This story keeps rolling; my take remains 1) eh, it’s a non-event, nobody’s getting hurt and they are making a point, but 2) they’re also giving the enemies of the RKBA ample ammo for scaring fence-riding folks.
I’m glad the point is being pushed in public (that all the pants-crapping hysteria is for naught, the mere presence of a lawfully carried firearm isn’t a big deal…and it ain’t like the USSS and the police in the area weren’t at least as well armed as the guy in question), but I remain unconvinced that this is necessarily the way we want to travel. Not because we’re wrong, but because the other side trades in fear.
you have to fix your feed.

I have to upgrade WP, but it’s a project that’s backburnered…sorry. I guess people have to read the old fashioned way

Unfortunately, people are choosing not to read the old-fashioned way. According to Google’s stats, you’ve already lost 10 RSS readers because of the problem. (That’s just Google RSS users, I have no idea how many you’ve lost on other services.)
If you have a timeline on when you’ll be working on things, I suggest letting people know so you don’t lose other regular readers. If they know a solution is on the way, they might be willing to stick with reading the old fashioned way for a little while longer.

I’m not a technophobe, but this stuff just doesn’t really interest me…so it hasn’t risen to the level of “oh shit! Gotta do that!”…just yet. I didn’t even know what an RSS feed was until somebody brought the hackage to my attention. The blogs I read, I read by clicking the address into the http:// thing at the top of the page. That doesn’t seem hard to me…but I like I said I dunno much about this stuff and I’m sure there’s a reason RSS feeds exist.
Between helicopter school, work, and community work I do…as much as I like being a blogger…it’s just not a priority enough that fixing it has risen to the top of the honey-do list.
I’m gonna get a buddy of mine who does this stuff professionally work on it later this week…
And please, dear regular readers, take this not as a suggestion that I’m being snotty or I don’t care about making my rants convenient to read…I do think spammers should be shot.

If those who think non-government employees should be permitted to own firearms let the scope of their freedom be constrained by alarmist news coverage of non-violent firearms ownership then the news will eventually constrain acceptable behavior to be no freedom to keep and bear arms at all (New York City).
Giving in to the alarmists in the news media is far too close to giving up your RKBA.

If you have an idea of when it might be fixed, I would share it. (The reader number went down by another one in Google since my last comment.) If you put the main point in the title of the post, we can read it. It’s just that any and all parts of the body of the post are coming up as nothing other than spam.

Nothing stops fear-mongering like removing the reason for the fear, which is usually unfamiliarity.
Make guns “normal” in public and the fear mongering will fail. Then chastise the fear mongers for their illogic, their emotion-based idiocy, and their disrespect for human rights, including self defense.

Reasons for guns at demonstrations:
(1) to intimidate progressives, Obama, the Congress (all three have a well-earned reputation for cowing-down to the slap-arounds the far right is good at delivering);
(2) to cause a disruption between gun-controllers and gun-toters, thereby switching the terms of the debate to a fight over gun-control, not health care. It’s bait.
Those who frame first, frame last.
