What is the point of carrying an assault rifle to an Obama speech?
PHOENIX – About a dozen people carrying guns, including one with a military-style rifle, milled among protesters outside the convention center where President Barack Obama was giving a speech Monday — the latest incident in which protesters have openly displayed firearms near the president.

As a gun owner ( 7 firearms in my home) and defender of the 2nd Amendment I say
ITS RIDICULOUS
That ANYONE would bring ANY firearm into ANY Federal STATE or CITY Government building
OR
around any elected official at ANY public meeting
STUPID STUPID STUPID
NOW they want them in the bars
For the love of God have they NO BRAINS WHATSOEVER ?
I can just imagine how the right wing would have felt if an American Citizen carrying a AK 47 attended a George W Bush speech
We would hear
BUT THIS IS A POST (9-11 WORLD
and the President has many threats on a daily basis
NEWSFLASH
The Secret service was just doing their job when they tackled the black man and wrestled him to the ground, he was found with a 45 caliber handgun.
After being Tazored 39 times he was taken into custody
Although critics claim he was a legal card carrying concealed weapon permit holder, The man was reported to be a political hothead by many and has even called into the Rush Limbaugh show with an extremely poor attitude.
If allowing gun toting Americans at Political events (where they often shout hateful things and work themselves into a tizzy)
isd part of the 2nd amendment
I will soon be jumping on the band wagon to repeal it.!!

intimidation and 15 minutes of fame

Perhaps it’s the secret world government trying to goad people into taking a shot.

For self defense. Acorn mobsters and union thugs have been pushing people around at these town hall meetings.
Liberals are afraid of guns, so it is wise to have the upper hand.

They are not much good. I can shoot the trigger off of an assault rifle from 300 yards with my sniper rifle.

INCIDENT??? …How exactly was it an ‘incident’ if no crime was committed?
January 4th, 2010 at 6:06 am
No crime, then don’t whine!
January 4th, 2010 at 6:06 am
It smells strongly of a set up event.

Simply Americans excersising there individual rights, just like you are free to do.
Maybe they are just letting Obama know that his "clinging to their guns and bible" thing has not been forgotten, and that he is losing a lot of support among moderates and indipendents…have a nice day while you ponder this.

Maybe this fad will catch on. It’s legal.

Is this another Saul Alinsky plan used by the Obama administration? Pelosi said the people at town hall meetings were carrying swastikas and she had no proof and lo and behold someone spray paints a sign with a swastika. One man carries a holstered pistol which he was licensed to do and suddenly the left is claiming that he was threatening the president and lo and behold more reports of people carrying guns.
ACORN plants. Nice try.

Don’t need a point. It is perfectly legal to do so in Arizona…that’s the only point needed.
Besides, who’s to say that the one with an assault rifle isn’t a disinformation manager…you know, someone FROM the administration planted to scare people to provoke a "we need more restrictions" reaction?

I am amazed at the idiocy of the neocons. "Liberals are afraid of guns"? Really? I have two, one is an assault rifle.
The Right is repeatedly demonstrating a desire to be martyred, so let it be.
January 4th, 2010 at 6:06 am
Since no violence broke out I think they did their job well! Can’t be unprepared these days with the chance a ACORN member or union thug might beat you up or push you around, good luck pushing someone around who is carrying a gun.

see us guys went to private school know to not be hot head and talk with respect the ones that went to public school know thing should be giving to them or hurt someone

Funny isn’t it the young black guy was with the PRO 0bama side of the isle. It was reported by the CNN reporter in Phoenix that there were 2 people carrying AR15s, one on each side of the street, One PRO 0bama and One Anti 0bama but that ISN"T coming out from the media on either side!!
Get real people, the media is PRO 0bama and they are showing it more and more everyday as they never report either side equally!

Interesting. I don’t think they need to carry firearms. I mean, I REALLY don’t think they need to carry firearms.
I’m suddenly feeling a little out of my element here. This is very weird.

We have a right to carry guns. As long as no law was broken there was no incident only a reporter that would be much more at home in Russia.

One needs to protect oneself against Obama’s SEIU and ACORN thugs.

Rednecks!

You are demonstrating your freedom (speech) right now.
Why can they not demonstrate their freedom to own firearms.
Would you rather give up your rights when they are forced to give up theirs.
January 4th, 2010 at 6:06 am
Intimidation? Saying that is just fueling the fires. Who were they intimating?
It is Every ones’ right to own a gun, rifle, pistol. There is nothing wrong with the bringing of a rifle, or pistol to the Speech. Notice he was not going to go in. Notice he was not harassed either. LEGAL and proudly carried.
Most of us have the right to legally own a firearm. It is the Second amendment and you can carry one within the laws of your state and City. But I am proud that these people were able to bring their firearms.
Freedom, and the second amendment. Join the NRA, they are your rights too!
