To protect and serve...assault rifles

This will be short, for there is little to do but be amazed and infuriated.

It was a publicity stunt set up with the help of police.

In a stunning revelation, an online radio host who interviewed an assault-weapon wielding protester outside President Barack Obama’s healthcare event in Arizona said on Tuesday that the Phoenix police department abetted the effort to interview the protester and knew that he planned to carry a gun outside the event.

Gun lovers can pick nits all they want, that was friggin' assault rifle homeboy was toting in the now-infamous pictures. These guns were developed specifically designed to kill scores of people at a time. They are NOT for deer, no matter what some numbskull tells you.

The police helped this get started and then they "protected the firearm"! Poor wittle defenewess assault wifle! Gotta have po-leese escort.

The assault rifle owner's name is "Hancock"

"They wanted to help - they assigned him [a police officer] to me," Hancock concluded. "He was never more than 4-5 feet away from me. We had law enforcement around us to protect our rights to protect this firearm."

This could not be MORE upside down.

Cops assault peace protests like it is a mandate from GOD then go out of their way to PROMOTE gun-toting at HEALTHCARE debates because they are sick of having a black man in the White House.

The presence of the ASSAULT WEAPON is egregiously irresponsible in that these things are made only for killing lots of people and what do we have at these town halls?

This doesn't have anything to do with "protecting the 2nd Amendment". That's horseshit.

This is irresponsible nonsense and somebody will get hurt and I'll be here telling "I toldjaso".

This. Is. Wrong.
