The New Mexico Independent Debates Issue of Guns at Town Hall Rallies

V.B. Price is just the latest of authors of editorials to jump to conclusions. Writing for The New Mexico Independent, he says:

“If loyal members of the NRA carry loaded guns into public political meetings and town halls, should loyal members of the ACLU carry loaded guns to the same gatherings?”

First, he immediately implies that those bringing firearms are members of the NRA, but this has never been proven. Second, he claims these are “loaded guns,” a claim made by many in the mainstream media. Maybe someone should ask if these guns are in fact “loaded.” Next he makes this claim:

“Gun carrying in any public setting is a provocation.”

Is that true? As we’ve pointed out previously, no one has actually opened fire. And while we are Firearmsturth.com don’t think people should bring firearms to town hall meetings, clearly the fact is there that responsible people can carry guns and no one gets shot.
