Even if the concept is a firing squad, in the name of justice, one has to question its usage today. Key is, from this point forth what to do. I also think the law against carrying a weapon X feet from an official is absurd, as a blanket one. I do believe that political people speaking do have every right to not allow anyone in the speaking area who has a weapon though, even if the individual has a permit for it also. |
Well, it's just kind of funny to me that a lot of Democrats are banging on about Sharon Angle's "second amendment remedy" remark these past few days and how the RNC should have immediately disowned her. You know, because it shows that the Republicans are to blame for the "toxic atmosphere" or whatever. Kanjorski made a much more specific remark about killing a specific politician, and down the memory hole it goes! Typical.
I think it's fine to have security measures at political events. I would imagine it's pretty common already, though I never have attended a rally. But, I mean, I'm searched if I go to a football game. Why wouldn't I be if I'm going to be near a high level politician? King's idea is pretty fucked, though. It's no one's responsibility to find out where every congressperson or bureaucrat is at any given point in time, and the whole idea of a two tier system of that sort just makes me queasy.
Edit: Well, that's not true. I was actually at a Travis Childers thing on campus a few months back. Bill Clinton was even there, and there was no security to speak of.
Edit #2: I don't even get how such a law would work. Say Joe Manchin wants to take his grandkids out to go hunting for cap & trade bills. Are they in violation of the law for carrying a gun near him?
