Remember back when armed and angry liberal mobs gathered outside George W. Bush's appearances and threatened violence against supporters of the president?? Remember that left-wing nutjob who stood outside a Bush town hall with a loaded .45 holstered to his leg and a sign referencing bloody revolution? Remember those "socialists" who showed up outside Crawford, TX, with AR-15s strapped to their backs and went nose-to-nose with nervous conservative activists who were only exercising their First amendment rights...?? Yeah, me neither.
It's worth considering that the more time local law enforcement authorities and the Secret Service have to spend following these gun-toting yahoos around -- mostly to make sure they don't fire off a few rounds in a crowd of people by accident -- the less time they have to do what they are really there for...which is protecting the President of the United States from assassination. I heard a really good point on this issue today: You don't worry about the idiot in the crowd with a gun strapped to his leg, you worry about the sniper in the trees, and the more time wasted on 2nd-Amendment idiots the less time dedicated to scanning the trees and the rooftops.
In the meantime, someone is going to get shot.
