I know we are going to get a ton of comments on this.....again.....and I'll say again....the exercising of ANY right when done in an intentional inflammatory manner does nothing for the "cause" or right being exercised.

If people aren't going to exercise their rights or are worried about what others think, than maybe would should give them up now. Don't see or anyone here saying we should all quit hunting a that gets bad press all the time from people shooting ~~people~~ bears.

They way I see it, this is good.
Some people called the cops and saw nothing happen, because no laws where broken. Some people were actually told by cops that it was legal. People saw people carrying firearms and no one was shot. Some anti gun people looked like the idiots they are.

The fact that the reporter called it an assualt rifle pretty much screams biased.

If anything they brought attention to the typical liberal overreaction that happens anytime someone exercises their constitutional right. We shouldn't be crucifying these guys we should be commending them for showing people that this is nothing to be afraid of.
