"..bla, bla, bla.. don't know nothing bout guns or laws.. bla, bla, bla"
Yeah well apparently neither do you, or did you miss the part of being within federal jurisdiction, not state.
So let's just back the crazy train back a bit here.
Liberal pundit who starts off saying he knows nothing about guns or gun laws says this must be illegal because of the "federal zone" or whatever..
Then you jump to his defence with just as much knowlage.
Let's look at facts here:
Under 18 USC 3056, the Secret Service sets up areas designated as National Security Events. They establish a perimeter, search all those entering, and keep a watch on the areas outside the event as well. Within that perimeter around the POTUS, the Federal authority overrides state/local laws. OUTSIDE the perimeter, state and local laws apply.
These people were well within their rights and that's why they were not arrested. Since so many are unaware of these rights, it's obvious that they should be excercised more so more people will become aware of them.
