Anyway, the only threat was a veiled "We're out here, Mr. & Mrs.
Politician, and we're getting awfully antsy with your actions of late.
Please stay in line and heed our wishes, Mr. Public Servant, or we'll
have to steer you with a firmer hand."

That probably is the way most people would interpret
it. Apparently in Ed's world, such a message falls
outside the 1st Amendment.

Actually, making a threat to shoot people, which is exactly what Larry
and
you are proposing, is against the law everywhere. That isn't First
Amendment
problems you're facing, it's jail time.

A rifle slung on your back, muzzle down, is not
threatening to shoot anybody... no matter how many
times you say it is. I might add, Period!

If it were, the guy would have been arrested.

I'm not talking about Broughton and his AR-15. I'm talking about Larry's
reference to the "cartridge box" and the "warning" to politicians to "heed
our wishes" -- and to your reference to how "most people" would interpret it
that way.

Are you one of "most people," or do you disagree with them?
