Judge it!
Nobody seems to want to mention that the man open-carrying the AR-15 was behaving in a calm, non-threatening, diplomatic manner even when confronted by police and fellow citizens.
This just goes to show how irrationally fearful the press and mainstream America is of firearms - a well-dressed black man would be non-threatening to just about everyone, but add a black piece of metal and polymer and suddenly he's a deranged lunatic in all but action? We seem to be suffering from collective hoplophobia, cultivated by politicians and media execs who know nothing about guns, outside of what they see on the news.
Man carrying assault weapon attends Obama protest
Full story: Santa Cruz Sentinel
About a dozen people carrying guns, including one with a military-style rifle, milled among protesters outside the convention center where President Barack Obama was giving a speech Monday - the latest incident in which protesters have openly displayed firearms near the president.

Daily Horoscope for December 23
Libra
Someone is shooting from the hip today, making them irascible and all too liable to fly off the handle. Be very wary about provoking them into further outbursts, particularly where the vexed topics of money and sex are concerned. If you're trying to sort out a financial problem you will also be prone to losing your rag and banging your fist on the table. But will that help?
