Poll question: Guns at Obama rallies.

This poll was inspired by the recent events concerning Right Wingers bringing guns to the Obama rallies. Enjoy.

3. I can't help but think...

...that there should have been a few guns at a George W. Bush rally, along with a dozen arrest warrants competing with a summons from the Hague.

6. Good point.

If people were packing at Bush's "town halls" the Republican lunatic fringe, which is seeming like a big part of the Republican party, would've become more unhinged than they already are. Immoral hypocrites they are.

4. If someone wanted to hear from me, they'd have to leave the guns at home.

I think that's a reasonable line to draw.

5. If the Left were to appear armed to the teeth, like the Spartacus League

you will see the end of these gun rallies. They only do it because they are bullies. You know what to do to bullies!

7. If scores of screaming angry people had guns at these rallys and then people

from our side brought guns things could get really really ugly.

8. Things are ugly now

These people are fascist thugs and should be treated as such.

9. Something is amiss.

At a Bush event, T-shirts are considered dangerous and grounds for removal.

At an Obama event, guns are considered part of the dress code.

11. Open carry anytime anywhere should be outlawed.

The average person on the street shouldn't be subject to blatant intimidation any more than the President.

12. You forgot......

Blatant attempt to gain "evidence" that Obama wants to take away guns from lawful gun owners!

But, keep up the panic!

15. That would go under distraction.

"But, keep up the panic!"

What makes you think I am panicking?

18. How about a clear and present danger to the life of the President of the United States?

How about incitement to murder?

Counseling insurrection?

Hell even disorderly conduct or causing a public
disturbance?
