If "every life is sacred" why carry guns to town hall meetings?

The most disturbing and disgusting fact is that ALL these record gun and ammo sales are to retards that actually want to use that firepower on fellow Americans ! I fear that that ,not if, but when, shots are fired at a "townhall", that the mob will cheer the assassin(s) on ! At that point, all bets are off !

It's a right. It's like asking if people should be allowed to speak up at a town hall meeting or if the police need a warrant to search you in a town hall meeting. Take away that gun one and what are you going to do when they take away the others?

What does carrying a gun have to do with "every life is sacred". Why not carry a gun to town hall meetings? If guns are so dangerous, shouldn't women not be allowed to wear high heels? Shouldn't all signs be outlawed? Especially those with sticks supporting them. Shouldn't jackets which could conceal a pipe bomb be outlawed? How about hats? Sneakers where you could conceal a shoe bomb? Maybe pants with pockets where you can carry a knife? I agree with you NO GUNS, matter of fact lets just make everyone go stark naked. We may not have as many participants but it would certainly increase those on the sideline watching.

1 they didn't go IN to the town hall meeting.

#2 Arizona is an open carry state. You get used to seeing people shopping in Safeway with a sidearm on. A LOT of people carry there because the LAW says they can as long as it isn't concealed.

#3 It's not about hate. We'll leave that crap to the Liberals. It's about exercising the RIGHTS given to us by the Constitution and state laws.

Wether or not every life is sacred largely depends on who you ask. Moral relativism does not apply well in this instance. Are the lives of an innocent child and a convicted child molester equally valuable? I say no, but you may disagree.

No lives have ended as a result of carrying guns to townhall meetings. I have no problem with differing opinions, but when others try to impose their will on me- then we have a problem.

Carrying guns to town hall meetings is an expression of freedom (and personal responsibility), nothing more.

Many gun owners (I am one of them), consider private gun ownership the ultimate expression of personal freedom, and every FREE citizen in every FREE country should own one, not be ALLOWED to own one.

It is a birth rite.

I collect guns, rarely hunt, and would use it in my own self defense or defending some one who is being attacked, but only in the gravest extreme.

The vast majority of gun owners believe this also.

Many have never even fired some of their guns. I have rare collectors pieces I would never shoot. I got mad when my son cleaned the original cosmoline preservative out of it.

People who call gun owners nut cases, or psychos are biased extremists.

Yes, it seems that it is a contradiction in terms to believe life is scared, but own a gun.

Defend the defenseless.

There are pacifists in America who would never own a gun.

They would be appalled to know that other Americans are willing to kill and be killed to defend their right to be a pacifist.

If bowling balls helped found this country, i would own bowling balls, dont try to take it away from me.

The reason that guns were carried was not to demonstrate the desire to kill, but the desire to live. It's about self preservation, and a demonstration of constitutional rights.

As far as why some people hate because of different opinions or religion... I don't know. Ask a Democrat, they're the one spouting hatred.

Okay first who carried a gun actually into a town hall meeting? Second you have a moral duty to protect your family from those who would do them harm a gun helps greatly in preventing harm done to your family. Also sometimes protecting your family requires protecting yourself especially if you are the caretaker (aka mother or father) of the family.

Please explain to me what carrying a gun (exercising your rights) has to do with:

the sanctity of life

hate

personal opinions

religion

Then I will attempt to answer your question

Watch the news sometime - So far, the only violence reported at town halls, has been Democrats physically assaulting Republicans, "just because their opinions are different"...But, I guess you think that's okay since the Democrats weren't carrying a gun...

I'm not seeing the correlation, perhaps you could explain it. Leave it to a liberal to interpret people exercising constitutional rights as " hating your fellow Americans " If your not one already, you might have a job as a professor in a liberal university somewhere in your future with a statement like that. God bless.
