I LOL'd at this.
"What if someone saw the gun, and went off the handle, and grabbed it?"
1) Of course! Completely normal, regular people frequently 'go off the handle' when they see a gun. The gun is what makes them crazy...
He mentions it happening in a courtroom... Where you already KNOW there's violent criminals coming into... Completely different scenario then a public meeting.
2) How is that the Gun's fault? Granted, sure, the guy could have carried it a little more securely, maybe at least level 2 retention.. but he is not required to by law.
3) Whats to say someone couldn't 'go off the handle' and illegally bring a concealed handgun of their own?
4) I'm sure the Secret Service had a scope on that gun the entire time. If some third party 'went off the handle' and grabbed it, and raised it in the president's direction, he would have gotten a .308 round in the chest before he could even get the sights up.

In fact, there was probably a Secret Service guy within arm's reach of the guy.

By that reasoning, women shouldn't be allowed in public except in traditional Muslim head to toe clothes. What if someone saw the girl, and went off the handle, and sexually assaulted her?
I cringe at the incredible ignorance and intolerance exhibited by the left wing nuts.

Is Obama coming to Texas any time soon? Long rifle OC is legal by my understanding, right?
The one thing the reporters made painfully obvious is that if there were a revolution in this country, not counting the military, one side would be almost entirely unarmed. I'll let you guess which side that is.
