A Non-State Gun at Obama Event - by Butler Shaffer
• Lew RockwellThose who are getting their diapers in a knot over the appearance of a
man with an assault rifle at an Obama event need a little perspective.
They might recall when a
contingent of Black Panthers walked into the California State
Legislative chambers with rifles and shotguns – while the legislature
was in session – to make a political statement. No shots were fired; no
one was injured; but the incident was intended to remind government
officials of the purpose of the Second Amendment. Ordinary people – not
the state’s police and military – are to have the ultimate power in a
free society.
