Three men arrested in Aurora, Colo., on methamphetamine and firearms charges may have been plotting to assassinate Barack Obama, FBI authorities told FOX News late Monday, although local officials are still pondering the intent of the suspects.

Aurora Police Detective Marcus Dudley identified Tharin Gartrell, 28, as one suspect pulled over for a routine traffic stop Sunday and found to be wanted on numerous warrants. Two rifles, including a sniper rifle, and methamphetamines were found in the car.

Federal sources said this incident may have had more to do with methamphetamine than with any plot to assassinate Obama, but local police did not say why they connected the men to the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Want to bet that the "sniper rifle" was nothing more than a scoped hunting rifle?

If they'd thought about it first they would have identified it as an semi-automatic assault sniper rifle. Incorporate all their bugaboos in one weapon.

These boys should be home watching “Ow, My Balls!” and not out causing trouble.

You forgot to include a bayonet in your “bugaboo” list.

By the time these geniuses figured out how to load the rifle, the convention would be over. In any event, now the media is out to prove that racism meme, whether there is any proof or not. Three white losers with drugs and a gun...an obvious, racially motivated assassination plot.
