GUN NUTS. A guy brings his guns to an Obama speech. The Ole Perfesser asks, why you stressin'? Then, after considering whether "these aren’t agents provocateurs but rather militant gun-rights activists trying to counter 'denormalization,'” he asks:
Plus, if people had showed up with guns at Bush events, do you think the press would have spun it as evidence of Bush’s unpopularity?
Oh brother, the old "If it were Bush."
Los Angeles Times, May 18, 2001:
Armed Man Detained in Park During Bush Jog
The Secret Service detained a man with a gun in a Des Moines park where President Bush was jogging, local police and White House officials said.
Secret Service spokesman Jim Mackin said the man was about 60 yards from Bush when he was spotted by officers. He said the man had a permit for the gun, but he was detained because he was so close to the president. Mackin said the man appeared to be in the park for reasons completely unrelated to Bush's visit.
Key words: '60 yards' and 'detained'. Why did George Bush want to infringe on this law-abiding citizen's 2nd Amendment rights?
and winner of best response from the comments section:
harmfulguy: Which George Bush are we talking about? The one who was vice president to the last president who was actually shot by a lone nut, or the one who was so fragile that he had to be protected from T-shirts that said mean things about him?
My opinion, they will keep pushing the envelope with weapons at Presidential or Congressional events until one is arrested, so they can then screech about how the Democrats want to take their guns away.
