To those ass-holes carrying guns to Presidential town hall meetings - I take that as an indication

[JohnWxy]

you are ready and willing to use your weapons to shoot people. Isn't that the implication?? Since you are so inclined, I have the notion that you should be accomodated and accepted as volunteers to go shoot people in Afghanistan as a member or our armed forces (if they will have you...). We need more people over there. Here's your chance!

Oh,,,,,, uh, maybe the thought of facing other people who are themselves armed and quite happy to shoot back at you ..uh, that may cool your enthusiasm for brandishing weapons. Well, too bad, I think if you are so inclined, we should accomodate you and give you your chance to show what a "man" you are .. only up against armed opponents. Let's see what a "man" you are then :evilgrin: .

...... not getting cold feet are you???? Aw, come on, show us what a tough guy you are. Just a few little Pakistani Taliban. You ain't afraid of a few armed fellows are you? You got your big bad weapon, let's see what you can do........tough guy.

1. You sure any of them have NOT already been over there?

[JohnWxy]

2. IMO I don't think anyone who has used a weapon in an actual deadly situation takes carrying one

around lightly. IT's not something for exhibitionism.

4. I agree. The war veterans I have known don't go flashing weapons around.

They have the attitude that weapons aren't for show.

9. On that point, you and I are in agreement.

10. "in the cross-hairs" - he was.

6. Hmm, not talking about healthcare anymore, I see n/t

[jimmybama]

7. Never was about healthcare.

It's all about making Obama fail at everything he does. They
can't stand having a Democrat running things much less a black
one. Personally, I am glad they are openly displaying their
weapons. That way the Secret Service, and I (a licensed
conceal and carry permit holder) know which ones to shoot
first. I'm so done with these asshats.

[seabeckind]

8. You make it sound like it's personal

against Obama. It's not. They would do the same against anyone who gets in the way of the corptocracy -- black, white, blue -- dem, repub, ind, anarchist. Doesn't matter.

The gun carrier serves a purpose, a distraction, a thing which separates us and makes us weaker. You are fighting him and not them.

You think it is because Obama is black. It's not. That's just another wedge. The color is important only because it can be used as a wedge.

But you are right -- it's not about healthcare, it's about money.

11. The Viper

idiots whose open-carry display at President Obama's AZ appearance was coordinated by a right-wing radio hate jock, is indeed an "anti-Obama" white supremacist group. They were not demonstrating for any 2nd Amendment "rights," but for the right to intimidate and threaten.

Also, being a combat vet, I have nothing but contempt for these wannabe "militia soldiers," and their phony patriotism.
