Did that person fire his Assault rifle at that rally? Did anyone die at that rally? Did anyone strap C4 to their chest and blow up any protesters? Comparing them to jihadist pricks is sickening.

The second amendment does not exist so people can go out and shoot bears. It exists so people can go out and shoot corrupt gov't.
More or less.
I dont get all warm and fuzzy seeing a guy pack around a automatic assault rifle, but it his his right. People can choose to exercise their rights if they feel compelled to do so. I dont see what all the fuss is here.
