“reported fearing for their safety when the firearm pointed at them.”
and then they shot him, at least that’s what would happen in the world Republicans want us to live in.

Goes to show that even a neuroscientist can be dumb.

Clearly he was not carrying it responsibly since he was pointing it at people. Also, he’s a jackass.

He was making an asshole statement.

“…I decided to make the point…”
The point being he has a right to scare children and create fear among travelers, inviting travelers to legally shoot him on the spot.

But if he’d worn a hoodie and was buying skittles in a suspicious manner, he could be detained and shot, whether or not he had a gun.

“Responsibly carrying an AR-15” in a crowded airport. Enough said.

“Carrying a firearm into the airport is not in itself illegal.”
Why in the name of sanity isn’t it???

Indeed…and when a sovereign citizen carries an assault rifle into the airport and starts mowing down people, they’ll be making a political statement too.
So my refusal to have anything to do with a state that allows gun nuts to carry an assault rifle in public venues will be my political statement.
Thanks, Jan Brewer! Please inform the Chamber of Commerce and ALEC.

Leave the gun at home, Doc. That haircut makes all the political statement you need.

Just wondering… what would happen if EVERYONE carried a gun to the airport like this guy. Literally everyone.

“I am a peaceful political activist, and my purpose in walking around the airport with my AR-15 rifle was entirely political in nature,”
And your pointing it at someone was entirely stupid in nature. Taken together, your statement is that you are politically stupid. Like most Arizona Republicans your political statement is that you are an asshole.

Osama Bin Laden was making a political statement.

Maybe it’s jst me but taking a gun into an airport and aiming it at people does not quite fit the definition of “peaceful.” I agree with others who wonder what would happen if everyone were doing it. How peaceful would the world be then?
But most importantly about this article, please get rid of the auto-play!

It was political in exactly the same way that any other act of terrorism is political.

Now he can serve a “political statement” jail sentence.
