Tenn. Gun Rally Interrupted After Police Arrest Man Carrying AR-15

February 10, 2013 at 6:06pm

Any way you look at it, it’s bad news for our side when one of us (a non-criminal) gets jammed up for a gun crime that could’ve been avoided by the application of some better judgement. Anytime some moron shoots himself while cleaning his unloaded pistol, or you leave your gun in your unlocked car at Wal-Mart and someone steals it and uses it in the commission of a crime, it’s bad publicity for gun owners. It sure as hell doesn’t make us look good.

Saff, it’s not that simple. The 2nd says nothing about the gun rights of felons, child molesters, & the mentally ill not being infringed. There are exceptions to everything and there should be. Do you really want a guy that’s been convicted of armed robbery 5 times to be legally permitted to carry alongside you? You’ll never win an argument with the public if you paint the entire nation with a “cannot be infringed – period” brush. Some people need to be infringed; they’ve proven they cannot be trusted with weapons because they will victimize someone, maybe you, if given the chance. What I have a problem with, and I’m sure you do as well, is some politician blaming me for someone else’s crime just because I own guns, too. But if someone has demonstrated their inability to live peacefully in this society, and the Liberal judges aren’t going to keep them locked up, we should try and limit their ability to do more harm, do you not agree? This will be a political war before escalating into something much worse. You’re right, we’re not going to convert any Obama voters. I just don’t see how this guy making national news for bringing a loaded rifle to a public assembly is helping us win this debate. The event planners asked everyone not to do it for whatever reason. He should’ve respected that if he wanted to help. I’m not sure I’d be comfortable there with that guy either. How do I know this guy’s level of safety and competency? Is he trained to run that

Not everyone has picked a side on this issue yet. Wanna-be Rambos are not helping us win the undecided.

My opinion, and I could be wrong: This kind of poor judgement is not doing our cause any favors. What was the statement he was trying to make? That you can bring a loaded rifle into town square? You can’t apparently because it’s illegal. If everyone has a problem with that law, has anyone tried to have it repealed long before now? Was he in fear for his life at this rally? As a responsible gun owner, it is YOUR responsibility to know the law and when you do things like this, you are giving the other side ammunition in their fight to make us look irresponsible and unhinged. For all of you who criticize the troopers, did you expect them to ignore this guy and risk losing their jobs? What if he was a nutjob intent on a mass shooting? If you’re going to carry a weapon, you have an obligation to use your head and be mindful that you represent the rest of us.

Go take your medicine Tony. Another celebrity who wants to tell you how to live your life, while they enjoy their millions behind alarms, gated communities, and bodyguards. I have no problem with wealth, but we live in two different realities. Tony, or anyone else, has NO idea what I “need.”
