re: #223 shala

All I’m saying is—ODS is real just like BDS is/was, and there’s no reason not to watch out for and tamp down on things which have a real chance of getting out of hand. The threat levels might be equal right now, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t very high.

Just so.

I don’t recall people showing up with loaded firearms at presidential events during the Bush years.

It takes one person with a gun, and we have a history of presidential assassinations. Some people are really, really worked up about Obama, and they tend to be the sort who are also well armed. Most of the folks who really hated Bush probably never held a firearm in their lives.
