8. That sounds like an idea loaded for potential disaster.

I'm not frightened of the Wack-O-Right, but showing an armed reply to them at these town hell meetings could possibly lead to conflict.

Protecting the POTUS, other elected officials and the general public during these debates is of the highest concern so I really don't believe that these RW gun-crazies should be let within 15 miles of any of these proceedings.

You want to bring a gun to the event? Great! We have a first amendment zone for you set up in the middle of Nevada. Play with your guns there.


Remember that Dr. King wasn't packing when he was spreading his message, but he was killed while doing it. So was Malcolm X, Bobby Kennedy, JFK and others.


Just leave the guns at home, and for the RW crazies that won't let's just rely on law enforcement to take care of them.
