No, it was made possible by a law the Framers signed, back in 1791, ordering government not to take away or restrict ordinary people's right to own and carry guns.

I don't blame you for trying to pretend that our rights came from government. Acknowledging that we had them long before government existed, and that government's only contribution to our right to own and carry such weapons has been to take them away wherever it could, would blow your whole agenda and spoil the fallacy that today's government is "here to help us".

Your right God gave us the right to fight lions in a cage. Government never gave us that right.

The "tyranically government" run by Billy Clinton and his girlfriend Jant Reno caused the OK City bombing because they were tyranical. Now we have the lovely tranical Obama socialist government, so it all works out..
You quoted limp dick Bill as if you believe anything that lying fool has to say. Find a better source to quote, it makes you look foolish listening to Clinton..!
Long live the Tea Party, they will save all of your butts, even the ignorant left...!

It is also the first the date of the first attempted raid on the Weaver family in Idaho. Just to refresh everyone's memory that is where a child was murdered after being shot in the back and his mother shot in the face while holding her baby.

That I didn't know, and it happened only an hour north of me. Pretty significant day in history, shameful in many ways.

They should have the freedom to do that if they wish. But how about Tea Partiers having such rallies at the Waco massacre anniversary instead

This was mentioned before and I think one Tea Party protest fell on that day. OP, please post any links to Tea Party protests that fell on that anniversary.
