I know that America has seen great change in recent years, but what is going on today. A dozen people carrying guns protested outside the convention center where President Obama was giving his speech about health care. Have people lost their minds or do I perceive this wrong. The incidents happen in Arizona where it is legal to carry firearms in plain sight but were it necessary. President Obama was not addressing gun controls or a gun law so why was it necessary to bear arms? Unless the protesters saw President Obama as a threat but we know that is not true. In my opinion, there is a time and place for everything and that was not the time or place. What if everyone starts bringing guns to the rally and everyone has an itchy trigger finger? It sounds like the Wild Wild West all over again.
This is the first time in American history where protesters showed up with guns and the President was discussing health care. A country of mad men cause it is obvious that someone is confused over the issue. Paul Heimke, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said people should not be allowed to bring gun to events where President Obama is. This is what Mr. Paul Heimke had to say, “To me, this is craziness, “he said.”When you bring a loaded gun, particularly a loaded rifle, to any political event, but particularly to one where the president is appearing, you're just making the situation dangerous for everyone"
Representatives of the National Rifle Association did not return calls for comment.
