Your Thoughts Re: Why did this man cause such Alarm for Demonstrating his 2nd Ammendment Rights?
A man toting an assault rifle was among a dozen protesters carrying weapons while demonstrating outside President Obama's speech to veterans on Monday, but no laws were broken. It was the second instance in recent days in which weapons have been seen near presidential events. Video from the protest in Phoenix, Arizona, shows the man standing with other protesters, with the rifle slung over his right shoulder.
Phoenix police said authorities monitored about a dozen people carrying weapons while peacefully demonstrating.
Watch the rifle being carried at rally..

{Apparently the man wasn't the only man carrying this type assault rifle, but he got all the attention. I wonder why? Was it the gun or was it the man who was carrying it the cause for alarm? Let's see if Lou Dobbs will continue to endorse American's 2nd Ammendment Rights to bear arms at these Obama Town Hall Meeting on his show?}

These people are acting stupid in the extreme, and I say this as a firm supporter of the second amendment. There is absolutely no reason for this behavior, and in fact it is the most counterproductive thing they could do for 2nd amendment rights. This right has been continually attacked and disregarded in modern times. How many states still uphold the 2nd amendment? Not many. And of those that do, fewer still allow concealed carry without a permit, yet this right is also guaranteed under the 2nd amendment. "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" is a pretty straightforward statement.
Now here's the kicker. They seem to forget that the 2nd amendment, like any amendment, can be repealed. Is this what they want?
