Here’s is how I feel about

THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS

Bear them, knock yourself out- owning handling and keeping guns is a huge responsibility.

I almost let my husband’s tomato plants die the last time he went on a business trip- the pressure- I did not deal with the pressure well at all. So gun owning is not something I should take on. That thing would end up in the washing machine or something.

So when I first heard that Anti-Healthcare Reformers were bringing guns and in at least one case an Assault Weapon to President Obama’s Town Hall- I didn’t question their God Given Right To Bear Arms, I wondered- where were these guys when George W Bush did his meet and greets when he was out pushing his issues?

I mean he probably would have gone out there and squeezed a few off with those Fine Americans who were carrying guns around people at a family event where I’m willing to bet they’ve only ever done that at gun ranges or with their own friends who are used to being around assault weapons and wouldn’t have done anything to make the gun guy panic and reach for his weapon.

 I mean, if there was EVER a gun friendly President it was George W Bush.

So where were you then Gun People?

Please, do not give me that ” because we can ” carry guns- you COULD have done that at Republican events and did not back in “W”‘s day and as far as I know you haven’t done it recently. In addition, when my kids used to say, ‘ just because’ when they were in trouble I’d tack an extra week of restriction on whatever it was I was busting them for.

So how do I feel about these people who are taking guns to Town Halls?

I want them to

 say it,

tell the truth.

And don’t

F^%$ with us,

Exactly WHY are you taking Assault Weapons

to a Town Hall where the President is speaking.

Because the answer you’re giving right now is far more troubling to me then the weapons you are carrying.
