[quote=domergurl;10257441]And??? What does a townhall on healthcare have to do with carrying a gun??? Seriously ... he made a fool of himself and his entire ilk. As much as I hate typing this, one this the Cheney regime had down pat was STAY ON MESSAGE ... it's not so much like that anymore. You have people toting bibles to these meetings, the birthers ... what a bunch of maroooons.

I don't think the guy thought it had anything to do with healthcare either,but according to him he didn't bring it because of the meeting,he brought it because he always carries it.

But does it matter if a person brings a bible,a copy of the communist manifesto,,a Rosa Parks sign,or a copy of a comic book?People are free (should be) to bring what they want as far as what represents what they think as long as they don't intrude on someone elses right.

Threaten? How?
By driving past them -- within a few feet --- with with a large, fast moving , self-propeled metal object ? YKWIM , a car or truck.

Or are were talking about chefs with large knives? Carpenters with large portable saws?


I think that open carry in town is usually kinda dumb -- like wearing mis-matched socks , but the hysterical fear is little much.

The relatively puny power tool stayed in the holster. Where's the threat?

The threat is made obvious. People without guns cannot shoot me, people with guns can. There is no other reasonable purpose for it--other than being fired.

Those days are gone, hell these days some of the kids today are lucky if they even know who their daddy is, let alone their grandparents!

I have guns.
I don't see any reason to shoot you or any other harmless human being.
And , I don't see firearms as a viable way to settle political differences in a constitutional republic. Ballots work better than bullets.
I drive a car -- I try not to run over innocent people .
So far I have never harmed an innocent harmless person with either a motor vehicle or a firearm. Or a chainsaw or a gallon of gasoline , or with electric current.

I suspect that a great many people , including all walks of life , have had similar experiences.

New Hampshire being the way it is , I am sure that there were dozens , if not hundreds of privately owned guns within a few blocks of that health care meeting. Only one privately owned gun was in plain sight .

So far--but you never know...

Besides, I only have your word as an indication of your actual character...and unfortunately these days, that's not nearly enough.

What a grating blowhard. He's trying to outdo Olbermann.

No wonder their ratings are in the crapper.
