The title of the
article posted on CNN is misleading and so is it's
message.
The title speaks as though someone threatened/assaulted the president with a GUN....When clearly that wasn't the case.
As to the statement "It may be hard to believe but it wasn't illegal." (to carry a firearm that is), It's your right under the constitution to do so, what they trick you with is the permit to carry a "consealed" firearm, because anything ILLEGAL, the govenment/state must issue you a permit for!
Then they go on to say "The protesters stayed far enough away to avoid trouble"
Read it this way, people protesting (including the armed citizens) respect the law enough to keep a distance, NOT be a threat or perceived threat to the president and it's a fact by their own admission.
"In both places, the protesters said they opposed the president's plans for healthcare but meant him no harm."
But to make a point guns are bad, there is a danger they put in "though one man was arrested for trespassing and police found a gun in his car."
The gun was in his car....not ON HIM where he was trespassing, so HE TOO obviously meant no harm to the President either.
Corporate Media has got to STOP trying to put the spin on things like this, because it demeans the whole purpose for us to disagree and openly contest our government's policies and to exercise our rights. Folks, if you don't exercise your rights, you will LOSE them!
