Legally Armed Man Protesting at 0bama Townhall

Well what I've seen here is that IF you can get help from the evangelicals it is ONLY because you profess to believe as they do. The Catholics would help you if you professed to be a Satanist, perhaps even be more into helping such misguided souls. They help anyone in need regardless of creed.

Sorry, but anyone who can't be trusted to carry a weapon based on 'tempers might flare' really shouldn't be out in public at all. After all, he obviously can't be trusted with a baseball bat. Sporting events are far to emotionally charged. Can't drive ... someone might cut him off and make him loose his temper while in control of a 2000lbs guided missile. Obviously can't be trusted to pick a mate ... emotions while in love clearly impair judgement.

Prof, you are so full of shit with that post. You don't know what you're talking about. Cars don't weigh 2,000 pounds anymore. You'd be lucky to find a midsize sedan below 3,300 lbs - and nothing but the barest sports cars tip the scales below 2,750 lbs. I think even the newest Miata is like 2600. So unless he has some old pre-airbags subcompact, there's no way he's driving a 2000-pound guided missile.

Off topic though, the fact that whack job religious nuts founded this country is evident even today.

other than the fact that this country wasn't exactly founded by religious nutjobs, since the people that actually busted ass and declared independence were anything but that.

Just a reminder. It doesn't say you may have it only in your backyard. It doesn't suggest that if people are scared of it, take it home.

it says SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

gonz has a point.

he guy was in his rights, no matter what we think of it.

If he was arrested for it the cops would have been making the guys point for him.
 
The way I see it, the guy is within his rights, but the secret service are within their rights to keep him away from the president....

Naw that is ENTIRELY too logical, he ought to be able to practice quick drawing within short range of the pres!

or, more accurately, what he did was technically legal where he happens to live.

given the context, it was pretty dumb. but he got what he wanted. his 15 minutes. yay! and we all know what message he was really trying to send.

the cops and secret service did exactly what they should have done in simply keeping a close eye on him.

Wow! A reasonable response! I'm shocked. :eek:

Up until this point, everything said on this guy has been lunacy and ignorance.

In his rights = technically legal.

pretty dumb? I think he was hoping the secret service would take his weapon, and he would have proved the point he was trying to make.


THe cops and secret service did exactly what they were supposed to do.

Don't bank on it, Paul. NH people have that sort of border mentality, like Texans. He quite likely carries on a daily basis. Indeed, I know quite a few americans who do. One guy got so sick of being harassed about it, he changed his wardrobe to something with a 'uniform' look. Now noone even notices his piece.

sorry, but... no...

when we talk about rights we talk about things that are enumerated (or at least very clearly linked to enumerated rights). just ask gonz. there are lots of things that are "legal" that one does not have a specific right to.

technically, at this point in many states, sodomy is not against the specific letter of the law, but the right to plook or be plooked has not been formally established. now of course some klever lawyerin' type would try to argue that plooking is covered under "the pursuit of happiness" but it certainly ain't enumerated, and it certainly wasn't in mind when folks was constitutionating. except that franklin guy. we know he was a plooker.
 
There are also seperate state rights & federal rights. Nobody, anywhere, can curtail federal rights. Your state might make peeing up a rope a right but the neighboring state doesn't have to follow suit.
 
Hmmmm. He doesn’t look like the stereotypical anti-"0" gun totin' white supremacist.


PHOENIX, Arizona (CNN) -- A man toting an assault rifle was among a dozen protesters carrying weapons while demonstrating outside President Obama's speech to veterans on Monday, but no laws were broken. It was the second instance in recent days in which weapons have been seen near presidential events.

What will Chrissy think??
 
Just for correction's sake, that is not an assault rifle, unless it can go into automatic fire. Media people are a slovenly breed, aren't they...:rolleyes:
 
it doesn't need to be fully automatic to be classified as an assault rifle. looked like an SBR to me, though. nice eotech 552 on it, though he cheaped it on the upper receiver. proving he's not a REAL ninja. real ninjas don't put tacticool accessories on compromises. that's for mall ninjas.
 
"There is something so far-fetched and so extravagant in the idea of danger to liberty from the militia, that one is at a loss whether to treat it with gravity or with raillery; whether to consider it as a mere trial of skill, like the paradoxes of rhetoricians; as a disingenuous artifice to instill prejudices at any price; or as the serious offspring of political fanaticism.

Where in the name of common-sense, are our fears to end if we may not trust our sons, our brothers, our neighbors, our fellow-citizens? What shadow of danger can there be from men who are daily mingling with the rest of their countrymen and who participate with them in the same feelings, sentiments, habits and interests?"
