Larry Flynt: We The People? God Help Up!

Who are these nutjobs? I’m talking about those American citizens who have shown up at town hall meetings, including gatherings with the President of the United States in attendance, packing guns. And not just handguns—although that would be bad enough—but semiautomatic rifles as well.

We all agree that Americans should have free speech, due process and the right to bear arms. In fact, we demand it. But showing up at town hall meetings with weapons is equivalent to yelling fire in a crowded theater. These people, whoever they are, wherever they come from, embarrass us in front of the entire world. You don’t need guns to petition for redress. Whether these loons come from the left or the right, they must all be repudiated—by the media, by our politicians and by the overwhelming majority of citizens. Let the world know not all of us are crazy.
