It is funny in a way, that those above, the USMB Fringe, reacted by characterizing the Coffee Party movement as "Fringe", but, never once provided any evidence suggesting the truth of such a characterization.
As stated in the OP, no one went to a meeting anywhere in the country carrying a firearm. Can that be said about Tea Parties?
The only evidence presented was a video of a Tea Party, and I suspect the smarter fringers understood (well, "understood" maybe too kind) how they appear to normal human beings.
Just to play Devil's advocate....what is fringe about legally wearing a firearm to an event? While I think it is a very stupid idea, it is a right guaranteed in our Constitution, yes?
Of course, it is legal under some circumstances. How many people do you know? And, how many people do you know who openly carry firearms? Suppose you attended your son or daughter's little league baseball game, and suppose a parent attended carrying openly. Would you find that fine and dandy, or normal behavior?
I never said it would be fine and dandy....however, under the law, that person, with the appropriate permits has the right to do so. How is that fringe again?
