Not really. Lizzie Poppet Jul 2012 #103

I'd suggest you read Stevens' dissent in Heller. It's very different from the right wing twisting Hoyt Jul 2012 #104

Read it when it was issued. Lizzie Poppet Jul 2012 #105

So thats what your calling us now? permatex Jul 2012 #106

Interesting writing sarisataka Jul 2012 #107

That's the cool thing about rights. NewMoonTherian Jun 2012 #27

You DO understand the the BoR confers NO rights on citizens (except for the 6th), right? cherokeeprogressive Jun 2012 #48

So you know for a fact that these people SGMRTDARMY Jun 2012 #7

No, since you are making judgements on zero or incomplete data... PavePusher Jun 2012 #10

Better than a racist Minuteman or other militia member intimidating people with their guns. Hoyt Jun 2012 #11

You are the same as them. PavePusher Jun 2012 #23

Agreed, racists such as Malik 'kill cracker babies' Shabazz Tejas Jun 2012 #72

MLK was a RW militia type according to your lunacy. Tejas Jun 2012 #9

MLK had a reason to carry -- right wing racists who rely on guns and bombs to intimidate. Hoyt Jun 2012 #12

So would it have been OK for him to tote a death spewer into Chuck E. Cheese? n/t Glaug-Eldare Jun 2012 #13

Lots of Breitbart fans around these parts Son of Gob Jun 2012 #67

How dare Holder not want kids to think it's cool and hip to carry a gun! Son of Gob Jun 2012 #68

So whats RW about it? SGMRTDARMY Jun 2012 #69

Nothing; It's "hurtful" nt ileus Jun 2012 #77

Nothing wrong with it if its your child SGMRTDARMY Jun 2012 #79

Why is it any government's job to change public opinion about protected activities? Glaug-Eldare Jun 2012 #80

Was the C-Span clip edited or faked? gejohnston Jun 2012 #71

If that is what Holder said, I agree 100%. However, don't agree with hiding posts. Hoyt Jun 2012 #76

so you are saying it was taken out of context? gejohnston Jun 2012 #84

It's pretty clear to me what he is talking about -- could have come from Bill Cosby. Hoyt Jun 2012 #85

I really don't understand why you'd be supportive of this kind of carry. Glaug-Eldare Jun 2012 #40

Respectfully, you are making the mistake of a false equivalance. PavePusher Jun 2012 #43

I'll defer to your greater knowledge of rifle carry, Glaug-Eldare Jun 2012 #46

Here's the issue: PavePusher Jun 2012 #62

Only folks saying it's not intimidation are those who can't envision life w/o gun in their pants. Hoyt Jun 2012 #31

It is intimidation, pure and simple. First cousin to bullying. kestrel91316 Jun 2012 #33
