All of the stories on the folks legally carrying guns to the rallies were designed to repulse the public on gun carry. Proof is given by MSNBC shielding the fact that the black man carrying the rifle was not identified as black- his race was deliberately hidden. The use of the assault weapon word was deliberately used to further enhance the story to link something negative with legal carry. This is all measured speak deliberately designed to present a negative view on legal carry. Even those here have commented that perhaps they should not have legally carried weapons to the rally so the media's tactics certainly worked on even some pro gun folks on this forum... imagine what the folks not familiar with guns and the gun culture felt. This is no reason to give up the rights given by the founders through the Second Amendment. The aim of the current government, regardless of what Obama has said-- is to rid the United States citizens of their guns. I do not agree that those who carried play into the hands of their opponents. It is positive for the public to see that you can legally carry and not have any one get shot. Only criminals use guns in the act of a crime and it is important for us to separate ourselves from criminals.
