Inflammatory

<a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/ARMED_BIKERS?SITE=MTBIL&SECTION=US&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT">S.D. allows bikers to carry weapons</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>A recent shooting spree between motorcycle gangs in Custer State Park has authorities on edge as they patrol the often heavily armed bikers who carry their weapons legally.</blockquote><br />n<br />nThis headline sounds really bad. People just carry guns willy-nilly. Then you read the story more.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>South Dakota law allows people with permits to carry concealed weapons nearly everywhere except bars, courthouses and the Capitol. Violators face up to one year in jail and $2,000 fines.<br />n<br />nMotorcycle gang members carrying concealed handguns are stopped daily during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which draws throngs of bikers and others to the Black Hills each August, Joffer said.<br />n <br />nNearly all those stopped have the necessary permits that allow them to carry hidden handguns, he added.</blockquote><br />n<br />nSo, you have people following the law and having the necessary permits to carry handguns legally but you headline the story "S.D. allows bikers to carry weapons." Awful inflammatory if you ask me. What's wrong with people following the law and having permits to carry guns? I guess we know AP's and the reporters fellings on the 2nd Amendment.
