It probably doesnt mean any more than he just got the rifle out of the trunk and slung it on that shoulder so he could have more room to use his camera or hold a bottle of water in the sun.

But is there no sense of simple respect due the nation’s elected leader when he ventures forth among the citizenry?

Don't you have to extend respect to get it? BO trashes conservative people and conservative principles 24/7 but we're supposed to quiver in awe because he organized ACORN well enough and was fortunate to have a RINO opposing him to have won the election? I thought dissent was patriotic. The old gray disease-infested whore never seemed to object to that line.

You’re probably right. It just seems to also point to this being a PR stunt, I would think that one would want to have both important items on the side you favor as a matter of course.

Really?

Even if if were, it's bad logic. Just because off-the-reservation politicians caved to the Sinkmaster to infringe on my rights, and some others had the good sense 10 years later to let it die (no credit to Bush here unless he was working against renewal behind the scenes), that means I'm supposed to bow DEEPER before them? It argues the other way!

Our rights are like our muscles, they need to be exercised from time to time.

Never mind the guy in AZ was an Obama/Health Care supporter.

Where did you see that? Got a link?

N-S: This might be part of the answer here.

Looking for rock-solid identification of the AR carrier as a libertarian rather than a MoveOn/ACORN guerrilla-theater troll.

That was written in the mid to late 1700’s when the nobility still excercised power in Britain and was written about Rome where the nobility was the main impediment to the Emperor’s powers. I think his reference to a martial nobility was a reference to that. That would equate today to a leadership among our elites willing to stand between the “prince” and absolute power.

You know that if it was Moveon.org or ACORN then they'd be flooding the demonstrations with armed people acting as irrational as possible. They aren't subtle.

While in general I disapprove of open carry in most instances (acts to much as a lighting rod, prefer concealed carry) this gentleman was doing nothing illegal or wrong and from all reports conducted himself in a polite mannner.

Yeah, I got all that. I'm saying, where they at? They don't exist.
