Lifestyle Redesigned

The President was in Arizona today as part of the tour to sell his health plan. Or maybe it was to see what a horrible economy and housing market looks like first hand. Honestly I’m not really sure why he came. However, I was more than a little embarrassed by the fact that we had some redneck Arizonans out with their firearms at the protest. I think it makes us look like a state of backward hicks, which to be honest, we do have a lot of here so it’s not that far off the mark.

Last week on the President’s trip to New Hampshire a protester made the news by sporting his handgun on his leg at a protest there. It was a big deal for obvious reasons, and the fact that it was not illegal and the police could do nothing about it made it even more crazy. Of course mindless rednecks, not being able to come up with an idea all their own other than when they have to go to the bathroom decided to do the same thing here. Except this time one of them came out with an assault rifle.

I have to wonder to myself what these idiots are thinking. Do they really think it makes them cool or intelligent doing something like this? I have news for them, it makes them look like a bunch of backwoods hillbilly’s or radical militia members. Then again with the article I read the other day about militia groups on the rise in the U.S., that may not be too far off either. But they need to seriously need to pull their heads out of their A**.

Now I’m a supporter of an individual’s right to bear arms and limited gun control, but idiots like this are starting to make me reconsider the later. I’m a gun owner myself, as are many of my friends and we fully enjoy our right. But people like this, who like to flaunt it in the face of so many who oppose it just makes it harder for the rest of us who are responsible. It is people like we have seen today in Arizona that need to be screened before they are allowed to own a gun, or have it taken it away from them because they are irresponsible idiots.

Hey dummies – don’t ruin it for the rest of us, and show your President some respect while you are at it.
