I could understand a congressman carrying a gun to a town hall meeting on health care — obviously for self-defense. But average people showing up with weapons? They must be Sheriff Palin's deputies.
Why guns at a meeting on health care? Men — haven't you heard? The government wants to take away your testosterone.
We saw openly armed citizens in Arizona in the crowd at an Obama town hall meeting. It would have been nice had they been scary looking Secret Service agents, but they weren't. Guns and health. "Throw out your public option and come out with your hands up!"
