PHOENIX, Arizona (CNN) -- 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.
Arizona law has nothing in the books regulating assault rifles, and only requires permits for carrying concealed weapons. So despite the man's proximity to the president, there were no charges or arrests to be made.
Hill said officers explained the law to some people who were upset about the presence of weapons at the protest.Lesson learned: Law abiding citizens carrying guns are not a threat.
Gun-toting protesters have demonstrated around the president before. Last week, a man protesting outside Obama's town hall meeting in New Hampshire had a gun strapped to his thigh. That state also doesn't require a license for open carry. (Source: CNN)
If you piddle-down-your-leg, thumb-sucking liberals don't like our Out West gun laws, you can slink back to the liberal urban cesspools you crawled out of. Big Daddy will take care of you there by taking your rights away and ensuring only criminals have firearms, you constitutionally-ignorant morons.
Here's a quote you lefties love throwing around:
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.It's almost as pithy as "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns," which is proven true every day in the enlightened "gun free zones" all over the world.
