Stop this creepy trend

Nebraska is gun country, the sort of place where one of the newsroom hunters sometimes brings deer jerky from a white-tail buck he shot himself to share with colleagues.

We have no problems with responsible gun ownership.

But the sight of gun-carrying citizens and protesters gathering near locations where President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak creeps us out.

Stop it.

[RepRivFarm]

Why does the appearance of a piece of metal strike such fear and revulsion in some folks? I just don't get it....these are my fellow Nebraskans!

[netmilsmom]

>>Stop it.<<

To which I would reply, “Shove it”

[pissant]

I take it the editor is either a woman or a poofer.

[US Navy Vet]

F*CK YOU Lincoln, disrepectfully, Council Bluffs.

[kromike]

We'll stop when the jOker resigns. 'Nuff said.

I didn't hear you schmucks crying about all the overt assassination fantasies directed at Bush for EIGHT YEARS. But we have one or two incidents of legal, law-abiding citizens proudly exercising a 2nd Amendment Right which we ALL have and you girlie-boys squeal.

[crusty old prospector]

Must be a journalism major over at the college. No one else would use the term “creepy.”

[a fool in paradise]

At least one of those 2 incidents during the Obama administration was perpetrated by a Ron Paul supporter.

There, fixed it. LOL!

They need the reminder -

there is an ultimate (earthly) authority in this country,
and it’s not the federal government, it’s not the supreme court,

it’s the people.

Authorities have the right of the use of deadly force to impose their will. And that is what is being displayed.

[CrappieLuck]

Ahh, yes. The “2nd amendment is for hunting” crowd speaks.

They are the same ones that think the 2A doesn’t apply to semi-autos or pistols.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Please God don't ANYONE touch a freaking hair on the affirmative action presidents head.

I really don't want to live in a world with every street, school and park not named for MLK being renamed for the zero.

After watching Oliver North's recent “War Stories” regarding the state of conditions in the border states, I owe those who took umbrage at my post on the thread which was similar to that of this newspaper an apology.

My position is always that it is a right, but not necessarily a prudent thing to do. Having seen what life in the border states has deteriorated to, I say you have to do what you need to do to save life and limb. Phoenix is the kidnap capitol of the world. Shame, shame on those who have allowed our sovereignty to be so devalued.

creeps us out

Sorta' like how I feel about a collaborator with terrorists, an Islam sympathizer and a Communist as the President of the US. I am not a pussy because it just don't creep me out. A manly man would come and say that I just don't like it.

The Right to Keep and Bear Arms ain't about hunting white-tail. It's about watering the Tree of Liberty.

[Michael Barnes]

Stop it.

NO.

[reagan_fanatic]

What creeps me out is the sight of a left-wing socialist muslim sympathizer sitting in the Oval Office.

[Allegra]

Stop it.

Bite me.

[so_real]

Bah ... I feel safest when surrounded by law abiding citizens empowered to defend themselves, their kin, and their neighbors. The military and police forces are nice. But they are limited in number and response time. I like feeling safe. If someone doesn't feel safe around law abiding citizens who happen to be armed, it may just be because that person is not a law abiding citizen himself.

[greatplains]

More than likely just a journalism major.

“Woman or poofer”? Aw, come on. I bet there’s plenty of ladies here who aren’t afraid of a lil’ ol’ piece of metal.
