The security of the President is one of those times, as long as it is limited and focused. For example, disarming everyone in the same room as the President is legit. Disarming everyone in the same city (a-la-DC) as the President, is not. Face it, the Brady Campaign nuts would like nothing better than to have McAmnesty, Hiltery, or Barry With No Middle Name killed at a NRA convention. Think how that would re-energize gun-control. It was a good call on the SS part and was protective of the NRA and gun rights. I wish Barry With No Middle Name would have spoken. I think the NRA is too tied to Republicans. I know Barry With No Middle Name is an anti (member of the Board of the Joyce Foundation) but he could be brought over to our side slightly with some out-reach, or at least not make the issue a big part of his administration. I don't believe McAmnesty is a friend of gun owners. Anyone that advocates background checks doesn't understand the meaning of "shall not be infringed". Background checks require the innocent to prove they are not guilty, require Americans to surrender their privacy rights, and more troubling formally makes the government the determiner of who can bear arms or not.

I don’t believe McAmnesty is a friend of gun owners. Anyone that advocates background checks doesn’t understand the meaning of “shall not be infringed”. Background checks require the innocent to prove they are not guilty, require Americans to surrender their privacy rights, and more troubling formally makes the government the determiner of who can bear arms or not.

McCain can ask the SS folks to just GTFO at any time. I don't buy this "candidate must follow SS orders" line of crap. Fail.
