Sorry, but you've already demonstrated that you only allow freedom to a certain point...that is, when our "masters" arrive our freedoms should be curtailed. So, you do not really believe in freedom. It's ok though. Plenty of liberal gun owners out there.

I must tell you, you have made my day. I live just across the Hudson from Manhattan and this is the first time in my life I have been called a liberal. I intend to show this to all my liberal friends (if you think I am a liberal you would think they are to the left of Stalin). I'm not sure if their reaction will be gales of laughter or if they will be really horrified knowing there is someone so much further to the right of me!

This guy with the gun at the rally is Archie Bunker. I remember seeing an episode of All in the Family were Archie was interviewed by a tv news reporter on his solution to stop the hijacking of airplanes. Archie's solution was to give a "roscoe" to everyone on the flight. This joker has the same theory. Hey I like it. Make mine an AK-47.

I am all for Freedom of Speech and Assembly.

I am happy Conservatives are standing up and protesting and saying what they feel.

HOWEVER, I feel it crosses the line when they bring guns to it. Now before you all say I am the anti gun liberal, I want to say that it is not worth someones life. You have the right to protest PEACEFULLY. You do NOT have to bring a gun there.

If I were protesting anywhere and saw anyone carrying a gun (aside from police), I would start to get very worried and scared.

South Jersey, near Cherry Hill. Not up in Sopranoville, although I was interviewed and offered a tenure track at NJIT.

He was well within his Constitutional rights,if you are frightened by people exercising their rights it is YOUR problem.
