GOP asked tech founder, ex-fugitive McAfee to diagnose Obamacare
House Republicans asked U.S. anti-virus software pioneer John McAfee for his guidance on the troubled launch of Obamacare, CNBC has learned.
Oct. 21, 2013
The House committee responsible for Obamacare oversight asked for expert guidance last week about the troubled launch of the federal Healthcare.gov site from John McAfee, the tech legend once suspected in the murder of his neighbor in Central America, CNBC has learned.
That Republican-controlled committee wanted the McAfee Associates founder to "guide our oversight and review of" the implementation of the federal marketplace selling Obamacare insurance, according to an email obtained by CNBC.com.
The committee suggested that McAfee might discuss the technologically botched rollout with members of Congress.
McAfee made $100 million from the 2004 sale of his former company, which still sells the widely used McAfee antivirus software. He later began investing in the housing market and lost much of his fortune in the 2008 housing crash.
Last year, he made international headlines when he went on the lam in Central America after Greg Faull, his neighbor in Belize, was found dead from a bullet in his head sometime after confronting McAfee about his barking dogs. McAfee later was detained in Guatemala, and eventually deported to the U.S. without being charged in the murder, which he denies committing.
Last week, he was approached by a key congressional staffer, Sean Hayes, counsel with the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, about sharing his expertise in an inquiry into what has gone wrong with HealthCare.gov.
"This is the Committee of jurisdiction for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (or Obamacare)," Hayes wrote in an Oct. 14 email to McAfee's lawyer, Francois Garcia. "For three years we have been monitoring the implementation of the law and have been trying to dig into what has happened with the Exchange rollout."
"Given the failures of Healthcare.gov, and Mr. McAfee's expertise, I was hoping he might be able to discuss his views with staff on the hill," Hayes wrote. "It would be an informal discussion: we would take notes but these would not be for attribution, it would mainly guide our oversight and review of the program."

>> this is an amazing story. you will think i'm making parts of this story up for effect. this is the actual story and it ends in washington today in a way you're not going to believe. but just trust me, just sit down a moment. this is an amazing story. for a very long time, there was one really annoying down side to buying a new computer. so on the one hand, you're getting a new computer. getting rid of your old clunker, everything's going to work faster. new computers for a very long time always came with that freaking terrible preinstalled virus soft war. mcafee . it was always installed in some 30-day free trial, like they were doing you a favor and you were going to want to pay for it thereafter. it was super annoying, it made your computer run really slow, it stopped you from being able to do things you want to do. it didn't actually stop me from getting viruses. there was no way to get away from it. if you wanted to say no, don't do this to me, i reject the 30-day free trial, you kind of were not allowed. i think mostly they have grown out of it because people hate it. it's just terrible software. it's pointless. it does not work. the guy who started that business is named john mcafee . he did invent the world's first commercial anti-virus software. and whether or not it was that annoying and pointless when he first invented it or whether it slowly became that anoning and pointless over time , the reason it's named mcafee because it's named after this guy john mcafee . he sold that company for something like $100 million in 2004 . and thereafter he became a full-time gonzo playboy media figure. he cultivated this very friendly idea of being an outlaw eccentric millionaire. he got lots of action from the outdoor extreme sports world for something he called his sky gypsies. aero trucking, which is basically riding hang gliders with fast motors attached. it's very dangerous, it's john mcafee , he's an eccentric millionaire. he had real estate holdings all over the country, colorado, wyoming, he had a big swathe of property in hawaii. he told most of it in 2007 or 2008 and he then moved to belize . all the while doing lots of eccentric zillion air millionaires. he reported on his epic history of drug use , cocaine by the ton, way lose, lsd, a bottle of scotch a night. something called dmt. i don't know what that is. the drug bragging produced lines like this, quote, he would drop acid in the morning and go to work. one morning he decided to experiment with another psychedelic called dmt, he decided to snorlt a whole bag and within an hour my mind was shattered. he ended up behind a garbage can in downtown st. louis hearing voices and desperately hoping that nobody would look at him. he went back to work. part of him believes he's still on that trip. one day he will snap out of it and find himself back on his couch in st. louis listening to pink floyd 's dark side of the moon . it has just been one giant drug trip, you guys? i swear this ends up back in washington . so john mcafee would tell the drug stories and all the eccentric zillionare stuff. he made himself into an irresistible story. he also insisted to reporters that would follow him around that he didn't use drugs him. the reason he had moved to belize is not because he was running from anything or because he had any self-interested idea down there, but because he was going to invent a whole new approach to antibiotics which he was working on with a scientist/wait tres/guitar player whom he had met at a local resort. the fast company profiled mr. mcafee followed him around for a long time in belize , trying to figure out his belize rain fore fore forest antibiotic business plan . ultimately in april of last year, mr. mcafee 's compound in belize was raided by local authorities and he was arrested on weapons charges. him being arrested sparks a new round of media interest of course which lets the 66-year-old mr. mcafee gleefully tell reporters that he was in bed with his 17-year-old girlfriend and stark naked at the time of his arrest. reporters invited down to his compound report that he seems to be living with not just one 17-year-old girlfriend but with a collection of five girlfriends, all of whom seem to be teeng agers. he has wired magazines shoot portraits of him and some half his various girlfriends and shows off the collection of the whole sort of group of girlfriends he lives with, plus his body guards, plus some of the weapons plus some of his dogs, and if dogs end up being key to what happens next in the john mcafee story. his neighbor in belize is an american citizen named greg fall. mr. fall had filed a formal complaint about aggression and noise from mr. mcafee 's 11 dogs who apparently roamed free. the same week, that kprancomplaint about the dogs was filed with the town, john mcafee told american reporters that somebody had poisoned his dogs, that same week, the neighbor who filed a complaint against him was found dead. he had been shot in the back of the head and a casing from a 9 millimeter handgun was found nearby. john mcafee took off. blogging all the the way about how he was fleeing the country. so there's not only the record of his blog posts about it and his selfie photos of him on the run, there's also footage, video footage about what live was like for him while he was fleeing that murder inquiry in belize . and the reason that footage is available is that he had vice magazine fleeing with him. so we know for example which of his teenaged girlfriends he chose to bring him on his flight from justice. he also did things like pretending to be a spokesman for himself and lying about his country.
>> mr. mcafee has been arrested just across the border of belize in the country. write that down.
>> that was him speaking about himself in the third person. and that was a lie. but hi likes lying. he thinks of himself as a trickster, as part of the eccentric charm. so he likes lying even when he's fleeing from a murder inquiry. he did get arrested in quality mall la and after a brief effort to try to get asylum somewhere, he got deported to his native country which is the united states and he still had not been formally charged in conjunction with that murder of a u.s. citizen in belize and because he hasn't been charged, he therefore is free to do more talking to the press.
>> so is mcafee a successful entrepreneur who went mad while living in the jungle and surrounded himself by guns and became paranoid and killed his neighbor? or is he the potential savior of america or did he just act out the greatest mind [ bleep ] of all time.
>> that was from a bbc profile which ran earlier this year and the bbc sent somebody to john mcafee 's house in portland, oregon to talk about what he's been going since the murder. john mcafee had other things he wanted to talk to the bbc about.
>> time and time again, i tried to ask him what happened. but mcafee kept reporting to his number one talking, his sexual prowess.
>> people ask me, did you really sleep with ten 17-year-old girls and you're a 67-year-old man? yes, i did. no sense in saying no. no sense in dancing around it. you have to tell the truth now.
>> this is where the house republicans come in. that's the story of john mcafee , meanwhile in washington , republican congress just -- the new " washington post " polling just out today on the shutdown is just terrible, terrible for the republicans by a huge mar squlin, the country blames themselves for the shutdown. has a lower opinion of the republican party than as ever been measured before. has a lower opinion of the tea party than has everybody been measured before. when you ask someone who they think of the government shutdown , 80% of americans think it was a terrible idea. a majority of independents say they hate it. a majority of republicans say they hate it, even a majority of people who say they identify with the tea party say they hate it. so yes, ted cruz has found a reuss in texas in which he can get standing ovations. and republicans are telling each other in which this all went great. ann coulter told sean hannity that the shutdown was, and i quote, magnificent. but back on earth, most republicans even realized that what they just did was really bad. and they've got a big problem because of it. it seems like republicans ' idea is to try to retroactively refocus the shutdown on obama care, after the fact. in reality, once they shut down the government and they were going to hit the debt ceiling. once the government was shut down, they forkt it was all about obama care and now they make it about a all sorts of things. now they want to go brack back to it being about became care. and this is where the stories come together. because cnbc obtained e-mails today from the staff of that republican ledover sight committee in the house. e-mails from them, soliciting an expert, a computer machine expert to come to washington and advise the committee. the expert they invited to washington to tell them what's wrong with obama care and how to fix it, is seriously, yes, i swear.
>> people ask me, did you really sleep with ten 17-year-old girls and you're a 67-year-old man? yes, i did.
>> and the republicans in the house would like to talk to you about that, sir, you are their chosenexpe expert. the republicans in house asked if mr. mcafee was available to come to washington in person for the committee's obama care hearings, to, quote, guide our oversight and review of the program. this would hopefully not be a heavy lift for him. what advice generally does he have? ta-d ta-dah, mr. mack after fee gleefully provided those e-mail e-mails. reasons tried to salvage some kind of win, based on how that party handled obama care. this is how roans would be handling obama care. joins us now the frank rich , his writer at large from new york magazine. mr. rich, it is wonderful to have you here, thank you for being here.
>> you've been writing about the fever of obama care and the fever of the attempted obama care defunding repeal shutdown. did the theater just become pg-13?
>> what amazes me about john mcafee is why he didn't run for president. he would have fit right in with trump and cane and a all sorts of things. it is kind of insane, you know, congress, you were talking about how bad the republican approval ratings are. and congress as a whole is down to 12%. which i think is the worst in history.
>> after the 95 shutdown, people talk about how legend darely people were hated. it was over 30% then.
>> we're now a third of that poor level. this could get -- if he came, it would give people an excuse to 250u7b in and i guess a lot of 17-year-old women would be enrolled in obama care very fast if he was in charge. but --
>> let me ask you about the sort of -- the two different parts of america in terms of viewing how the shutdown went. actually, the reason why i included the ann coulter line, the reason the shutdown was a success and obama care is so hated that america is cheering for the ted cruzs of the world for having set it down. and if you live in that bubble, i have to show you, john mcafee has been on the fox news channel as a cited fox news expert on obama care. i just want to show you this little clip.
>> you could even lose your life savings if you do sign up. john mcafee is a computer programmer and founder of the mcafee computer software company, good to see you. how does someone lose their life savings by signing up for obama care?
>> let's ask him. is it possible that you just don't google the guy, you see him on fox, and you assume, in my universe he's an expert, let's bring him to washington .
>> you're in the bubble of fox and the companion if not directly affiliated radio talk show hosts during the day, you can put together a whole day, just as you put together a whole day of watching sports you can do a whole day of listening to the same stuff over and over again, often angrier than it even is on fox. furthermore you're probably represented in most cases by a congressman or woman who is in a safe district and says the same stuff and then feels heroic about shutting the government down because the whole point of this movement is they're against the government. of course they want to shut it down, and this is patriotic, we're upholding the constitution to get off our back.
>> we're talking about the parallel existences that really on the right there isn't a parallel on the left. you can't live entirely in a left media bubble. you can see a lot of liberals on tv. but there isn't a talk media universe that is hived off from the rest of the world in the way the conservatives are. we have been talking about that for a long time now, for four or five years now. i'm just wondering if the shutdown puts more pressure on the bubble than has ever been put on it before because the disillusionment is that the bubble can't with stand knowledge of that for very long.
>> i'm not sure about that, because it's sort of a liberal belief or a hope that maybe these rebel revolutionaries or whatever you want to call them, the radical right will learn from humiliating defeats that the shutdown was, but look at the goldwater campaign in 1964 . everyone thought the republican party was dead, it was the biggest land slide defeat in history and yet two years later, ronald reagan was elected governor of california and the bubble just kept going in a different media atmosphere than we have now. this is why ted cruz can go to texas and be cheered and hear what he wants to hear and he's, you know, he's in washington , you would think he would hear something else. but i think he's confident that his cohort will remaining faithful and not be penetrated by reality.
>> the criticism has been made from the right of the right that it is a party that only wants to be in the minority, it's a party that actually resents it's majority status in the house, prefers to be an insurgency so they can be pure without having to take the responsibility that you have to take for being in charge of something. i wonder if they would sort of bask in a goldwateresque defeat. because they could be perfect and uncompromising.
>> i think we have seen it in reaction to the romney defeat. it is really in pli view the majority of the party. people say it's just a fringe, it's not a fringe. that is the base of the republican party . and their reaction to romney's defeat was he wasn't right wing enough. he was the problem, they're not the problem.

Rally at the Alamo Will Call on Texans to Raise Their Rifles High
October 14, 2013
Hundreds of armed demonstrators are planning to converge at the Alamo in San Antonio on Saturday to test the limits of the gun laws in one of the most gun-friendly states in the country, by openly carrying their shotguns, assault weapons and other types of rifles in public.
Organizers of the rally — a flier declares “Get your guns & Head to San Antonio” — said they were planning a peaceful event. But the demonstration, intended to both celebrate the state’s gun culture and challenge it, has concerned officials. Amid a heavy police presence, more than 1,000 men and women carrying loaded rifles over their shoulders are expected to assemble at the site of the historic gun battle in one of the busiest sections of downtown.
Gun advocates say they have a simple goal — to remind ordinary citizens and law enforcement officials that they are allowed in Texas to legally and openly carry what are known as “long guns,” including shotguns and assault rifles.
In the world of Texas gun rights, size counts.

>> this is an amazing story. you will think i'm making parts of this story up for effect. this is the actual story and it ends in washington today in a way you're not going to believe. but just trust me, just sit down a moment. this is an amazing story. for a very long time, there was one really annoying down side to buying a new computer. so on the one hand, you're getting a new computer. getting rid of your old clunker, everything's going to work faster. new computers for a very long time always came with that freaking terrible preinstalled virus soft war. mcafee . it was always installed in some 30-day free trial, like they were doing you a favor and you were going to want to pay for it thereafter. it was super annoying, it made your computer run really slow, it stopped you from being able to do things you want to do. it didn't actually stop me from getting viruses. there was no way to get away from it. if you wanted to say no, don't do this to me, i reject the 30-day free trial, you kind of were not allowed. i think mostly they have grown out of it because people hate it. it's just terrible software. it's pointless. it does not work. the guy who started that business is named john mcafee . he did invent the world's first commercial anti-virus software. and whether or not it was that annoying and pointless when he first invented it or whether it slowly became that anoning and pointless over time , the reason it's named mcafee because it's named after this guy john mcafee . he sold that company for something like $100 million in 2004 . and thereafter he became a full-time gonzo playboy media figure. he cultivated this very friendly idea of being an outlaw eccentric millionaire. he got lots of action from the outdoor extreme sports world for something he called his sky gypsies. aero trucking, which is basically riding hang gliders with fast motors attached. it's very dangerous, it's john mcafee , he's an eccentric millionaire. he had real estate holdings all over the country, colorado, wyoming, he had a big swathe of property in hawaii. he told most of it in 2007 or 2008 and he then moved to belize . all the while doing lots of eccentric zillion air millionaires. he reported on his epic history of drug use , cocaine by the ton, way lose, lsd, a bottle of scotch a night. something called dmt. i don't know what that is. the drug bragging produced lines like this, quote, he would drop acid in the morning and go to work. one morning he decided to experiment with another psychedelic called dmt, he decided to snorlt a whole bag and within an hour my mind was shattered. he ended up behind a garbage can in downtown st. louis hearing voices and desperately hoping that nobody would look at him. he went back to work. part of him believes he's still on that trip. one day he will snap out of it and find himself back on his couch in st. louis listening to pink floyd 's dark side of the moon . it has just been one giant drug trip, you guys? i swear this ends up back in washington . so john mcafee would tell the drug stories and all the eccentric zillionare stuff. he made himself into an irresistible story. he also insisted to reporters that would follow him around that he didn't use drugs him. the reason he had moved to belize is not because he was running from anything or because he had any self-interested idea down there, but because he was going to invent a whole new approach to antibiotics which he was working on with a scientist/wait tres/guitar player whom he had met at a local resort. the fast company profiled mr. mcafee followed him around for a long time in belize , trying to figure out his belize rain fore fore forest antibiotic business plan . ultimately in april of last year, mr. mcafee 's compound in belize was raided by local authorities and he was arrested on weapons charges. him being arrested sparks a new round of media interest of course which lets the 66-year-old mr. mcafee gleefully tell reporters that he was in bed with his 17-year-old girlfriend and stark naked at the time of his arrest. reporters invited down to his compound report that he seems to be living with not just one 17-year-old girlfriend but with a collection of five girlfriends, all of whom seem to be teeng agers. he has wired magazines shoot portraits of him and some half his various girlfriends and shows off the collection of the whole sort of group of girlfriends he lives with, plus his body guards, plus some of the weapons plus some of his dogs, and if dogs end up being key to what happens next in the john mcafee story. his neighbor in belize is an american citizen named greg fall. mr. fall had filed a formal complaint about aggression and noise from mr. mcafee 's 11 dogs who apparently roamed free. the same week, that kprancomplaint about the dogs was filed with the town, john mcafee told american reporters that somebody had poisoned his dogs, that same week, the neighbor who filed a complaint against him was found dead. he had been shot in the back of the head and a casing from a 9 millimeter handgun was found nearby. john mcafee took off. blogging all the the way about how he was fleeing the country. so there's not only the record of his blog posts about it and his selfie photos of him on the run, there's also footage, video footage about what live was like for him while he was fleeing that murder inquiry in belize . and the reason that footage is available is that he had vice magazine fleeing with him. so we know for example which of his teenaged girlfriends he chose to bring him on his flight from justice. he also did things like pretending to be a spokesman for himself and lying about his country.
>> mr. mcafee has been arrested just across the border of belize in the country. write that down.
>> that was him speaking about himself in the third person. and that was a lie. but hi likes lying. he thinks of himself as a trickster, as part of the eccentric charm. so he likes lying even when he's fleeing from a murder inquiry. he did get arrested in quality mall la and after a brief effort to try to get asylum somewhere, he got deported to his native country which is the united states and he still had not been formally charged in conjunction with that murder of a u.s. citizen in belize and because he hasn't been charged, he therefore is free to do more talking to the press.
>> so is mcafee a successful entrepreneur who went mad while living in the jungle and surrounded himself by guns and became paranoid and killed his neighbor? or is he the potential savior of america or did he just act out the greatest mind [ bleep ] of all time.
>> that was from a bbc profile which ran earlier this year and the bbc sent somebody to john mcafee 's house in portland, oregon to talk about what he's been going since the murder. john mcafee had other things he wanted to talk to the bbc about.
>> time and time again, i tried to ask him what happened. but mcafee kept reporting to his number one talking, his sexual prowess.
>> people ask me, did you really sleep with ten 17-year-old girls and you're a 67-year-old man? yes, i did. no sense in saying no. no sense in dancing around it. you have to tell the truth now.
>> this is where the house republicans come in. that's the story of john mcafee , meanwhile in washington , republican congress just -- the new " washington post " polling just out today on the shutdown is just terrible, terrible for the republicans by a huge mar squlin, the country blames themselves for the shutdown. has a lower opinion of the republican party than as ever been measured before. has a lower opinion of the tea party than has everybody been measured before. when you ask someone who they think of the government shutdown , 80% of americans think it was a terrible idea. a majority of independents say they hate it. a majority of republicans say they hate it, even a majority of people who say they identify with the tea party say they hate it. so yes, ted cruz has found a reuss in texas in which he can get standing ovations. and republicans are telling each other in which this all went great. ann coulter told sean hannity that the shutdown was, and i quote, magnificent. but back on earth, most republicans even realized that what they just did was really bad. and they've got a big problem because of it. it seems like republicans ' idea is to try to retroactively refocus the shutdown on obama care, after the fact. in reality, once they shut down the government and they were going to hit the debt ceiling. once the government was shut down, they forkt it was all about obama care and now they make it about a all sorts of things. now they want to go brack back to it being about became care. and this is where the stories come together. because cnbc obtained e-mails today from the staff of that republican ledover sight committee in the house. e-mails from them, soliciting an expert, a computer machine expert to come to washington and advise the committee. the expert they invited to washington to tell them what's wrong with obama care and how to fix it, is seriously, yes, i swear.
>> people ask me, did you really sleep with ten 17-year-old girls and you're a 67-year-old man? yes, i did.
>> and the republicans in the house would like to talk to you about that, sir, you are their chosenexpe expert. the republicans in house asked if mr. mcafee was available to come to washington in person for the committee's obama care hearings, to, quote, guide our oversight and review of the program. this would hopefully not be a heavy lift for him. what advice generally does he have? ta-d ta-dah, mr. mack after fee gleefully provided those e-mail e-mails. reasons tried to salvage some kind of win, based on how that party handled obama care. this is how roans would be handling obama care. joins us now the frank rich , his writer at large from new york magazine. mr. rich, it is wonderful to have you here, thank you for being here.
>> you've been writing about the fever of obama care and the fever of the attempted obama care defunding repeal shutdown. did the theater just become pg-13?
>> what amazes me about john mcafee is why he didn't run for president. he would have fit right in with trump and cane and a all sorts of things. it is kind of insane, you know, congress, you were talking about how bad the republican approval ratings are. and congress as a whole is down to 12%. which i think is the worst in history.
>> after the 95 shutdown, people talk about how legend darely people were hated. it was over 30% then.
>> we're now a third of that poor level. this could get -- if he came, it would give people an excuse to 250u7b in and i guess a lot of 17-year-old women would be enrolled in obama care very fast if he was in charge. but --
>> let me ask you about the sort of -- the two different parts of america in terms of viewing how the shutdown went. actually, the reason why i included the ann coulter line, the reason the shutdown was a success and obama care is so hated that america is cheering for the ted cruzs of the world for having set it down. and if you live in that bubble, i have to show you, john mcafee has been on the fox news channel as a cited fox news expert on obama care. i just want to show you this little clip.
>> you could even lose your life savings if you do sign up. john mcafee is a computer programmer and founder of the mcafee computer software company, good to see you. how does someone lose their life savings by signing up for obama care?
>> let's ask him. is it possible that you just don't google the guy, you see him on fox, and you assume, in my universe he's an expert, let's bring him to washington .
>> you're in the bubble of fox and the companion if not directly affiliated radio talk show hosts during the day, you can put together a whole day, just as you put together a whole day of watching sports you can do a whole day of listening to the same stuff over and over again, often angrier than it even is on fox. furthermore you're probably represented in most cases by a congressman or woman who is in a safe district and says the same stuff and then feels heroic about shutting the government down because the whole point of this movement is they're against the government. of course they want to shut it down, and this is patriotic, we're upholding the constitution to get off our back.
>> we're talking about the parallel existences that really on the right there isn't a parallel on the left. you can't live entirely in a left media bubble. you can see a lot of liberals on tv. but there isn't a talk media universe that is hived off from the rest of the world in the way the conservatives are. we have been talking about that for a long time now, for four or five years now. i'm just wondering if the shutdown puts more pressure on the bubble than has ever been put on it before because the disillusionment is that the bubble can't with stand knowledge of that for very long.
>> i'm not sure about that, because it's sort of a liberal belief or a hope that maybe these rebel revolutionaries or whatever you want to call them, the radical right will learn from humiliating defeats that the shutdown was, but look at the goldwater campaign in 1964 . everyone thought the republican party was dead, it was the biggest land slide defeat in history and yet two years later, ronald reagan was elected governor of california and the bubble just kept going in a different media atmosphere than we have now. this is why ted cruz can go to texas and be cheered and hear what he wants to hear and he's, you know, he's in washington , you would think he would hear something else. but i think he's confident that his cohort will remaining faithful and not be penetrated by reality.
>> the criticism has been made from the right of the right that it is a party that only wants to be in the minority, it's a party that actually resents it's majority status in the house, prefers to be an insurgency so they can be pure without having to take the responsibility that you have to take for being in charge of something. i wonder if they would sort of bask in a goldwateresque defeat. because they could be perfect and uncompromising.
>> i think we have seen it in reaction to the romney defeat. it is really in pli view the majority of the party. people say it's just a fringe, it's not a fringe. that is the base of the republican party . and their reaction to romney's defeat was he wasn't right wing enough. he was the problem, they're not the problem.

Rally at the Alamo Will Call on Texans to Raise Their Rifles High
October 14, 2013
Hundreds of armed demonstrators are planning to converge at the Alamo in San Antonio on Saturday to test the limits of the gun laws in one of the most gun-friendly states in the country, by openly carrying their shotguns, assault weapons and other types of rifles in public.
Organizers of the rally — a flier declares “Get your guns & Head to San Antonio” — said they were planning a peaceful event. But the demonstration, intended to both celebrate the state’s gun culture and challenge it, has concerned officials. Amid a heavy police presence, more than 1,000 men and women carrying loaded rifles over their shoulders are expected to assemble at the site of the historic gun battle in one of the busiest sections of downtown.
Gun advocates say they have a simple goal — to remind ordinary citizens and law enforcement officials that they are allowed in Texas to legally and openly carry what are known as “long guns,” including shotguns and assault rifles.
In the world of Texas gun rights, size counts.
