A Nevada man with a shotgun, a loaded handgun and ammunition in his vehicle was arrested at a security checkpoint outside Donald Trump’s rally Saturday night in the Southern California desert, authorities said Sunday. He was released Saturday on $5,000 bail.
The suspect, a 49-year-old resident of Las Vegas, was driving a black SUV that was stopped by deputies assigned to the rally in Coachella, east of Los Angeles, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
The man was arrested on suspicion of possessing a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine, the department said.
Nothing in here suggesting that this was an assassination attempt, just someone with guns in his car. Must be a be a bit awkward given the way the far right likes to brandish firearms during protests.
Makes for an amusing juxtaposition though. “Who are you voting for? The candidate that’s a gun owner or the one who’s having gun owners arrested?”
suspicion of possessing a loaded firearm
How is that even a thing in the US?
I mean, isn’t that his constitutional right, outside the checkpoint, presumably on a public road?
It’s totally a thing in California. You’re supposed to transport your firearms in the unloaded state, unless you have a concealed carry license.
TY!
Why? This is the one legitimate use of guns, to fight tyranny.
But the tyrants don’t like it when you do that so they arrest you and/or shoot you in no particular order
So… the guns-for-everyone crowd who doesn’t want any laws restricting access to firearms won’t allow a guy to have a gun at their gatherings? What a bunch of lying little bitches.
That article doesn’t even include the guy’s name. It’s Vem Miller and he’s a Republican (shocking, I know) sovereign citizen. Of course he had loaded guns with him.
