When I saw the report, that's all I could say or think.
Unbelievable!
Why would anyone carry an assault rifle to a political event, to a town hall meeting or to a speech? Who would do such a thing at an event where the President of the United States was to speak?
And to speak about health care, the nation's health and wellness?
Nothing new here though. Last week guns started showing up in the hands of people at other meetings and rallies dealing with health care reform.
Last week, at a town hall meeting in Portsmouth, New Hampshire where President Obama spoke, a man carried a sign that read, "It is time to water the tree of liberty." The same man had a pistol strapped to his leg.
Have a look at the story here.
Or, the video version here, reporting the presence of more than one person carrying assault weapons.
Maybe we need a holiday. You know, everyone go home, take a week off, calm down and decide to come back to the conversation or even debate with a bit of reason and maturity.
Lots is going on here. What do you think?
