"Uh wow. Who would be silly enough to carry an unloaded fire arm?"

Aha!

No getting into some super serious discussion over this. Especially if its going to turn into a Obama bad/good or blah blah.

So lame when you guys do that. You just go in circles and nothing ever changes.

It would be rather dumb to carry an unloaded weapon. I'm still trying to figure out exactly which rights were taken away from him, since he wasn't arrested and was left alone.

Hell, you show up at an event the President is going to with a gun and that sign and you damn well should have a little talk with the Secret Service to make sure that you're not a madman.

**A_Forever** · 08-13-2009, 03:24 AM

Yeah. I agree about the sign part and all. That was kind of saying, "i wans 2 shooot da prezzy"

Edit: Typo in my title. firearm* too lazy to fix it.

It's alluding to a very strong line from Jefferson, which I've used myself from time to time. It's meant to stir some strong emotions. There's a fine line between using the line in rhetoric and actually advocating armed revolution. The sign with the gun in proximity to the event doesn't really leave much for interpretation.

I know who it came from o-o

And yeah.

In fact, I used this as my signature image here and other places for a while:

The thing that I think needs to be pointed out is that the remedy is to set them right on the facts. There are problems with the health care reform bill as proposed, there's no denying. But the opposition really hasn't been factually based.

Not saying who's right or wrong but knowing our laws, rules, government, police, etc etc, yeah, it was a stupid thing to do.

He was probably really disappointed he wasn't forcibly removed from the scene. He wanted to make a point about being denied his rights, yet...nothing happened. The system worked, heh.

Gawwwwwdd I wish these political hosts would just STOP YELLING and let people talk.
