Wearing a slung assault rifle to a political rally is clearly

I wonder if as in a political tactic, it that was the brightest trick in
the book. The
man had it slung though and wasn't waving it around and from what I can
tell was being
peaceful.

Carrying a slung rifle in a crowd of people is not peaceful under any
circumstances. Its only functional purpose in that situation is to kill.
Since it's highly unlikely it will be used to kill, the only remaining
purpose is an affective one: to intimidate.

That wasn't about "rights." It was about threats.



The carrying empty holsters protest such as http://concealedcampus.org/
put on seemed a
bit more effective w/o alarming the hoplophobes.
