Remember last November when Paul Anthony Ciancia<\/a> took his scary black gun in the Los Angeles airport and shot up the place? He killed one TSA agent and wounded two others. I guess that wasn’t on the mind of Peter Nathan Steinmetz<\/a> when he made his “political statement” on July 25th when he strolled around Phoenix’s main airport with his scary black gun;<\/p>\n

“I am a peaceful political activist and my purpose in walking around the airport with my AR-15 rifle was entirely political in nature,” Steinmetz said at a news conference with his attorney. “I am also an educated and responsible gun owner. … As I was making this political statement, I was careful not to disturb or endanger anyone.<\/p>\n

“At all times, I was extremely careful to ensure my firearm was never pointed at anyone. … The safety was engaged at all times,” Steinmetz said.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

“I believe I have now made the important point that peaceful and responsible people can safely be trusted to handle firearms \u2014 even AR-15s, even at the airport,” Steinmetz said. “There is never anything to fear from peaceful, responsible gun owners.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The only thing I get from Steinmetz is that he’s another of those attention whores who push the limits of common sense. I carry a gun when I go to the airport, too, but I carry it concealed. Funny thing is, while I’m carrying my weapon concealed, no one is frightened by my presence, either. I know these morons think that they’re helping, but they’re really not.<\/p>\n

By the way, I noticed that Open Carry Texas is following us on Twitter – *waves*.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
