>>A set up?<<

Maybe not this incident but I’d bet there will be a lot coming up. Those gun nutts are getting out of hand and something must be done....etc., etc.

The gun grabbers are going to get in high gear.

Any brave man with a rifle is a threat to a tyrant. That is why the zero wants to take them away.

Man has rifle and is near capital = threat to President.

Got it.

I’m sure Washington DC is so much cleaner and safer now!

Didn’t think they had gotten around to passing such legislation as of yet...

That's not a problem. Charge him under the soon to be passed laws, and when the congress passes them, simply include a provision making them ex post facto.

>He should ask for discovery in a trial, and then demand Obama’s original birth certificate to prove that he actually violated a law applying to Obama.

That would be funny. “Prove you’re really the president... because I obviously can’t be charged with trying to kill someone who doesn’t exist.”

Its too bad that somebody with a vacancy between the ears is making national news.

I can hardly wait to see how the Whitehouse dictates the story to be spun.

Gosh, none of my ammo is registered... I must be breaking Washington DC law, living out in California.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. If the Supremes can’t be bothered to check Obama’s birth certificate, perhaps they could continue to rip to pieces these insane legislative ideas that do not reduce crime and only let tyrants grow.

Think about it.

Not all the US is crime ridden cesspool like DC, NY, or some of these other progressive places that have all these laws and rules so they are safer. I have guns in my vehicle all the time and because the government has created all sorts of idiotic laws intended to make it hard to buy, own, sell, modify, trade, transport, and discharge a fire arm it is easy to get caught up in one of these BS violations. Look at how they go after gun shops for not crossing their “T’s” or dotting their “I’s.” The guy’s in trouble for owning a gun in a place that is crime ridden and does not allow people to own guns. Unless the cop has ESP, nothing more is known.

Unregistered gun? Unregistered ammo? what?

Somebody goofed and let out some premature information. Possession unregistered guns and unregistered ammo are crimes of the near future?

BTW, I you have registered guns and ammo, that information will be public record.

Dumb question...do rifles have to be registered? Or is this just a DC thing?

I don’t think I’ve ever registered anything.

This man is from Huey Long’s hometown. I wonder what he is trying to do. Sounds off his rocker
