Todd Goulston, 59, had been inside the store when he noticed the 30-year-old Abington man not wearing a mask and according to police, the argument escalated to Goulston pulling a gun out of his car and pointing it at the victim.

His actions make all gun owners look foolish and will fuel more anti-gun rhetoric in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Does the gunman lose his 2nd Amendment rights after this stunt?

‘His actions make all gun owners look foolish and will fuel more anti-gun rhetoric in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.’

some lunatic was on the verge of killing a man for not wearing a mask, and your biggest worry is how it will affect gun rights...?

I hope he does. He is obviously a danger to others.

This year is driving plenty of people insane. The best thing to do is to social distance, hang out only with trusted family and friends.

I’ve given up on shopping, not wearing a mask, but also not interested in some heated fight/argument with others. I’m going to do it all online.

Really have to wonder how long it’s going to take before all this insanity culminates into some mass shooting incidents. We are already seeing big spikes in urban violence, but since that is black on black...it’s ignored.

Yes, I posed the question because insane actions by this supposed legal gun owner tend to be reported repeatedly in the media instead of the instances where legal gun owners stop a death from happening.

Todd’s “news silo” took enough time off from getting people killed by lying about hydroxychloroquine - to get him imprisoned by lying about the Covid.

Maybe the non masked person should have been carrying? And let the bullets fly...

/sarc

This will happen. The mask wearer has no authority.

Black Lives Matter protestors have killed more black kids in the past three months than the Police did the entire prior year.

Huh. How does one distinguish --

a) an indignant Chad or Karen, wearing a mask, pulling a gun to make you wear one too

from

b) simple armed robbery

So “death from covid” is the justification. Wow. Good to know that someone might pull a gun on me for not wearing a mask. That way I can be prepared too. And if someone pulls a firearm on me I won't wait to find out that he wasn't serious and was only threatening me.

I'll have the justification and I'll win in court.

I think the man with the gun is the same Todd shown on this healthcare site. He would be considered a Covid-19 high risk individual based on a 2016-2017 diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Not excusing the behavior, but I can see why he might have elevated concerns over mask use.

Yep. There is no doubt who they will blame.

The expectation based on recent training in my workplace is that such incidents are inevitable.

He should just stay in his house to be safe.

The whole mask thing is a joke and will not protect him from exposure. Anyone who believes it is a fool. And if they are at that high of a risk then they should stay home... for their own safety of course.

Good catch! I imagine you might be correct about that.

It's kind of like "road rage" - people just need to leave the area, then return after their concerns subside.
