Hey, I just saw this article on CNN about people protesting Obama while carrying openly. Awesome!! I love how the gentleman with the AR-15 is black, too—if he were white, the anti-gun CNN would call him a racist or some B.S. like that to be protesting Obama while armed. Of course CNN wrote "bullet clip", once again demonstrating their ignorance of proper firearms terminology. Furthermore, they described the rifle as an "assault rifle" which is almost certainly inaccurate, as it's highly unlikely that the fellow was toting a real machinegun. It is improper by definition to refer to a semi-automatic rifle an "assault rifle". Civilian-legal M16s run well over $20k because of the 1986 machinegun ban, which would be a lot to be carrying around in public. From the picture and video, the rifle looks like a slab-side (no forward assist), which is a rarity for civvie M16s. It also looks like a flat-top (the carry handle is obscured), which only showed up in later models like the M4, and it would definitely be semi-auto if so. Point being, get it right, CNN! You suck!

The guy has an EOTech holosight on his AR-15's front handguard rail. Sweet! Maybe Obama could come to Rochester so we could give him an armed protest also, haha! Well, I'm pretty sure it's not legal to carry long arms in public here, but we could do handguns—with the appropriate permit to carry, of course.
