This will not be popular here but ... Just because you have the right to do something doesnt mean it is the right thing to do.

Some people are taking showing up at rallies with guns to be a form of intimidation. Maybe they are over-reacting or taking it in a way that is not intended, but responsible gun owners dont use their guns for intimidation.

Consider: If union folks showed up with clubs and tire irons at a protest event, and joked about beating up ‘scabs’, would you feel threatened? I think the liberals are seeing these shows of guns in the same way and liars like MSNBC are playing up those fears. We shouldnt give them excuses or video clips that let them do that and tarnish the legitimate and peaceful protests and rallies.

The union pukes carry clubs because they cannot legally carry guns due to all of their felony convictions.

Not if I had a firearm with me.

I agree with you about this. This is not a smart thing to do, even though it is a right.

Yip! Yip! Yip!

The sound of an ankle biter straw dog.

People carrying guns were not threatening anyone, so your analogy fails.
