This story was on Yahoo news yesterday. He said we must exercise our rights or the government will take them away. That might sounds reasonable on face value, but only if you're so ignorant that you don't realize that all the rights he's exercising are brand new rights that were granted one year ago. If anything, gun rights are being widely and wildly expanded.

He has every right to express his rights outside the world's busiest airport.

World's busiest is irrelevant. Any airport or similar venue is inappropriate.

So, who grants those rights, exactly?

So you're of the mindset that the government grants those rights contained in the Bill of Rights?

They probably would've shoved the barrel into his mouth and pulled the trigger. Amirite?

The government is nothing more than a group of representatives of the people, so yes, I am 100% of that mindset.

Are you of the mindset that that you can grant yourself the right to walk into an airport with an AR15?
