Obama stormtroopers rob a 77 year old vet of his second amendment rights!

[^_^ 5,021]

NOVEMBER 24--A 77-year-old South Carolina man whose home was stocked with an arsenal of guns told Secret Service agents that he wanted to shoot Barack Obama “for what he has done to this country,” according to a criminal complaint charging him with threatening the president’s life.

Michael Bowden allegedly first spoke of killing Obama last week during a “routine check-up” at a Veterans Administration clinic in Spartanburg. Bowden ... told a nurse that he “was thinking of traveling to Washington, DC, to shoot the President (Obama) because he is not doing enough to help African Americans,” according to an affidavit sworn by Agent Mark Booth.

In an interview last Wednesday with three federal investigators, Bowden acknowledged threatening Obama’s life at the VA facility.

In a sworn, written statement he noted that, “if I had the opportunity to put Obama against the wall and shoot him, I would.” Bowden added that if he could kill anyone, “I would kill, if possible, the President (Obama), for what he has done to this country.”

During a search of Bowden’s home, agents located three semi-automatic handguns and a semi-automatic rifle--all of which were “fully loaded, with rounds in the firing chamber--near his bed. In Bowden’s son’s bedroom, agents found 12 other guns, while a “loaded, short-barrel shotgun” was found near the home’s front door.

The jailed Bowden, who turns 78 on Friday, may soon be freed pending the completion of a psychiatric evaluation. One condition of his release will require Bowden to refrain from possessing a firearm.

Sounds like a candidate for dignitas

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Wait for the analysis by our resident experts that will say he couldn't actually shoot the President with the type of arsenal he has.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Indeed. Because that's the pertinent point

Perhaps we can talk about the calibre of an AK47 again. Lol

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Yep....threatening the President is no longer taboo - it's the ultimate expression of patriotism.

“was thinking of traveling to Washington, DC, to shoot the President (Obama) because he is not doing enough to help African Americans,”

So the southern redneck white dude wants to kill the black President because he isn't helping black folks enough?

Uh-kay. That makes sense.

He's just trying to be PC about his racism.

#######, if I looked like that I would be a true patriot and shoot myself.

What do you know, an idiot with an arsenal. One thing is for sure his mind is no lethal weapon. Hopefully this moron never gets his guns back.

[scandal 951]

#######, if I looked like that I would be a true patriot and shoot myself.

Why? Because he is old?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Why? Because he is old?

Because he is senile.

You will look like that. Just give it some time.

So they take his rights to have weapons before he has had a trial and been found guilty. Sounds like what a Fascist state would do.

You should make death threats against the President and see how long you keep your guns! [Of course this is sarcasm and not serious advice.]

This idiot has already shown he should not possess firearms, at least for now.

Yep. Anyone who makes death threats to anyone should have their guns taken away...period.
