and then was taken to jail for illegally open-carrying a firearm in a public building.

I thought conservatives were not fans of gun free zones? Why are you rooting for him going to jail?

Where are the people rooting for him going to jail?

/u/Blamemeta and notthebee for starters.

It sounds like he was exercising his 2nd Amendment rights. The location of that exercise as inside a building probably should've been reconsidered. Otherwise, what did he do wrong?

Don't you just love how easy it is to get a gun in this country?

Funny how it's always a Democrat and never a NRA member....

If you want to deal with terrorism, the place to start is the right wing.

Those two aren't mutually exclusive. And sometimes it is a republican and sometimes it is an nra member.

[–] Tsavo43 -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wrong. Check your facts, a mass murder has never been committed by an NRA member.

Whether they have or not is irrelevant to the persons political party though.
