[QUOTE="flybeech, post: 2053177, member: 7557"] Cars were everywhere. The new library at MacArthur and 122nd parking lot was jammed packed! I was 6 minutes late and had to park in the street about two blocks away. The auditorium was standing room only overflowing into the halls. What a difference from the 30 or 40 people that's normal for a Lankford Town Hall. I was stoked for some action. I excused myself through a concerned-looking crowd to get a good spot. I was very interested in the Second Amendment discussions. Lankford will not take questions live and draws them from a bucket, as soon as he is ready to move on. I think he drew 3 or 4 gun questions from citizens concerned that they're coming for our guns. I think 3 questions drawn mentioned the Constitutional reason to keep and bear arms is to resist tyranny. Hunting, sporting and personal protection are just nice little bonuses. "What are you going to do to defend our Second Amendment rights, Congressman Lankford"? Representative Lankford answered that the rash of school shootings is just terrible and something must be done to ensure our safety. He has children too, you know. He said he is just as frightened his kids will be killed as we are. The best way to keep us safe cannot be decided with a knee-jerk reaction, these things take time, to protect the rights of hunters, sportsmen and self-defenders. Representative James Lankford said many times that he supports the Second Amendment right of Americans to keep and bear arms for hunting, sporting and self defense. He specifically ignored tyranny being the primary reason for the Second Amendment's existence, even when pressed. I came away feeling that Congressman James Lankford could easily be swayed into gun registration, restrictions or bans of semi-automatic everything, particularly so-called "assault weapons" and magazines. Rep. Lankford left me feeling he was very squishy on the Second Amendment. When I hear "hunters, sports shooters and self defense" is the reason the Second Amendment exists, I see rights going away.
