This is getting fucked up. Carrying a pistol as a part of some antiquated amanedment is one thing, but to show up at a politcal event with the President of the US with an AR-15? That is nothing but the worst kind of political thuggery.
What's next, a guy exercising his constitutional right to wear a vest of C4?
I'm sorry to say it, but the right in the US is losing it's mind and innocent people are probably going to die because of this derangement.
Mental midgets.
Good to see people exercising their rights.
What right? Their right to act like fascist thugs?
And another thing, can anyone imagine would have been if this had happaened at a GWB rally? FFS, people wearing the wrong t-shirt or who had the wrong bumper sticker were arrested for their trouble.
This is getting bad and someone's going to end up being murdered before it's all over.
These redneck psychos with their "get the darky" mentality are beneath all contempt. If America has a curse on it then it's manifesting itself as these disgusting idiots who only know how to express themselve through intimidation and open threats of violence.
I'm so glad I don't live in that country. Thank <Insert Deity(s) of Choice> i get to be Canadian.
It's clear that seeing a gun didn't cause mass hysteria, except within the loony left media.

I'm guessing MSNBC won't be interviewing this guy and trying to smear him as a racist. There were a number of folks who were packing at this event and it was all perfectly legal.
I'm afraid that country has a one-way ticket right into the shitter. The right-wing has figured out how to moblize the "useful idiots" at will and even though the Repubs have been voted out of the white house, the congress and the senate, they can still influence the nation's politics through mob tactics and scare tactics.
This is not an organic, "grass roots" or one-time reaction to the ficticious "death panels," or "public option" health care or any other particular policy proposal. This is the calculated reaction of a political party that's been voted out of power but still thinks its entitled to run the country unilaterally. This is part of a larger political strategy which I fear will become the "new normal," where the unelected opposition will turn even the most modest and timid proposals of their opponents into "death panel" scare campaigns and turn the whackos out in the street who carry AR-15's and implicty call for the excutions of public politicians (hanging effigies, "refresh the tree of liberty" slogans, etc).
I don't see that country ever coming back from this. Too bad America has the bomb because while the inmates may not be running the assylum, they now have a permanent seat on its board of directors.
