PHOENIX (AP) - About a dozen people carrying guns, including one with a military-style rifle, milled among protesters outside the convention center where President Barack Obama was giving a speech Monday—the latest incidents in which protesters have openly displayed firearms near the president. Gun-rights advocates say they're exercising their constitutional right to bear arms and protest, while those who argue for more gun control say it could be a disaster waiting to happen.

true.
I don’t have a problem with it.
It’s our right. If we don’t exercise it, we lose it.
Exactly!
I’m not interested in coweering in the corner because it might upset a LIBERAL. No. It’s time to be proud of your right.
“Phoenix police said the gun-toters at Monday’s event, including the man carrying an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle slung over his shoulder, didn’t need permits. No crimes were committed, and no one was arrested.
The man with the rifle declined to be identified but told The Arizona Republic that he was carrying the assault weapon because he could. ‘In Arizona, I still have some freedoms,’ he said.
Phoenix police Detective J. Oliver, who was monitoring the man at the downtown protest, said police also wanted to make sure no one decided to harm him.”
What a freakin’ NON-story!
Did I miss the part where he was a card-carring Republican? We all KNOW that’s the implication, here.
Maybe, just MAYBE, he was a plant by the DemonRats, but DANG! Nothing happened, LOL! No violence and no one was killed trying to deck this guy! ;)
Definitely agree.
This is close to screaming “fire” in a crowded theater and calling it “free speech”.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if a black conservative ought to showed up at one of these protests with a big-arse rifle? How in the world would the MSM handle that?
in all honesty, I would feel safer having one of these guys with me in a meeting, than not having him. I saw the picture of the black panther holding his billy club and trying to intimate. sorry obamanation state of affairs.
“Alinksy Rule 3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.”
Aboslutely.
Liberals are EASILY frightened and intimidated. What they try to do is do that to YOU as a distraction. They want YOU on the defensive. Time to turn the tables.
Make LIBERALS anxious, uncertain and incertain.
Not real concerned about it. If he had made any threatening moves he would have been taken out before anyone else knew what was going on.
It keeps the secret service on their toes for the day when they’ll have to protect a president again.
Wow...talk about keyboard diarrhea. Should read:

Only in a America. Perhaps next time the AP can report how ‘normal’ this should be. The Republic should have been doing this years ago.
Side note. I think it would be wise to reread what the definition of a Domestic Terrorist is according to the Patriot Act. Not good.
Every single one of you who have a problem with this are the biggest loser wusses the conservative movement has. Even money says you were McCain or Rudy supporters.
When the government fears the people we have liberty.
Given 0bama’s thugs, he might’ve taken it for protection, and I don’t blame him.
I don’t know why I’m amazed that this should be considered reckless, when we have 1000’s crossing our boarders every day, including Hezbolah and AlQueda according to Homeland security reports.
It is the gun you do not see you need to worry about.
I also support gun rights, however, this is just plain stupid. All it does is give the gun grabbing freaks more ammunition.
I can’t stand ossama bin obama, but what would you think if a bunch of folks showed up at a Pres. Bush speech sporting sidearms? I would hope the Secret Service would watch them closely.
If they're on private property, OUtside the security buffer and carrying legally, SO WHAT?
I guaran-damn-T you that there's quite a buffer between the Kenyan and the masses.
I'd even bet 20 bucks that he is never within a half mile of an eye-shot of the protesters. Lest he be forced to cast his eyes down his nose upon those he considers his lessers.
they asked for this, IMO. the SEIU and ACORNS are shoving us around
Two wars have been fought on this countries soil when the principles of the Declaration of Independence have been flagrantly violated. The liberals should know that real Americans still pledge their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to uphold those principles. The more they know, the less likely they are to make it three.
