Mr. Noble said four or five law officers, plus a police dog, descended on him after somebody reported that he was wearing a pistol on his hip. He said they held him for 40 minutes in a Secret Service vehicle, then took him to the Beaver barracks of the state police for questioning. After being cuffed and shackled, he said, police eventually read him his rights. They also confiscated his pistol.
So much for "shall not be infringed" (that's OK--we're told that's a concept to be put down and ridiculed anyway).
Mr. Obama doesn't trump my constitutional rights. The president of the United States doesn't trump my constitutional rights...
I am reminded of the last dialog exchange in the opening sequence to each episode of "The Prisoner":
"I am not a number — I am a free man!"And as long as we're laughing:
(Laughter from Number Two.)
Mr. Noble said he had not decided whether to support Mr. Obama...Good grief.

He just said that because it is supposed to be "enlightened" to be undecided.
Can't lay this on Obama, though I'm sure he agrees with it. This is just a cop thing.
"We attack peaceful citizens who are not breaking the law, then we charge them the vaguest most foggy charges we can find to protect our shared asses.
See we know we are wrong, but this is so much safer for us and it makes other fear us and we get erections from the power."
I think it is in their brotherhood of blue pledge.
When Bush -- and McCain and Palin -- visited our troops, you'd think with all those armed Americans around they'd be in the safest place they could be. Nope. The memo goes out from command -- no magazines, no bolt carriers, no firing pins. Why have firearms visible at all? Because if they didn't, the people would wonder. The layman may not notice the empty mag well. German and Polish Jews, unfamiliar with the gun culture, were often guarded in the camps by a soldier with a bolt-action rifle with an empty chamber that he probably could never have brought into action if they decided to mob him. John Ross has a character point this out in "Unintended Consequences." He sees a photo years later and almost has a stroke. If they had realized...
Was it Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Indians who said "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever"?
That was pretty much the end of Indians as a race and a culture.
