Now, I happen to be a gun guy so my opinion is obviously slanted somewhat, but I really don't see anything wrong this.
Arizona has an open carry law which allows its residents to carry firearms in the open.
As far as I'm concerned, this person is simply exercising his rights as a citizen of Arizona.

He might be. I write with my right hand, but shoot with my left (unless I'm shooting Black Powder).

Don't think your 401k is going to get you one month through a catastrophic disease or an accident that wasn't your fault. What if your kid is the one who's in the accident and needs the treatment. What if the grim reaper threatens you or your family before you've had time to accumulate the wealth you think your 401k is going to earn? The elderly already have socialized medicine, the young and middle aged don't. The hospitals, the tests, the teams of specialists and surgeons will swallow whatever you've managed to accumulate in no time flat. Don't think your insurance company isn't going to limit your options, delay payments, and drop your ass as soon as they get a chance. That's the only way to make a profit. Ultimately they exist to serve the shareholders, not you.
What's any of this got to do with the second amendment? Nothing. These people aren't toting just to exercise their second amendment right. They're intimidating the opposition. They know they don't have logic on their side, but they do have lies, scare tactics and intimidation.

Bringing visible firearms to a town hall meeting hosted by the POTUS is a thug move, plain and simple. Originally Posted by cockgobbler

Obama wasn't hosting a discussion about 2nd Amendment rights, so what message are they trying to send???
Man, if that shit went down when Bush was in office, no doubt in my mind those gentlemen would have been arrested for being inside the perimeter where the President was speaking.
What the hell is going on with Right wingers??
Are they seriously trying to chump Obama??

Is this the only time a situation like this has happened? Now i'm all for gun rights (within reason.) but this was out of hand and it seems like a scare tactic to me. I mean had this been something in regards to banning guns then I would understand a statement like this. And btw IDK it was legal to carry a swat/military powered rifle out in the open.

No doubt part of a conspiracy engineered by Obushama and the rest of the reptilian humanoids. Originally Posted by El Nino

The republicans weren't too hep on the first amendment rights when Bush was in office. You couldn't get near him with a T-shirt. If your T-shirt or sign said anything out of synch with conservative "philosophy" you got sent to the "free speech zone" half a mile away from the TV cameras. Now when you ask a republican congressman or senator about these gun toting nuts at town-meetings, all they can say is, "they're just exercising their second amendment right." Well let them exercise in a special fucking 2nd amendment gun zone.

They weren't inside the building that Obama was speaking in. He wasn't speaking outdoors where it would be a real threat. They would not have been allowed to take their guns inside of the building he was speaking in, because any building that the President is in automacially becomes a federal building, and it's illegal to carry on federal grounds.
