More ammo for the gun control advocates. Dumbass.
The Republican Party chairman of Boise County in Idaho was arrested Thursday for aggravated assault after he pulled a gun on a man whose house he was photographing.
Charles McAffee, 33, was among Idaho's anti-tax tea-party activists, and is a member of the Idaho Republican Party Central Committee. He was arrested after pulling a handgun on a homeowner whose mortgage his employer sought to photograph for being delinquent. His employer is a contractor for Wells Fargo.
Wells Fargo called McAffee's behavior "horrific and absolutely inexcusable." Via AP:
According to police in the Boise suburb of Meridian, resident Robert Lutes called officers just before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday to report McAffee had pointed a .357 Magnum handgun at him during a verbal confrontation. McAffee acknowledged he pointed the gun at Lutes, according to the police account.
"I'm unarmed, I'm an old man," Lutes, 51, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I'm trying to find out why he's taking pictures of my house. I said, 'Knock on my door, let me know what you want.' Then, I think he's reaching for his business card and he pulls out a concealed weapon and I think he's going to blow my head off."
240 ...looks to me like there's a mass manipulation going on, which if escalated, will produce winners on either side of the debate.
By the manipulation of the crazy gun nuts, when they run off and do half cocked crazy stuff, the more ammunition it gives to gun control and the more passionate they become about expanding gun control... which in turn lends credence to the other side when they say...
"see, we told you they wanted to do away with the 2nd amendment." At the same time, if one of those guys goes off at a town hall, possibly one where the President is speaking... well, wouldn't that be a powerful way to implement gun control? Again, given the same scenario... the hard right would be quite content to see a whackjob go off the deep end at a town hall where the President is speaking. It appears that both sides of the issue stand to benefit, whatever the outcome, the more these crazies exist. I think as a result, you might see many more people attempting to fan the flames, and push things to the breaking point. Both sides have considerably too much to gain from an escalation than they do rational discussion. In the end, the big losers will be freedom, the 2
nd amendment, and the American people.
I feel bad for you 240. If things keep going the way they do, ...you might have to pack up your stuff and move to Canada, and after years of living in hot sunny Florida, ...I know our weather would just kill you.
