benEzra's Journal - Guns are NOT allowed anywhere near the President.

The Official Media Freakout is precisely what the protesters were after. Taking advantage of MSM gullibility, gun ignorance, and paranoia to COMPLETELY derail Obama's message about health care.

How many news articles and threads have you seen about what Obama said that that forum, compared to how many articles and threads you've seen about some guy carrying an unloaded centerfire .22 in an unsecured area nowhere near the President?

You think buring Obama's message was unintentional? You think it's not exactly what the protesters were after? And as a bonus, they even suck a few people into trying to resurrect the gun-ban albatross, too; you think that was unintentional as well?

I say: BAN 'EM ALL (except maybe for licenced hunters living in rural/remote areas)

You think statements like this help the party? Again, you're giving these people exactly what they want---getting the focus off health care, and instead talking about pie-in-the-sky gun bans and similar nonsense. You're being played.
