Let me know when you need to exercise your right to free speech. Until then, I expect that we won't be hearing from you. After all, nobody should exercise their Constitutional rights unless they're doing it out of necessity, right?

(Thanks for reminding me of why I have you on my ignore list... )

Nearly 350 attend rally - Alamogordo Daily News

...New Mexico’s Constitution allows for open carry of firearms to most public places.

....The couple's dog, Rocky, an English Pointer, had a 9mm strapped to his side and a sign that read, "Bring it on, Obama."

Did he have a permit?

Perfect example of, "People kill people, not guns".

When the people fear the government, you have tyranny.
When the government fears the people, you have liberty.

Fear breads ignorance.

A quote from the writer of this article.

"The rally appeared to be more of a second amendment rights rally than an anti Obama rally. Several hundred people, many carrying rifles and handguns, attended the 2-hour event. There were no reported incidents of violence."



People are so scared of a piece of metal that everyone has the right to own from what the constitution says, but the media, Illuminati, aka socialists want to strip our rights have made this right to bear arms into something evil when it was actually put in place to stop a government from enslaving it's people. Guns were fine until our government implemented ways into our society to make it look like guns were something to be banned for good to protect us....Now if u are dumb and read that last sentence without seeing in between the lines then you really wont get what I'm saying..."Guns were fine" is my way of breaking it down and shortening the history of the lat 50 years of guns in our society which government has placed guns in ghetto areas on purpose so poverty stricken people and drug dealer "drugs also placed by government" would kill each other off like a domino effect...ect...now let's continue.....just like this "war on terror" facade is "protecting us" from having hundreds of people die everyday here in America....yeah right

lets count how many attacks have taken place here in the U.S. and then lets look at all the hype/fear and wars that are killing innocents in other countries.....the war on terror is a hoax and it's not justified...government is now trying to strip us of privacy and our rights / jobs....look in to who owns the companies that have been sent overseas and why they went there instead of helping us to have jobs....look at why Obama is pushing for health care so much as we have no jobs when he should be pushing for jobs instead...it's all a deception people

Nobody should fear anyone. Apart from that people can get rid of the government every 4 years, actually every 2 years via mid-term elections, where they can reduce the government's power considerably.

People who directly or indirectly threaten to kill politicians they don't like, should not be allowed to vote in the first place as they are obviously undemocratic.

350!!!! OMG, I once saw a line in California with over 5,000 people in it. None of them were sure what the line was for but they knew there was something free at the end.
Must have been a dull day in Alamagordo

Crack doesn't kill people. People who smoke crack kill themselves.

Just imagine what would've happened if there was a gathering of 350 armed blacks.


"Ghetto mob tries to start a riot!!"

Or

"Militant black nationalists organize!!"

For this to be a proper analogy, it would have to be common for people to have a physical addiction to loading their gun, pointing it at their own body and pulling the trigger.

You're going to have to do better than that, H.

Good Point, if 350 black people had shown up by bus in Alamagordo to exercise their Constitutional Right to be armed the National Guard would have been called out.

Perhaps 350 Mexicans or 350 Apache.

You're going to have to do better than that, H.
It's an inanimate object, as is a firearm. That little detail can't be downplayed.
