I am not a fan of carrying just to carry. It is asking for trouble and bad PR that we don't need.
But the Secret Service is not going to allow anyone with a rifle slung on their back into any place the president is speaking.

One thing that is different, the pic shows a black man carrying a rifle. I like it.
IMO it harms the goals of the protest to distract with this kind of thing. People at the protest should just ask the dude to leave, he isn't helping at all.
I do find it interesting that "weapons are not allowed on a Federal site". The argument we hear is that the 2nd Amendment applies only to the Federal Government... This does not compute.

I fail to see the problem of someone exercising a right. An absolute right.
common liberal/anti gun doublespeak.

I think it serves a purpose by reminding the government that we let them serve us and that can "change" in the blink of an eye, metaphorically. *shrug*

I agree that it is an absolute right. But what happened distracted from the protest message. The man was not arrested or harrassed. But the story became about someone carrying guns and not about fighting a bad piece of legislation. Whether we have the right to do so or not, we also have the intelligence to recognize the end result and consequences of our actions. If the goal was to show that we can exercise our 2nd amendment rights, then carry the rifle. If the goal was to protest Obama's healthcare programs, it was not a smart move.

things that make you go hmmmmm?
wonder what anti gun state he moved from?
although I'm not surprised by the apoplectic hysterics coming from the anti-gunners and leftist control freaks out there.

No need to work any longer.
Don't want to address the issue, just attack the messenger?

It's not about paranoia.
It's about a gun owner's need to show off their surrogate penis in an attempt to try and make up for the tiny penis God gave them.

OH NOES!!!! insulting the gun carriers manhood.
equating carrying a gun with penis size is retarded.

was referring to the mainstream media spin on the story as well as the hoplophobes commenting on them.
I don't have a beef with beefy.

Yeah, that is pretty much the only black guy I've ever seen at an Obama protest. Imagine how awkward it must've been to be around him.
He is just a 2nd amendment demonstrator. If anyone wanted to kill the president, they wouldn't be so obvious. But carrying a gun near the president is not, IMHO, a classy way to demonstrate for the 2nd amendment.

He should be comforted with the knowledge that he had an SS snipers weapon pointed at his head the whole time, though.
