Is It Time To Arm?
   

Is it time for supporters of health care reform to attend the town hall events while openly carrying firearms?

IndyDem's diary :: :: Some on the right, a small minority I believe, are clearly hoping to intimidate supporters of health care reform by attending the town hall meetings while openly carrying firearms. Now, I am a strict constitutionalist. I think, despite all attempts to pretend otherwise, that the 2nd Amendment is clear. These people have the right to bear arms. So I do not believe the answer to such not-so-subtle intimidation is to find ways to keep them from acting in this way.

But just as the answer to hate speech is not censorship, but rather more good speech – perhaps the answer to gun-toting nutjobs is gun-toting sane people.

The left has a large number of members who are military veterans (I myself am one). These citizens have every right to attend an upcoming town hall wearing an Obama t-shirt and carrying a firearm (assuming they meet all applicable state laws – permits, etc.). We also have police and hunters in our midst. These citizens are more than capable to safely handle their private firearms in such a setting.

If the right is not trying to intimidate anyone, then they won’t mind. If they are merely reasonable citizens utilizing their 1st and 2nd Amendment-based Constitutional rights at the same time – then they won’t mind someone else doing the same.

But, if they hope to scare people into throwing away their 1st Amendment rights – then a small quiet show of preparedness should redress this imbalance.

Thoughts...?

YES! And wouldn't it be nice to have left-wing shooting ranges. Not fancy just a BBQ some benches and targets with the pictures of Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann on them.

Maybe George Soros will loan us the money to buy the land!

Libs with guns would be funny though they would be screaming for socialized medicine when they shoot themselves in the foot.  :-)

It's cute that the DUmmies feel they need to have their own special little "liberal" firing ranges, instead of just using the regular ones like normal people. They are sooo afraid of getting caught outside their little world and having to face the real one, and defend their beliefs. They have to huddle together like the primitive tribe they are and as Mr Frank has described.

Weird world for me, all the libs I know have gun collections up the ying-yang.

The Conservatives I know would not think about the responsibility involved in owing anything but a can opener.

Used to be the other way around, Conservatives reallied on Government to protect them and the libs were gun totting thugs.

Is this not a world where life is like the tide, it changes every 6 hours.?

I'd be afraid they'd have some alternate vision of what 'down range' actually meant.

Isn't the armed portion of the democrat voter base the reason we have concealed carry? Hell for that matter aren't the armed dems the majority reason for prisons?

You're right. If there were no armed dems, the only crime left would be on Wall Street.

Joannenumbers just about got gigged for a new laptop for me.  I should know better than to read from the DUmp when eating.  I just shot beef stew through my nose and onto my laptop's monitor when I read this:
