Not that bad of an article, really. I didn't see a huge slant in any direction, which is surprising from MSNBC.

 

[Mr_Willson]

"you should not carry guns near the president!" one of the comments on the poll says...
wow, is this guy serious?

wow. the 2nd amendment foundation guy seemed almost like he was anti. LOL

I love how they freak out that the guns are "loaded."

They ask why would you need it at a rally?

Self-defense.

No way.

then they say someone could attack you and take the weapon. Well ****, if I could be attacked , I definitely want a gun. LOL

 

[Gus McCrae]

They are looking for a crack in the foundation of the pro-gun rights movement.

But the Brady Campaign’s Helmke has a different take. “They’re showing the rest of the country how weak our gun laws are,” he said. “When you open-carry, you don’t have a permit, no one has checked you out, you don’t have to go through any training in a lot of places. You can carry a .50-caliber sniper rifle down the street. When folks see that, then maybe they’ll wake up to the fact that we really don’t have many laws on the books with regard to guns.”

So, when you open carry a weapon you've legally purchased, NO ONE has done an FBI/NCIS background check on you? Because, when I purchased my gun, I had to go through a background check to make sure I wasnt a felon or a crazy...

Not if you bought from a private seller.

If seen threads where members of the 2nd Admendment Foundation were writing in and canceling their membership after reading that.
This debate isn't new. Heck, the OCDO vs BS flamefests are a good example.

To be fair, alot of people over here didn't have a problem with OCDO. It was just MEM and the MEMonites.
