Paul Helmke: Professional...

...dick. I don't really have an opinion about the guy toting a pistol and AR at Obama's Town Hall in Arizona. That not true. I do have an opinion. I probably wouldn't have done it. I'd have carried my pistol concealed and left the rifle at home. It's provided propaganda to the enemy. We breathe and the enemy tries to use it as propaganda. It seems lately we give to to them and they step on their dicks. Case in point.

Paul Helmke, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said people should not be allowed to bring guns to events where Obama is.
"To me, this is craziness," he said. "When you bring a loaded gun, particularly a loaded assault rifle, to any political event, but particularly to one where the president is appearing, you're just making the situation dangerous for everyone."
He said people who bring guns to presidential events are distracting the Secret Service and law enforcement from protecting the president. "The more guns we see at more events like this, there's more potential for something tragic happening," he said.

Now wait for it...

Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said armed demonstrators in open-carry states such as Arizona and New Hampshire have little impact on security plans for the president.
"In both cases, the subject was not entering our site or otherwise attempting to," Donovan said. "They were in a designated public viewing area. The main thing to know is that they would not have been allowed inside with a weapon."

That's gotta hurt Paul.
