Maybe I wasn't being clear enough in what I was saying. My fault.

What you are seeing is more likely than not a purposeful paying of attention to some protesters and not others in an effort to essentially slander/libel everyone who doesn't agree with whatever it is the President is pushing. That's all this is.

These crazy people have always been around. These sorts showing up at political events isn't exactly new. What is new is that they are getting some serious news coverage.

In other words, this is a non-event. Then again, I have a different perspective on guns than most of y'all who live in urban centers on the coasts. Around here, just about every other person carries a concealed weapon and it's perfectly legal. It is absolutely not uncommon to be out in public while in possession of a firearm. And the folks who carry firearms are just about never (if ever) implicated in doing anything wrong. I do have friends whose lives and property have been saved just because of the fact that they had their guns at the right times and places. I understand that most of y'all on the East Coast aren't even allowed to possess firearms in public. Maybe there's a cultural disconnect?
