Open carry guy is not the best poster boy after all.

Posted by – August 31, 2009

So after the debate regarding open carry at political protests, via Confederate Yankee I come to learn that the guy carrying the AR15 has made statements about hoping for the presidents death:

When asked if he was advocating violence against the President, Broughton said he wouldn’t answer the question directly.

“I don’t care how God does it, I’m not going into further detail than that,” said Broughton. “It would be better now than later.”

So for all of the rhetoric about normalization, not hiding, etc. It turns out that this might not be the best spokesman for the gun rights movement after all. While I am not a fan of our current president, I think praying for his assassination is clearly over the top.

    First, wishing God would strike down Obama somehow isn't quite the same as advocating that someone goes out to do it. Still makes him a horrible poster child for gun owners. But it is different.

    Second, what kind of nut job thinks moving Biden to the big chair would be an improvement. Biden is to Obama what Quayle was to Bush I.

  • Wow. What a good Christian.

    *sigh*
