More people who decided to publicly enjoy both their First and Second Amendment rights

Another free citizen decides to openly carry his firearms outside of a President Obama campaign rally to save his socialized medicine scheme appearance, this time at the VFW convention in Phoenix, Arizona (the metro area where the Muckraker is currently headquartered).

This time, though, this latest person, who is seen boldly carrying an AR-15 rifle as well as a handgun (actions which are perfectly legal under Arizona law), is a well-dressed man who happens to be black. This fact apparently causes the talking heads at CNN no small amount of consternation when they discuss the incident because, although they try mightily, they just can't seem to find a convenient and PC way to casually dismiss the man as some kind of nut, as Chris Matthews of MSNBC shamefully attempted to do to New Hampshire resident William Kostric last week:





He wasn't the only one doing so, as the CNN reporter present at the scene notes. In fact, news reports estimate that upwards of a dozen law-abiding people were peaceably openly carrying firearms in the crowd. Total number of problems or arrests resulting from their doing so: Zero.

"Because I can do it," [the man] said when asked why he was armed [at today's protest]. "In Arizona, I still have some freedoms."

Well put, sir. Very well put.
