"When Thompson visited Miami earlier in the day Friday, though, it turned out not to be the best day for his Second Amendment pitch. On Thursday, a Miami-Dade police officer was shot to death while making a traffic stop, and three other officers were wounded, by a man wearing body armor and firing an assault rifle."

Well, the media would love to spin it as a "bad day" for Thompson to announce his support for the 2nd amendment, but I think it's a GOOD day. It underlines the importance of every citizens constitutional right to bear arms and protect themselves from the nut-bar Islamo-wacko cult the multi-cult(ure) liberals have opened the doors of this nation to.

It shows us all that we are only as safe as we make ourselves, and if that means strapping on a shoulder holster, buckling a rig around our waists, or a woman slipping a snubby in her purse, it's our RIGHT. It is NOT a right for every crook and terrorist in this country to feel safe knowing that the general public isn't capable of defending themselves, a dream only backwards thinking liberals think is a perfect world.

Isn't an assault rifle an illegal firearm?

I'm sure this guy is on Americas most wanted list! Criminals carrying illegal firearms have nothing to do with the 2nd. Or unregistered.

Thompson didn't waiver from his stand when asked about the shooting. "I do not think that abridging Second Amendment rights is the answer to street crime in America," he told reporters in Miami. "To disarm law-abiding citizens" won't help, he said.

I agree with you, Nathan. When I see a story like this shooting in Miami, I do a mental inventory of my guns and ammunition, and wonder if it is enough, not whether it is too much.

Disarming the law abiding citizen is not going to help matters when the criminals pull out weapons and start blasting away.

Abso-ferkin'-lutely!

A good day to speak out about the importance of the 2nd Amendment is the SAME day when "journalists", hoplophobes and freedom-haters are doing their best to discredit it.

We don't need any more politicians who are fair-weather friends of the 2nd. Standing up for the Constitution WHEN IT IS UNDER ATTACK is what separates good men and women from weasels and weasel-ettes.
