Jesus_lol Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 now you are just being difficult. they obviously werent giving speeches when they were killed. it doesnt take a smart mind to figure out what message, and intent you mean to convey when you show up armed near a president you disagree with.

[/quote] Kennedy was sniped. You would have to disarm the entire populace to avoid that. Maybe you're fine with that, but I am not. Anyone who is cunning, motivated, and has means could assassinate a political leader. Being a target is part of the job description. Half of America doesn't like you. Every candidate knows that, even someone who claims to be a 'unifier'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Just because you can do something, doesnt mean there aren't cases where you really shouldn't. It shows extremely bad taste to show up armed to a debate or speech. through either a desire to suppress free speech or intimidate people who think differently than you through a show of force, rather than actual reasoned discourse. what is this? Rwanda? or like Iraq, where people feared for their lives going to vote?
