Obama's Coming to Take Our Guns!!! "Pardner, it's time to take our guns to town."

Despite President Obama's bizarre support for the recent Conservative Supreme Courts decision on the Second Amendment, the right wing myth that Obama wants to take our guns away is just another way to rile up the knuckleheads. I like this comment from Thinkprogress.org:

Apart from the obvious danger from introducing fire arms to a crowded, emotionally-charged environment, as Walt Rubel, the editor of the Las Cruces Sun-Times wrote in today’s paper, displaying guns at a rally is counter-productive to the protestors’ goals.

“Nothing will ‘put a positive light on gun ownership’ quite like inviting every yahoo with a weapon in southern New Mexico to gather at the busiest intersection in Alamogordo and wave their firearms at the passing traffic,” he wrote.

Nearly 350 right-wing protestors crowded a New Mexico town’s busiest intersection yesterday to protest President Obama’s supposed anti-gun agenda and the “government takeover of our health care system.”
