Did you in your original post not infer that the people carrying guns were "nutty" even though they were acting within the law? You stated "If you don't think the Republican Party, and the uninformed screaming protesters are a pack of total loons, wait until you read this...Today, there was about a dozen protesters that showed up armed with guns. One of them actually brought his assault rifle, an AR-15 semi-automatic weapon. According to the Phoenix police, the gun packing angry wingnuts didn't need permits, and the police said no crimes were committed and no one was arrested."
You called protesters "loons" and "wingnuts" because you disagreed with their actions, even though they were entirely in line with the law. Following the law does not make someone a "loon."
The problem with your statement is that he did not bring an assault rifle to a gathering with the President. That would be illegal. The man was outside, and nowhere near the President.
I do not agree with the idea of "packing heat everywhere I go." I simply stated that the man followed all the state laws, and did nothing wrong.
You have clearly missed the entire point of my comments. I merely advocated that the law ought to be followed, and the law prevents people from carrying weapons to the Capitol. The law however did not prevent this man from taking his weapon to the rally. I stand for the law to be enforced, what is the problem with that?
