In some states that's a crime, it's called brandishing. Does anyone know if Indiana has a brandishing law?
After a quick look, it appears that they don’t. In Indiana, you actually have to point the gun at someone before there are any potential legal repercussions.
Note: I am not a lawyer, law student, or even a resident of Indiana.
Depends on color and bank account size.
He said they clearly weren't ready to handle the situation “if they felt intimidated by somebody, like myself, just simply showing them something that is protected by our Constitution.”
What an insensitive prick. The students went to the statehouse because they have perfectly reasonable fears, and are concerned for their lives. This piece of dogshit responds by traumatizing them.
These kids just got a lesson in how much their elected officials, Republicans in particular, care about them.
Yeah these politicians tend to forget that kids grow up to become voters. Seeds planted early usually have the strongest tendencies to sway a voter.
If they get to that voting age..... Assuming they don't get killed by guns before then
Touché
Lucas then said, "The people who want to kill you, don't care about your feelings though."
And Fivecoats came back, "Exactly, that's the problem."
I wish more people could understand and take this to heart. Seems like it completely went over the guy's head.
"I'm carrying one right now,"
Yes that's the problem. Short tempered lunatics with guns.
Jesus how tone deaf is this guy? Why not play a fucking air raid siren for PTSD-riddled veterans while you're at it?
Whenever I use that example I always get “that’s different.”
Maybe set off a bunch of explosions to show how much you honor their service to the country.
That guy looks like he eats live doves during his lunch break.
A perfect example of someone who shouldn't be allowed to have a gun.
Remember to vote people, encourage your family, friends and coworkers. Let's vote republicunts into oblivion
