Of course it’s legal, just poor judgement.

Gee, and there were NO problems at the demonstation ?

And CNN’s point is ? 2nd Amendment rights and state Laws are not “legal” ?

forgive me for sounding this..
but the picture is real and not some library stock photo of “man carrying assault rifle”
what makes this interesting is that this man does not appear to be any kind of white supremacist or even just plain white..

Is the president so unpopular even amongst his own?

You can bet the Secret Service where hiding in the crowd. It is excellent to see people challenging authority and exercising their rights.

OMG!!!

How many people were shot? None? Well, how many shots were fired? None? Hmmm. OK, how many people reported having a gun pointed at them? Zero? At least let me know how many people were arrested? Nobody?

What the heck is going on here? People carry guns to a rally and nobody will shot, not shots were fired, nobody was threatened, and nobody was arrested. How can this be? I thought guns guranteed mayhem, instead it sounds like everything stayed calm and peaceful.

That’s why the government controlled media complex went out of its way to “hide” the guy’s race and only show the rifle. If it was a white guy, we would have gotten a full view of the person carrying (like what happened here in NH recently). To the media, they cannot show someone who has strayed off the plantation.

NO HE DID NOT!

If you call a cow’s tail a leg, how many legs does it have?

NO!!!!!!!
The cow still has ONLY 4 LEGS!

The weapon DOES NOT HAVE AUTO-SELECT, therefore, IT IS NOT AN ASSAULT RIFLE!!!!!
