OK, Gunner. *Let it be clear from this point forward that I did not
and do not advocate suppressing anyone's rights. *I do advocate
responsible behavior and disdain posturing with firearms. Might this

I find that it appears to be a midwest concept that the gentleman was
acting irresponsibly and posturing.

Shall we ask the other readers if it was, or wasnt?

Yes, let's do that. That could be interesting.

Anyone have a comment one way or the other?

Was the black guy with the AR15 over his shoulder, peacefuly standing in
an Arizona Tea Party demonstration, along with 15 or 20 other armed
guys, acting like a wack job or not? *

He was acting irresponsibly and contrary to his own interests. He had
no good reason to be carrying an AR15 and should have known (unless he
_is_ a wack job) that doing so under the circumstances would alarm
most folks. Assert your rights in an irresponsible manner and you're
more likely to compromise than protect them.

In the interest of context, I live in Maine, which has a long
tradition of hunting and gun ownership. I haven't owned a gun myself
in many years, but used to be a pretty good target shooter. I'm
comfortable with my neighbors who own guns, but would wonder about the
judgement of one who showed up at a political rally toting an AR15.

The Left of course hid the fact he
was black, and started talking about armed white racism and so forth.

You just poisoned the poll with that remark.

Full disclosure was what I supplied. * I didnt start blabbering about
"armed white racist" when discussing the gentleman, did I?

Your Against vote is noted. *

2 for, 1 against so far.


I had an "against' vote yesterday.

I don't know what "main stream media you were looking at that didn't
show pictures of him, but all the networks, CNN and MSNBC had video
showing the guy very clearly.

*Whenever a Liberal utters the term "Common Sense approach"....grab your

And, just for the record, you also have the right to remain silent.
Have you ever tried exercising that one?
