Only an egotistical extremist would carry a loaded weapon into a crowd

In an email sent to their members, the Brady campaign lists the following adding a donation link at the bottom.

I'm sorry, Gov. Perry, I didn't quite catch what you said...

Dear Sigma,

Is this the type of President the American public wants?

When asked if he was armed on the campaign trail, Texas Governor Rick Perry smiled and replied, "That’s why it’s called concealed."

Stop this extremism before it reaches

the White House!

The Republican primary campaign has hardly begun and already it is being dominated by extremists. None as scary as Rick Perry who brazenly carries weapons — concealed and revealed. Even on the campaign trail!

Only an egotistical extremist would carry a loaded weapon into a crowd — encouraging others to do so.

Is this where America is headed? Is this the America you want for our nation’s children?

Polls prove over and over again that Americans support sensible gun laws and don’t want guns in public places. Our goal is for our elected officials to reflect the will of the American people, not the "guns everywhere" ideologues.

Please help us with a donation today to stop gun extremists before it is too late.

1) I hope so.

2) Is that why 98% of states have carry laws?

3) Kiss my a**

Oh Davey,

You about knocked me out of my chair. Now that there is funny, I don't care who you are.

Edited a typo.

It is interesting how the Brady's think they can advance their cause by insulting millions and millions of Americans. But that seems par for the course.

Then there are those similar to the Brady campaign folks ... folks who don't know anything about guns and don't want to, yet make "statements of fact" about concealed carry.

I've never owned a gun and probably never will ... I can't imagine [Perry] really is [carrying], but if he were, wouldn't it be stupid beyond belief?

I mean, imagine he's in the middle of a crowd, getting mobbed by supporters, shaking hands and dishing out high fives ... in that scenario, how in the world is he supposed to maintain control over his weapon? Obviously, he couldn't. As a public figure constantly surrounded by people he doesn't know, there's just no way for Rick Perry to safely carry a firearm.

I think if someone tried to tackle Perry during a support rally, that person might find facing a mob of enraged supporters more scary than whatever pistol Perry is packing.

Drylok · August 19, 2011 at 01:58 PM

How many Americans are licensed to carry now? 9 million I believe it is. That's some balls to bad mouth that many ordinary people

TTIN · August 19, 2011 at 01:58 PM

I don't know what polls the Florence Hendersons are looking at,but every poll I have seen says that Americans are heavily in favor of LTC.

Perry is followed around by a big Woody Harrison looking bodyguard. I've seen Perry with the same agent in several videos spanning from 2004 to present. So why aren't they concerned about Woody?

For that matter, why aren't these people sh!tting in their pants over Obama's guard detail? That's like a freaking armed militia :pinch:

...no need to answer the question. It's entirely due to their inability to reason.

GarandFan · August 19, 2011 at 02:08 PM

Many people, including John Lott, suggest that 6 million Americans have carry permits.

I mean, imagine he's in the middle of a crowd, getting mobbed by supporters, shaking hands and dishing out high fives ... in that scenario, how in the world is he supposed to maintain control over his weapon? Obviously, he couldn't. As a public figure constantly surrounded by people he doesn't know, there's just no way for Rick Perry to safely carry a firearm.

Just dawned on me how stupid that statement actually is. Surrounding Perry, Obama, or nearly any politician of profile are numerous people carrying concealed weapons. How in the world do they maintain control over their weapons? Obviously, they can (and do).

I agree. Again, an inability to reason. That, or a deliberate attempt to mislead those who dont have the ability to reason.

I think you just nailed it.

The way that one's worded, I would say more the later than the former...

Davey · August 19, 2011 at 05:45 PM

It's one thing for him to make the case for concealed carry permits, but it's another thing altogether if he's actually carrying as a candidate ... it's strange and it's reckless.

Urge...to...punch puppies.INCREASING!!!

all i hear when i read that is: mmmmm guns are bad m'kay.......

how does this person maintain control of his wallet (or purse if its a woman) house keys and car keys in a crowd?

Silver Guardian · August 20, 2011 at 12:10 AM

I wonder how they would feel about my previous carrying in Disneyworld.

Pyre.....

What a great statement dude! This should be the definition of the MSM as well. Main stream media: A large media organization who's goal is to deliberately mislead those who don't have the ability to rationally reason.

I tip my hat to you sir!

I come to this post Daily and still laugh at Davey's response. You cant come up with a better response for #3

Exactly. Hitting the nail on the head.
