Police warn that there will be armed protesters at President Obama's town hall focusing on gun control. Yeah, I don't like this at all.

Students at George Mason University (GMU) have been notified that armed protesters may show up on campus ahead of President Obama’s town hall on gun control Thursday evening. 

In an email sent to the student body, university police Chief Thomas Longo said authorities were expecting protests ahead of the event. 

“Due to the sensitive nature of the topic, we will likely see protesters on campus — some of whom may be carrying weapons,” Longo said in the email obtained by The Washington Free Beacon. 

He reminded students that it is lawful to openly carry firearms in outdoor spaces on campus. 

“Please be advised that it is lawful to carry firearms in Virginia, and this includes at public outdoor spaces on our campus,” he said. 

“University police are aware of this and will have officers present to ensure that all protesters remain law-abiding and maintain the safety and well-being of Mason’s faculty, students and staff,” he continued.

Of course there will be no firearms allowed inside the building where the town hall is being held, and there will obviously be metal detectors and Secret Service there to protect the President, but this still still makes me incredibly nervous.

Let's face it these gun nuts are all kinds of unhinged, their rhetoric is almost unintelligible at this point, and it only takes one mistake for some 2nd Amendment nutjob to get inside and do something horrific to the man working night and day to keep us all safe.

Personally I would like to see a gun free zone around the President that extended for about a mile. And anyone caught with a gun would have their shiny metal penis extender taken away permanently and then would be locked up until the President was safely back at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

And so it begins, pockets of angry GOP groups calling for armed response if Obama wins a second term.

The Greene County, Virginia Republican Committee publishes a monthly newsletter for members called “The Constitutional Conservatives.” The newsletter is heavy on Tea Party rhetoric about how Obama and liberals are ruining America, and so forth. But even by these standards, an item in the March newsletter stands out.

This is what it states:

We have before us a challenge to remove an ideologue unlike anything world history has ever witnessed or recognized. 

An individual who has come to power within a Nation which yields it’s strength over the entire world. 

An elected leader who shuns biblical praise, handicaps economic ability, disrespects the honor of earned military might. 

In the coming days and weeks ~ we the people must come to grasp as a common force, our very soul’s, that our future as a sovereign nation is indeed at risk. 

If every single individual that you know, would contact 25 other individuals ~ we can make a difference that will be heard across the Commonwealth and in Washington. 

The ultimate task for the people is to remain vigilant and aware ~ that the government, their government is out of control, and this moment, this opportunity, must not be forsaken, must not escape us, for we shall not have any coarse but armed revolution should we fail with the power of the vote in November ~ This Republic cannot survive for 4 more years underneath this political socialist ideologue.

I have read the above statements a couple of times now and I essentially have NO idea what these people are so upset about.  To me it seems as if they are transferring the anger and fear they SHOULD have felt during the Bush administration to the Obama administration.

It is much easier to hate when his skin is the wrong color, and his name sounds so "un-American."

It is important to note, that this is NOT an isolated  point of view among many on the fringe of the Right Wing, and in fact the threat of an armed response against Federal employees is at the heart of the Schaeffer Cox trial taking place right now in Anchorage.

In fact the sovereign citizen idea is catching fire, and for all intents and purposes has essentially already taken over the Alaska GOP. (And yes I will soon have a post to back that up.)

I mentioned before that this next election cycle would be a war, and now we have to realize that it may in fact involve actual gun play.
