Surprisingly, some people had a problem with this...
CONCORD — A man was arrested and two people,
including a Concord police officer, were allegedly assaulted during a
rally Tuesday in a clash between a gun control group and gun rights
supporters.
The event had people supporting the Mayors Against
Illegal Guns movement, founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg,
reading the names of those "killed with guns" since the Dec. 14
shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary outside their "No More Names" bus.[...]
The presence of the national
gun control group in front of the state Capitol Tuesday night prompted
numerous shouts from gun rights supporters. While there were about 40 No
More Names supporters, there were at least 60 gun rights supporters at
the rally.
"I
think this is a joke," said Tony Mayfield of Hillsborough, who brought
his AR-15 rifle and Sig Sauer T39 handgun to the rally. "We have, for
all intents and purposes, a corporation from out of state doing this
little publicity stunt here."
Rally
organizers, whose bus had Texas license plates, refused to speak to a
New Hampshire Union Leader reporter and referred him to the
organization's national headquarters.
Some of the loudest shouts
came when a reader spoke the name of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the
Boston Marathon bombing suspects who was killed by police during a
gunfight.
"He's a terrorist," several protesters shouted. Read more here...
