Glenn Reynolds: nothing wrong with taking a gun to a presidential event.

Really, what an asshole.

Compare that post to the extremely reasonable Allahpundit at HotAir.

Considering the lengths to which the Secret Service normally goes to investigate threats against the president, I’m amazed he wasn’t hauled in for questioning at the scene as a potential threat. People are going to beat the Second Amendment drum in the comments, but (a) I doubt it would have sat well with our readers if lefties carrying Bushitler signs had shown up to Dubya’s events packing heat and (b) having a right doesn’t mean you’re obliged to exercise it, particularly in circumstances where it would be provocative to do so.

Allahpundit also notes that death threats against 400% higher than they were against George W. Bush.
