Guns at Obama's Meetings

[xr2]

I agree. If I had the choice between total ban and no laws whatsoever, I'd take no laws.

I knew that sounded familiar.

Ummm... Switzerland has no gun laws. In fact it's practically mandatory that every one owns one.

And no one ever invades!

Makes sense to me!

im all for the guys right to carry, but i don't think this was good judgement. these meetings have been a little heated and carrying weapons to a possibly volatile meeting might not be good judgement in my opinion. otherwise, im all for the guys right to carry wherever he wants, no matter if the president is around or not.

The SS have guns. Enough to cut down the whole crowd if they wanted to. Nobody is saying anything about that. Where was the Brady Bunch advocating that they give up their arms?

One person accused of disorderly conduct was detained and released, according to the Gallatin Airport Authority.

And where was the POTUS saying that the Airport Police acted stupidly? Do you think he learned his lesson or didn't care cause he wasn't wearing the mark of the beast?

Actually it is mandatory for all males who have been in the armed services (which is almost all of them). They are required to keep rifles (generally fully auto Sigs) in their homes to defend the country if the need arises.

A government that doesn't trust its own people with arms is not a government of, by, and for the people.

That statement is completely false.

The Swiss have very strict gun laws.

Part of this is some what true.

I lived in Switzerland for 2 years.

Most males are required by law to join the Army at age 20. Many get deferments based on medical reasons. This is a lifetime conscription. The Swiss have a very small active duty military. Most of the part time soldiers keep their Rifles only locked up home. They no longer issue any ammo to them. The rifle can only be taken out for official training and the soldier must be in uniform.

Private ownership of firearms is strictly controlled.

As far as personal freedom in Switzerland, you would be amazed at all the laws they have.

The main reasons no one invades Switzerland is that it has very limited resources and is not strategically located, unless you are trying to transport Jews and arms between Italy and Germany.........

Germany wouldn't have gotten such a bad rap if they enslaved the French only. IMHO.

I think Germany was after those who posed a threat
That and they wanted World war... if you go after the French like that I hardly think anyone would have risked World war!
