r3VOLutionary Chris B. with an AR15 at Obama VFW Town Hall Meeting 08-17-09

[OM617POWER]

Nothing wrong with Lawful open carry; hence the lawful part... That's the fact in Arizona.. What is wron is two jackasses on CNN calling the AR "an assault rifle"... But I'm glad to see your typical idiot news reporter has no idea what he's talking about, reinforcing everyone's opinion that the media knows nothing and is generally full of hot air... It's a sporting rifle, or atleast by the BATFE's definition, never mind anyone who actually owns one.. "assault rifle"? What a liberal..

[ImpmonInThe90s]

These douche bags are making Chris look like a psychopath and when they were showing the footage of him, it's pretty obvious why they nearly silenced the video and put in honking sounds. Because you can't hear what are his true beliefs and thus showing that these CNN douche bags are making Chris look like the bad guy.

[oehieze]

black people everywhere did a massive FACEPALM after that idiot came on screen

[TheRogueJackass]

@oehieze What the fuck is that supposed to mean? All African Americans have a collective mindset? What are they the borg? African Americans can't have individual thoughts and feelings?

[jlstark23]

He was protecting the 2nd Amendemnt. Wow CNN is ridiculus, I cant stand this propaganda.

[ladypitbullove]

HA! Ha! They can't call this guy with the AR a "racist"...

These Corporate media scum bags don't know how to act when they can't put convienent LABELS on everyone!!!

KEEP OPEN CARRY GOING and PROVE to the people that the mere sight of a Firearm does NOT mean violence!!!

BLESS THE GUY WITH THE AR-15!!!

[ladypitbullove]

AR-15 is NOT an assult weapon...

[Freedom0115]

This news commentator is such a Jackass

[mlong5151]

very brave american patriot

[Suetonius88]

chris is a true patriot

[HKBM45]

Welcome to Arizona.

We don't want your health care.

We don't want your gun control.

Move along.

[Serafinos]

Chris for PRESIDENT!

Intelligent, cool & OMG great looking!

Puts Ogodfather -- Thug Leader of the New World Order of Chicago Dirty Politics Control -- TO SHAME!!!

[propagandaALLisPHONY]

lame stream media has it all wrong.. again, there was only one man with an ar 15 and about a dozen total carrying.

[rsrs17]

they're misreporting this. This isn't a town hall rally, this is a scene from spike lee's upcoming remake of falling down.

[MrWizenBud]

source ??

[a3HeadedMonkey]

He was exercising his second amendment right & you fucking know it you bullshit reporter puppet.

Love it! Look what happens when a member of the public carries a gun to a presidential appearance. Want to see what happens when A non-civilian takes a gun to one such event? You need to Google JFK assassination. ;]

Know your enemy!

/watch?v=4smim2MNvF8

[LiveFreeOrDieNow]

$^#& the media. These talking heads can take their corporate government propaganda and shove it up their $##@!. You're *&^^#(* right I'm carrying a weapon. If you're scared its because you are doing something wrong. Rick Sanchez, you are a tool. I'm canceling my cable tv.

[yammyspeed13]

That reporter was just afraid of a black man with a gun. Fucking racist shithead.

[yammyspeed13]

Oh my god, poor reporter. He barely made it out of there without pissing his pants!

[MissouriSniper]

Good man that's what this Republic is all about! And there are Millions more of us. This not a Democracy were 51% can take away the rights of the other 49% wake up America it will be your treasured right they will be coming for next. I solute this true Patriot and guess what no one got a scratch in fact everyone in that crowd were more safe because of these Honest American gun owners.

[bob733333]

cable news makes me ill

[onegodoneson]

OMG a loaded gun kill him hes for freedom.... Idiots

[MrWizenBud]

Gerald Celente told you.... "The 2nd American Revolution has begun.". This is just the beginning. Follow the Constitution or expect blow-back. The silent majority is beginning to warm up their vocal chords. A storm is on the horizon. Either start listening to the people or start the ducking & diving. A line is being drawn between those that want government 2 control all & those that want liberty from government in all things. If we don't come together soon... things will spiral out of control.

[klingoncelt]

See? I told you.

[MrWizenBud]

Told me what ? I am talking about the divide in America. Having guns or not having guns doesn't change the split. Matter of fact.... having gun owners showing their support of the Constitution by lawfully caring a gun during a protests, is as American as it gets. The out of control part comes when the government refuses to comply with the contract. That contract being the US Constitution. If it takes having a few guns around to get the attention of the crooked politicans... I'm all for it.

[malibuhur12]

They are helping the cause by reacting to it this way. I love it. As long as its peaceful im all for it. If the MSM didn't report on the first guy with the gun these new gun owners wouldnt be popping up but the more they report it the more people will show up with guns. awesome.

[ARC4L]

Thanks for exercising your rights.

[MNtruthSeeker]

Fla rep is pushing a bill thru that every home should have a gun. We all need to do that in our own states

[klingoncelt]

That removes freedom of choice. There are some real dummies out there that shouldn't have guns.

[eurohim]

They cause no harm. What they are doing is legal. What they are doing is constitutionally protected. What they're doing has no doubt been done many times before in our country's history probably 70+ years ago. The vast majority of people are good, not bad.

[SYNPlaymaker88]

couple of points:

Isn't CNN racist for questioning a black man's exercising his legal right to carry a firearm?

Where was this outrage when armed black panthers blocked polling places on election day for the express stated purpose of "stopping whitey and ensuring we have a black president" in fact CNN dismissed it.

Who is the guy? as we have seen from the town halls Obama uses plants to fake his way through, such as the 11 year old whose mama worked for him. it's the Alinsky way.

[MNtruthSeeker]

Not really.............I say lets all carry

[tonylee1973]

this is unnecasary. its not smart.

[bicstic8]

it is legal and he wants to. people have their rights and you have your opinion

[ronheri]

It seems to me that this out of control big government has freedom loving people concerned. By this show of arms, they are making a statement to Big Brother...Back Off...We want our Constitution left alone.

[blaziermissy]

This weapon crap totally averted the attention away from healthcare.

People who own their own small businesses can't even afford healthcare anymore. You have to work for corporatacracy, the govt or be very poor to have healthcare. Small business rates are through the roof. I stopped paying when it went to almost 800 dollars per month. Insurance monopolies are robbing the people.

[LOTR1961]

The only reason these stories get so much play is that there are so many of our fellow citizens who have a slave mentality. All throughout history slaves were not allowed to be armed, it is the surest sign that you think like or are a slave.

[Scoforever]

Who do you want to have the guns? Civilians or criminals?

[stshell]

cnn can't get a mic on this guy ? could it be they don't want you to hear on their network an intelligent black man that supports the second amendment but not obama's agenda. give the guy a chance to speak before you infer what he says sheesh.

[grillurnuts]

exactly...

[Gollywog]

someone should attend with a .50 cal sniper rifle and openly show it. That'll get the secret service nervous. Or just turn up in KKK uniforms just to enact thier constitutional rights. Black guys dressed in KKK gear - "KKK for Obama". It's almost becoming a joke now anyways

[klingoncelt]

Two words:

Squeaky Fromme

Sooner or later someone is going to carry a weapon in and open fire. You want to advertise your 2nd Amendment rights? Then carry a sign.

[Luigi84289]

you're not making any sense. You know HOW protected the president is? People are fed up. They are just showing the feds that the constitution is still there and we haven't forgotten about it. If everybody was armed there would be no gun violence. Risk goes up too much. We have the second amendment right to protect us from the government.

[klingoncelt]

I'll tell you what I'm worried about. Its not those of you that want to make an issue of the 2nd Amendment. It's that some psycho is going to decide that not just the President, but anyone left-leaning is a threat to our national security and then open fire on a crowd.

There are lots of crazies out there. Don't encourage them.

[tonylee1973]

exactly this is not necassary

[MrWizenBud]

To follow your thinking to its logical end.... the Police, FBI, & Secret Service shouldn't have been armed either. One of them may be crazy or a crazy in the crowd could take the firearm & do some killing. What's next? No breathing the air because it may contain harmful particles? No showers because water makes your skin wrinkle? You do not take away rights because someone may overstep their rights. You punish those that break the law.... not the person that lives within it.

[klingoncelt]

That's an irrational and lame argument.

The cops were there in uniform and carrying ID, clearly there to protect the civilians. A rogue cop would probably not be assigned to this event.

A guy with a gun could mean anything.

[MrWizenBud]

Police are human too. So how is it a lame argument ? "A Rogue cop wouldn't be assigned to this event." How does one know a rogue cop from a good one ? It's your logic thats flawed here.

[klingoncelt]

Do you have a job? Can't you tell which of your co-workers do well and which have issues? You don't send the losers out on a mission, it makes your whole business look bad.

[MrWizenBud]

Haven't you ever heard the statement..."He was so nice & quiet. I would have never thought him capable of something like this." How about the police officer that was arrested in San Antonio, Texas for rape ? I guess he slipped through the cracks ? Or the cop that shot the man cheating with his wife... I guess they forgot to psychoanalyze him. That 2 examples.... need more ?

[klingoncelt]

There are profiles out there.

Police deprtments are well aware of those profiles. The silent loner types, the ones that think a badge puts them above the law, the ones that have a lot more stuff than they should be able to afford, the drunks & druggies, they know.

That they fail to follow up on problem officers reflects badly on the department.

Where I'm at, the bad ones don't stick around very long.

[MrWizenBud]

"Police Departments are well aware of those profiles?"

The police are not SUPER-HUMAN. They are just as flawed as anyone else out there in the world. They just happend to train for a job where one is given a badge & a gun to "protect" society. That doesn't mean that these people that become cops are good. stable people. It also doesn't mean that they are above committing a crime. There wouldn't be dirty cops if other cops didn't protect them with the "Blue Shield". Cops are people, flawed.

[klingoncelt]

Please re-read my comments. If you ever held a job you'd know what I'm talking about.

Try to keep up.

[MrWizenBud]

Try to keep up ? With who ? You ? From my count I am kicking your ass.

You think profiles are the end all be all of the human condition. Let's use a case where a gun was used in the shooting & the profile DIDN'T help one bit. the Washington DC sniper case. Tell the truth... you thought, just as every COP in the NATION did... that guy was WHITE. The most unpredictable animal on the planet,Man. As for "knowing the people on the job" BS. I smoke Pot. But U wouldn't know it if you worked with me

[klingoncelt]

Yes I would.

As for the DC sniper case, not a lot of white men use Tarot cards.

[MrWizenBud]

Only if I told you. ;)

Not alot of Whitemen use Tarot cards ? Do you know how many Wiccans you just pissed off ?

[klingoncelt]

I'm a pagan. Not many white pagan men are serial killers. Mostly they're pretty laid back.

[MrWizenBud]

No disrespect meant here.... but, wasn't the Manson Family pagans ?

[klingoncelt]

I never saw any indication of that. Mostly it was a cult with Charlie as the messiah.

Pagans and wiccans weren't on the map until the late 1970s, save for the occasional palm reader.

[MrWizenBud]

No... carry the gun. The sign doesn't make as big of a statement as the AR-15 slung around the shoulders.

[hellsunicorn]

Indeed, just like the violent accident of a bank robber firing shots into the streets of an allegedly gun free city called London.

As far as I see it, violent intentions are, more often than not, connected with oligarchical government. There's your occasional violent crime of passion or planning, but most bloodshed throughout history has been the result of state sponsored violence. I would personally include violent crime in gun controlled zones as state sponsored violence.

[klingoncelt]

Occasional?

Every day there are domestic disputes that end with someone being shot. Every day there are armed robberies. Every day some schizo goes off the meds and grabs a gun.

Occasionally, someone kills a politician, like JFK, RFK, and MLK.

[Luigi84289]

The world is an evil place but making it so the criminals and state have freerun on all the citizens is not the answer. Crime goes up insanely when Gun Control is implemented. Criminals are still goin' to the same places to get their guns and it's not walmart.

[MrWizenBud]

12,000 murders a year out of 300 million people caused by guns. Another 14,000 people commit suicide by gun(accounting for just less than half of the suicides in the US). Car wrecks kill nearly 2 times(42,600) as many people in a year. There are more guns than there are cars. So yes.... it's an occasional occurence in the grand scheme.

[klingoncelt]

So that's 26,000 people that would be alive otherwise.

I think it should be mandatory for everyone to take a gun safety course. By everyone I mean everyone over the age of six.

[MrWizenBud]

"So that's 26,000 people that would be alive otherwise."

I wouldn't go that far. 14,000 of them were suicides. So 26,000 isn't an accurate count. You can say 12,000 for sure.... maybe 15,000 on the high side. Because I can't prove that they would kill themselves without the gun & you can't prove they wouldn't kill themselves if they didn't have a gun. So yes... The numbers make the event look even more like an occasional occurrence in the death race. Less than cars, old age, cancer, etc

[Luigi84289]

The criminals still get their guns regardless of what the state decides. Gun Control is making all the people victims to criminals and followers of whatever the state wants.

[klingoncelt]

I don't want any personal information, but I do wonder how old some of you 2nd Amendment folks are. I grew up in Appalachia, everyone had guns. The guns had to be registered. They had to be locked away from the little kids. They could not be openly carried as they are now. No one complained. Turkey shoots and deer hunting went on as usual.

[Squirelbutt]

LOL. love it.

[Aracuru]

2nd Amendment! Yeah!

Our words mean NOTHING if we can't back it up with FORCE when Tyranny is threatening our Liberty.

[SafeArmsReview]

So now african americans are carrying firearms at an obama townhall meeting

hmmm... now thats funny.

I guess this debunks the false claims of democrats about white, rednecks' congrats for another person standing up for their rights.

:D

[MengersDisciple]

Oh snap! They can't even label the courageous African-American as a racist...

[dellamalo]

Bro its not about race. We are all Americans. The more images America sees like this the better.

[kancerzx]

lol what's next, RPGs?

[dellamalo]

RPG is not a gun. Thats illegal silly.

[Squirelbutt]

arms are anything that can be used as weapons. They may make laws but technically those laws are illegal.

[Aracuru]

I *hope* so: it IS protected under the US Constitution since it is an "ARM."

[newbutthunt]

its your 2nd ammendment right to form a militia and bear arms, don't let gov't controlled big corporate main stream media make you beleive your God given rights are bad,you were born free.

[lessgovtnow]

CNN seems to love telling us what we should and shouldn't do and think!

Liberty will win the war!

In the meantime, kill your TV! chris martenson (.) c o m is a much better news source!

[Arginine88]

that is awesome

[deanphilpot]

He can't be a racist ? All gun owners are racist , aren't they?***** Yougo Bubba

[Luigi84289]

didn't know the police were racists.

[TDawg2002]

It's great to see people exercising their rights. No American should consider giving up even the smallest of his rights for Obama's sake. If it makes Obama sad or uncomfortable to see people exercising rights guaranteed by the Constitution...tough titty.

[hellsunicorn]

This sends a message to Obama and his gun grabbing buddies. We are allowed to carry, and we can do so without there being violence, which is more than we can say for a lot of police carrying tazers of late.

There is no violent intent here. But a clear message is sent, and that message is that if you screw with the second amendment, we will screw you right out of office on election day by awakening the silent majority.

You've been put on notice Obama, now back off and listen to the people.

[TheBlackSheep2134]

Right on LPG

[horseygallup]

we are allowed to cary weapons here in az

its the wild west :)

go az

[libertyplayground]

your rights... use them or lose them!

awesome!

[dellamalo]

Right on. More people should exercise their rights.
