The AP reports that there were at least twelve people publicly displaying guns--pistols and rifles--outside the building where Preisdent Obama was addressing the VFW today in Phoenix. At least one man's two guns were loaded. This is the second time in a week this kind of thing has happened. The first was in Portsmouth, NH where where a man had a loaded pistol strapped to his leg. Also in Portsmouth, a man snuck into the hall--eluding security--where Obama would address a meeting on health care in a few hours. This man had a knife on him and a pistol with a bullet in it in his truck.
Are some people saying in a manner that presents a clear and present danger that they wish great harm to come to the President of the U.S. Yes they are. Have they forgotten about 1963 and 1968? Perhaps they approved of those assassinations, who knows what is in their miserable minds?
The Secret Service should consider these gunmen to be making overt threats against the president and start files on them, visit them, quiz their families and friends, and watch them closely if Obama returns to their cities. One or more of these guns is going to go off and an innocent person will suffer--a local policeman, a Secret Service agent, an ordinary citizen. What shame these Obama-haters are calling down upon themselves!
