“Man With Gun Arrested During Obama Address”
Just-tweeted from matttbastard. The article linked from matt’s tweet is Associated Press, and I do not link to or quote from their articles, but I can and will link to mattt’s tweet. Apparently, an attentive security officer’s radar was triggered by the man’s attempt to park in a secure area. His car was searched (that’s a requirement for parking in that area, anyway), and they found a gun and ammunition in the trunk.

But, but, Kathy, “if you promote a radical agenda you will ruffle a lot more feathers of the crazies than you would with a moderate, well thought out and incrimental approach.”
…..somehow justifying their behavior ! God Bless America!

That's exactly what I thought. christoofar
It's getting real scary out there..I just wish everyone would take a step back, deep breath, & think once in a while. =(
Not hypey enough. We're still missing the childish use of caps for silly over-emphasis and one or multiple exclamation marks.
There may be a bit of jumping the gun

You forgot to mention serial posting.
Sorry…apologize in advance…forgive please…couldn't resist.
Really we don't know anything about this guys politics or what he was doing. Here in Texas there is almost kn place you can't go with a shotgun in the trunk. Some People put guns in their cars and don't touch them for years. He might be a nut or he might be forgetful. It's better to get the info before making the call. I will say for all the disagreements I have with Kathy she just laid out facts and didn't state an opinion without more to back it up.

Well, Ellis, some of us don't want the entire country to be like Texas. One of a place like that is more than enough.
And thanks for the reluctant compliment.
Some more details on this:

Looks like the Attorney General decided he wasn't a crazie, just a law breaker.
More ingnorant comments on this one thread than I can count.
1. Man with a gun arrested by a man…..with a gun.
2. Texas is an awesome state. Just one of a dwindling number of free states.
3. I carry a weapon any time I go to DC. I have to at least try to outgun the one who wants to rob or kill me.
and finally……
2nd Amendment:

Can't live without trying to be insulting every time you post.
“You forgot to mention serial posting.”
It's still an open question if there will be additional threads on Wilson's shouting, or on protestors, next week, in addition to the excess number of threads already.
“Well, Ellis, some of us don't want the entire country to be [American]“
Edited for improved clarity and correctness.

Nah, Ellis — I'm just an amateur at that game.
Except for those who don't feel free to venture out their door for fear of being shot down by a crazed Texan with a gun and an itchy trigger finger.
You've hit the nail right on the head with your 2nd Amendment quote. Too many Americans think they are a militia, and act like they are a militia.
“I shudder for my country when I reflect that Texas is America.”
–Thomas Jefferson, amended slightly to reflect what Jefferson might have said if he were alive today.
Maybe the Louisiana Purchase isn't going to be regretted, Kathy, but I suppose you'll find (with no need to look elsewhere at all) that it was regrettable that Manifest Destiny and our imperialist and expansionist era included intolerance and punishment of secession.
Or would you like the GOP if they had remained Radical Republicans as during Reconstruction?
