In reply to the discussion: Concealed carry holder arrested for threatening President Obama [View all]indepat
(20,899 posts)7. In America it seems a.o.k. to own an AK-15, 11,000 rounds of ammunition, a long-range scope,
training manuals on long-range shooting, and even be a member of one of the referenced militia groups, but it is not a.o.k. to threaten our President. This incident is enough to make one wonder how many Nick Savino-types/wannabees are out there considering the large number of domestic gun-toters, spewers of hate, and militias. One wonders the combined threat domestic haters pose to our national security as opposed to the threat posed by any/all foreign groups. One also wonders if the resources devoted to domestic threats to our national security are sufficient when compared to the resources devoted to foreign al Que-da-types.
