Touring the country to peddle his collectivist schemes, President Barack Obama made stops in New Hampshire and then in Phoenix during the month of August.
At several of these events, a handful of those who gathered outside the halls to protest wore firearms. No one got arrested, since no one brandished their firearms in a threatening manner. They just wore them, safely slung or holstered, which is still perfectly legal in both New Hampshire and Arizona.
The fact that many Americans need to be re-acclimatized to the normalcy of an armed citizenry was quickly revealed by the nearly hysterical rantings from the Left after the TV cameras picked up fleeting images of these legally owned and carried civilian firearms.
Cartoonist Ted Rall writes a syndicated column. Mr. Rall's Aug. 27 column says: "Two weeks ago, a right-wing man protested outside the president's health care meeting in New Hampshire wearing a gun strapped to his leg. ... A week later, a dozen men appeared outside Obama's appearance in Phoenix brandishing loaded guns ... (including) one, who carried an AR-15 military-style automatic rifle.

Good article. Everybody ought to read the whole thing.
Mr. Broughton, you are a patriot, sir.
The ones with pen in Washington.
The MSM broadcast and print media also forgot to mention that Mr. Broughton was a democrat and voted for Obama.
Wouldn’t have served their purposes, I guess.
Good article, actually a great article.
BUMP!
Great Read!
Only if he is a white Democrat, the individuals and party that established and supported the Klan morons.
It is both difficult and dangerous to enslave an armed people. Hussein is NOT likely to tell Americans that their property and rights are forfeit to Big Brother while some 100-150 million citizens own over 300 million weapons. Disarming America has for decades represented the “Holy Grail” of the left. Clearly this is the reason for the contrived panic and outrage displayed by the MSM.
The ones being paid.

Phoenix talk radio host Ernie Hancock, who was also armed that day, tells me that a group of marching, chanting guys carrying bullhorns and wearing SEIU T-shirts approached the corner where he and Chris were standing outside the Phoenix convention center on Aug. 17.All together now... A well armed society is a polite society."They were telling people to get out of their way," Ernie says. "They acted like that was their street corner, like they had it reserved so they could stand there where the TV cameras could see them. But as soon as they saw a bunch of guys already standing on that corner, wearing guns, they got really quiet. One of the cops came up to me later and said, 'You guys did the right thing.' "
Not only is concealed carry legal in Arizona, but if I, a Kalifornian with a Florida permit, had attended, I would have been carrying concealed, at the very least.
These thugs are making a real mistake by underestimating the resolve of some of us to protect ourselves.
