Thanks. It says that those convicted can be fined or imprisoned for not more than 5 years or both. I’d like to see Beck locked up for 5 years, then transferred to a loony bin.
After working in public safety for 25 years, I took many classes about the threat that crazies with guns, knives, hatchets, etc. posed to us. In close quarters a knife in the hands of a crazy person is more dangerous in many scenarios than if he/she has a gun. This is illustrated by an experience that I had.
We responded to a 911 hang-up call. We were afraid that possibly someone was having a heart attack or having some other type of life threatening problem. My crew laddered an upstairs window. I went through the window and as I came down the stairs I saw a naked guy siting on the couch. When I asked if he was doing OK, he pointed a handgun at me and started pulling the trigger. I ducked and quickly exited through the front door with him right behind me.
If he had tried to ambush me with a knife instead of a handgun... there is a good chance that I would have been killed or seriously injured. After the incident was resolved, the police secured his gun. It was fully loaded, but he had put the cartridges in the magazine backwards
Knifing people is currently one of the favored methods of terrorists in Israel right now. So this really is nothing to joke about. Is anyone going to ask Ted Cruz about this? And is Ted Cruz willing to “disavow” his campaign trail mate without hesitation.
