do something stupid with their gun, like fire shots into the ground or air or worse yet, at someone.

I'm glad the media is seeing that people can peacefully carry guns at a rally, and that the "guns are shooting lots of innocent people" all on their own.

My only concern, is could this backfire? Could this add ammunition to stricter gun laws? I can just see it now..."See how easily these people can just roam in public with -ghasp- fully loaded weapons? Think about the children!!!"

On the other hand, could this sway some fence sitters to see that guns are not inherintly evil, and just don't go killing people any time they are in public.

"it didn't go off"......

Maybe he fired it 2 or 3 times before he left home. Just to prevent... accidental embarrassment.

I agree, right now this is showing the world that gun owners are responsible and not a bunch of thugs!

However, one bad seed could = doomsday to gunowners throughout this nation!

It's all a matter of context, appearance and demeanor.

This is an awesome trend! It will be interesting to see how the media demonizes a black guy.

IF this is not a liberal organized "stunt" to try to further defame the average gun owner, then I think this IS a good thing.

This man was within his rights, well dressed, and articulate. OOPS! Did I say that?

Seriously though. When I first heard this story break, my first thought was that this was a staged event to garner OPPOSITION to our RKBA.

I could EASILY see this guy as a plant by this administration, in an attempt to denigrate gun owners, and further his assault on the second amendment!

This is exactly the "What ifs" that I was talking about in the Brady Bunch thread. This is why the Nation Wide Gun Rally's never happened. People worried so much about that "One Guy". Remember the Tea Parties? No one came with a gun and shot it.

I carried along with a lot of other people at the Tea Parties. Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING happened.

And why must we always suspect a gun owner carrying at an event that gets so much Liberal Attention as a Plant? If it WERE a plant, they'd be doing something stupid to REALLY embarass gun owners. Sheesh. And you people call ME paranoid!

You know...I'm curious who all was opposed to the open carry on this forum when these discussions were held over a year ago when we were talking about marching in a rally.

I'm sure we could find them in this thread
