100% miss the point.

If you are carrying legally, case closed.

If omamma doesen't like guns around him then he can stay out of states that allow open carry (freedom).

The question in the poll itself belies the problem with this type of topic:

Should people be allowed to bring guns to an Obama event?

Now the average non-GIMer :) feels like it's a stupid idea to bring a gun to something like this so they're going to vote no. I wonder if any of them ever even think about the fact that the question is in effect asking whether people should receive punishment for doing that.

There is a difference between thinking people shouldn't do something and thinking it should be punishable for people to do something.

69% NO as I read it...

I'd be interested in hearing the "NO" voters' reasoning, although I doubt I would be surprised...

...or impressed.

What a silly question. To ask such a question reveals that the questioner has no concept of individual rights. He must think that the only rights he has are ones that the government permits him.

I loved how people claimed it was racism. I thought Alex Jones was joking when he said people fight all arguments now with the claim of racism. You parked in that space I had my eye on, you're a racist. Man, he was right. It's retarded.

oops... I'm a racist.

I also noticed how not one person considered that a person there who was carrying a firearm might be there to protect not only themselve but other people including the politicians or heaven forbid even the president. I know its a long bow but it goes both ways IMO.

Should they be "allowed"? Yes - the Second Amendment guarantees the right.

Is it prudent to bring open-carry guns to an event where the Secret Service are in charge? NO - it's just asking for trouble. And it gives the enemy plenty of propaganda "ammo" against us.

And that's what's so upsetting....I believe the average person has equated the two. They believe it isn't prudent so they believe it shouldn't be allowed :36_1_30:
