A dozen protesters carry rifles to Obama speech

I've actually watched about 3 interviews with him and he's very clear and reasonable.

I'm betting we won't see Chris Matthews painting this new guy as a racist like he did here.

This is all legal.
Why can't the left accept that this is legal, and why is their first reaction to ban it?

Lol, I love how everybody just assumes they were all rednecks racists. Turns out to be a black guy with a assault rifle. Glad the whole stereo-type is still in existance of white guys being the racists who hold guns who want to kill black people (the president in this case). That stereotype.

Anyways, I know Americans are proud of there right to have guns but to strap a Assault Rifle on and bring it to a presidential speech? That's complete overboard. From what I gather from previous debates on the whole American right to have firearms. The debate was from the Canadian perspective it's complete stupid and all you are doing is allowing all criminals to be packing weapons whenever they go on a crime spree. Not only that but there overboard of weapon producing and carrying rights have made private american citizens take that buisness in other countries spilling there gun overpopulation mess into more controled countries.

There defense of there right was that it was for protection. Protection against the same people who now have unlimited ammount of firepower due to that right. I can maybe understand having to own a handgun in your house for protection. I just can't understand having to carry it outside wheres theres cops and many pedestrians.

What I can't understand and what is completly idiotic and unecessary is civilians buying and carrying assault rifles. That's complete overboard in protecting yourself from a thief. Unless of course there still considering the option of Russia invading them?

Like the well armed blackguy said in an interview.. it's a dangerous world and I can't carry around a cop.

Unless every one of those people had a licence to carry, it was an illegal act plain and simple. The right to own firearms in the US is NOT the same as being able to carry assault rifles around in public.
IF that had been just a normal day and someone was walking around with an AR-15, the cops would have been all them like a fat kid on a smarty. BUT, since it was the Reps encouraging this behaviour, it now has legitimacy??

It would seem tho, that the Reps in the US have something in common with the Libs in Canada. NEITHER can seem to fathom the fact that THEY are no longer in power, but feel the need to act like they still are. The only difference is, The Reps are using anarchistic methods (and AR-15's apparently) as their weapon of choice in the matter.

The Young Turks are all twisted out of shape over the first guy.. I imagine the'll be hysterical over the >6 more who showed up.

You'll hear a lot of the "Bush derangement syndrome" in this but that's immaterial and understandable because it's the Dems that fear the NRA.

Like everything else, rights need exercise.

This is like a bad flashback from Postal the movie where everybody start to randomly shoot at everybody!!

Hey people, you all seem to forget something: it was a demonstration ! Sure it was a little bit "hardcore" to bring an assault rifle but in the end it was a political act. He demonstrated that he has the freedom to carry his weapons and want to keep his freedoms. Not all people don,t there want everything controlled by the government.

So you see, the right to CARRY is not a constitutional right. It's been passed by separate state legislatures.
But I do stand corrected.
