Carrying Guns To Town Hall Meetings

This is not an argument regarding whether or not citizens should be allowed to carry concealed weapons or not... however, I do find it intriguing that people have started bringing guns to Town hall meetings.

I find it even more intriguing that MSNBC has aired video of an anti-Obama protester who is carrying a non concealed gun to a public event.

From MSNBC:

Outside the event where President Obama will conduct his town hall, there is an anti-Obama protestor with a gun -- a pistol strapped to his lower leg.

The local police chief said it's legal for the man to have a registered handgun -- as long as it is not concealed. What's more, he is on private property, a church yard, which has given him permission to be there.

The loophole is, in New Hampsire, the church has given him permission to be there with his gun and he is within his rights to do so.

You would think, that in this day and age, crazed gun fanatics who are anti-Obama would not be allowed to be near the President of the united States! This is absurd!

How come these guys were not carrying guns to Bush Town Hall meetings and would they have been allowed to? Can you imagine a guy with a "Bush is a nazi" shirt being allowed to carry a gun while Bush was speaking at Town Hall event? I don't think he would be allowed to, so why are these people allowed to carry guns to public events like this?

What purpose does bringing a gun to a Town Hall meeting serve? Why would anyone need a gun at a Town Hall meeting?

It is intimidation, nothing more. No citizen needs firearms at public Town Hall meetings. The people encouraging this sort of violent intimidation are the people who want guns to be allowed to be carried by students in schools, in churches, and parks, everywhere.

It is hard to find reasoning behind this sort of thing, yet somehow it continues... America is just a word, but I use it.

I am not here to debate whether or not carrying a gun is legal, it most certainly is... however, you'd think when it comes to the safety of the president of the United States, there would be some kind of law on the books to stop people like this from getting within firing range.

What's next? More people carrying guns because cops cannot disarm them?

More and more people will bring guns to Town Hall meetings.

Crazy place that America....

Man Found Guilty For Praying Instead Of Taking Daughter to Doctor

While any citizen of the United States has the right to refuse medical treatment, and can choose to "pray" instead, you cannot refuse care for your child and pray instead! This is the absolute center of religious wackoness! Anyone who would pray over a sick child instead of seeking medical treatment should be jailed.

Wis. jury finds father guilty of killing daughter by praying, not seeking medical care

from this article: Wis. Jury: Father Guilty in Prayer Death Case

This man neglected his child so long, she died, right on the floor of her home with religious wackos standing over her and praying.

A central Wisconsin man accused of killing his 11-year-old daughter by praying instead of seeking medical care was found guilty Saturday of second-degree reckless homicide.

Doctors say she could have easily been cured had she been brought to a doctor.

Doctors testified that Madeline would have had a good chance of survival if she had received medical care, including insulin and fluids, before she stopped breathing.

Nothing fails quite like a prayer, does it?

Dale Neumann, 47, was convicted in the March 23, 2008, death of his daughter, Madeline, from undiagnosed diabetes. Prosecutors contended he should have rushed the girl to a hospital because she couldn't walk, talk, eat or drink. Instead, Madeline died on the floor of the family's rural Weston home as people surrounded her and prayed. Someone called 911 when she stopped breathing.

Why call this guy a wacko? Let me get to that...

Neumann, who once studied to be a Pentecostal minister, testified Thursday that he believed God would heal his daughter and he never expected her to die. God promises in the Bible to heal, he said.

So should we get rid of our hostpitals and doctors in America because the bible says God will heal us? Absurd!

"If I go to the doctor, I am putting the doctor before God," Neumann testified. "I am not believing what he said he would do."

This man wilfully neglected his daughter and it resulted in her death. He tried to say he thought she had the flu, but when you read his disregard for doctors you know that is only being said to weasel his way out of responsibility for his own daughters death and casting it off on God.

Neumann knew he should have taken his daughter to a doctor and minimized her illness when speaking with investigators, Jacobson said, calling Neumann no different than a drunken driver who remarks he only had a couple of beers.

People like this who use the bible as a means to neglect and kill should be locked away from the population. In 2009, it is time to put down the bible and pick up the book of reason and logic which tells us medicine works and prayer does not.

Everyone who prayed in that room should be on trial and/or in jail for neglectful and willful manslaughter.
