Man with assault rifle attends Obama protest

[Alfordron]

PHOENIX - About a dozen people carrying guns, including one with a military-style rifle, milled among protesters outside the convention center where President Barack Obama was giving a speech Monday — the latest incident in which protesters have openly displayed firearms near the president.

Watch the video at the bottom of this article. This guy was only exercising his legal right to bear arms. Chris Matthews talks down to, grills and even cusses this guy for doing so.

It's hilarious how the media portrays guns...sad, but hilarious.

No one is a bigger supporter of the 2nd Amendment than me, but showing up at a Presidential event with any kind of gun is probably not the best idea, legal or no. You better believe I wouldn't put my hand any where near it if I was any of those guys.

Agreed, legal but not very smart.

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.

I think that is why the Secret Service did not bother

Here is how the media will cover it. Obviously they will cover it up because it doesnt fit their lie.

I don't understand what you mean about the media not covering it when it is on both msnbc and cnn, and I would imagine many other news outlets as well

They're covering it as "racially charged" and "white supremacist hate groups" when it was actually a black man carrying the assault rifle. He meant they're not covering the guy's race because it doesn't fit into their agenda.

Gotcha, I had not seen that in any of the stuff I read but I'm sure it is out there. (Disclaimer: I obviously did not read titans link. I presume it is in there)
