Glock around and find out
the man had pro-gun bumper stickers in his car, including one that read, “Assault Life.”
Lmao what
I get that it’s a play on the “salt life” bumper stickers but how do you think that phrase doesn’t make you sound insane to people who aren’t in the knowA federal law enforcement official told the New York Times that the credential was not fake.
Sounds like a mistake. He works in "private security" drove right up to the gate with legit credentials and told the guards he had a weapon. He wasn't trying anything.
We need that headline though or else it would be harder to manufacture consent in all those liberal mind palaces.
The article also says his handgun was unregistered. Seems like if your job required you to have one you wouldn't make that mistake.
Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended.
Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog.
I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, “Tally ho lads” the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms.
Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
I mean sure this is alarming and all - but I'm trying to figure out what his reasoning is for the magazine to rounds ratio. Reloading a magazine takes a bit of time, right? Under what circumstances would he have the opportunity to stop and reload 30 times? Even if we're generous and assume he had at least 2 extra magazines, that does indeed cut down the reloads to just 10 times, but it triples the amount of time spent during each reload. Do you get to call "timeout" during a stochastic terror assassination attempt? Are those some kind house rules? (no pun intended)
meh, if I was heading to the range it wouldn't be that weird to have a few mags and an ammo can.
Not gonna use it all but it's nice to just blast through a hundred rounds or so.
That doesn't require forging credentials or lying.
Yeah, if you're shooting at a reasonable pace it might not take you half an hour to go through 100 rounds with a pistol. This definitely could be benign, but then again, there are probably hundreds of thousands of chuds with John Wick fantasies out there with visions of cutting through hordes of enemies like a video game.
If they stopped some random dude with an ammo can and a couple of extra mags and his excuse was going to the range I'd be asking why he was stopped/what else he did/is there any evidence at all
This guy lied and tried to fake credentials.
Maybe:
- He thinks there will be others joining him, like at the capitol
- A handgun and 500 rounds are compact enough to fit in a backpack or briefcase
- He can get it in and have enough to distribute to others
- If he gets pinned down in a building or behind something he has ammo to drag it out for hours
- Taking over some government building might be the main plan or a contingency
Or maybe it's nothing; that's not an absurd amount of ammo for an ordinary gun owner to have on hand.
I mean, there must be some Q people among those 25k troops - that's what I'd worry the most about if I were them at this point. Though I'd guess only secret service would be directly near/around him.
In this timeline that means that someone’s going to take him out
