U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Marietta) was on MSNBC Monday to discuss those who have brought guns to health care town hall meetings with host Chris Matthews and U.S Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Nashville).
According to a transcript posted by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Gingrey said: "If they have the right to do that, I have no fear of it. And I’ve had already five town hall meetings, I have six more planned. I don’t plan on wearing a bulletproof vest, in fact, I usually get standing ovations."

Yesterday we had freedomlover, the right wing troll, to deal with for several hours and today it was libertas, Goddess of Freedom trolling for the right. It appears we did not give her enough water to float her boat and she gave up. This is getting to be fun.
So please, clean up your act.
I would hated to see some of the parks that they run put under a private for profit. Seams like GA tried to do that with some of the state parks and that did not work out so well for the public.
Sorry I've tired some of this Jesus cool aid before and it did not sit well. But I think that had more to do with who was handing it out.
But hey I'm some crack pot liberal that should have no rights in this country as I do not pray to the correct god (lower case on purpose), have a dislike for a purely capitalistic society, and believe the federal gov. should work to the benefit of all in the society and not just a chosen few.
The 575 in Washington can not be a one size fits all for us. They can't even make minorities happy. Thats why poor stays poor and the schools are so pitiful.
Churches/religion/politics not a good mixture and is the reason you where failed 50 years ago. This stuff did not start with Obama or Bush.
Try Jesus. He has good news for you the individual as well.
If gahalls should find himself near an American Muslim of Middle-eastern descent with a semi-automatic rifle going to a mosque he would forget about the second amendment, all he would think about is Quilted Northern.
Hypothetical: American Muslim of Middle-eastern descent brings semi-automatic rifle to mosque for call to prayer.
Protected by the 2nd?
The federal level??? The constitution sets the base line. Your way of thinking is why we keep changing the base level and growing an ever too powerful federal government who does not have the ability to sustain itself. Listen to the politicians contridict them selves constantly and then change the titles and talking points.
9th and 10th compliment each other and drive the point home clearly that it's purpose is to limit government from playing social engineering games.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
The tenth amendment, first phrase "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution"
given that the second amendment is part of this document that you like to wave like a flag it does look like it falls under the federal government.
And do not forget the 9th amendment "Protection of rights not specifically enumerated in the Bill of Rights." which I think almost contradicts the 10th in a way because it gives the federal government the right to protect from infringement of life, liberty, and property.
I do believe that the federal level should set the base line for most laws and regulations and if a state wishes to be more stringent then they should be allowed to do so as long as it does not violate the bill of rights.
I'll be sure to watch out for that errand garbage truck :-)
81jeep - gahalls is stuck on the 10th amendment and since I told him that it might have outlived its usefulness he claims I hate the constitution and everything this country stands for so, be careful what you say here.
I think he works for the county and he might try to run over you with his garbage truck.
