One of those “responsible” gun owners who’ve like, taken courses and stuff.

You’ve seen this gruesome dude, first profiled in Raw Story. He is James Yeager, the “CEO” of a Tennessee company that specializes weapons and tactical training in Tennessee who threatened to “start killing people” if President Barack Obama moves forward with gun control measures, posting it all on the internet. Because who doesn’t want to take tactical training from a guy who proposes indiscriminate rage-shooting whenever you disagree with a legal decision reached by a democratically elected politician? In a surprise move – because you, know, Tennessee – the State of Tennessee suspended Yeager’s handgun permit.

I mean, way to craft that image, Tactical Response dude, the folks are mightily damned impressed with the measured and intelligent statements made, and even your local government has taken notice of your professional demeanor. Of course, your post facto admission that you were over-heated, over-emotional, and over-reacting in your first video, should in no way be compared to with would have happened if you had had a firearm in your hands instead of a video camera at the time. I suppose we can expect 24/7 media coverage of  your blood-soaked rampage through Tennessee in retaliation. I hope they don’t pre-empt coverage of any NFL playoff games this weekend!

Man i’m having a hell of a time wrapping my head around this gun debate. Hearing the NRA psychos wheel out their arguments against things like a registry of gun owners, background checks to weed out lunatics, banning machine guns and other assault weapons, banning large ammo, etc. I’m floored by how ridiculous and easily refutable they are. How fucking powerful the gun lobby must be to have gotten its way in so many extreme ways for so long. and how ridiculous it is that so many of us have to live by the diktat of Antonin Scalia and the angry inbred yokels who don’t know how to call 911. You would think someone in the “gun biz” would at least be trying to sound rational and professional these days – weeks after 20 5-year olds were riddled with bullets at school. You would think people would be paying attention to folks with lots of guns making threats. I’m restricted from buying fucking spray paint and the good Sudafed in the city of Los Angeles – with an obscene murder rate – yet it can’t restrict guns. No wide-nib paint markers for you! No Sudafed 12 hour relief! And no contraception! No abortions!

You gotta be pretty fucked for TENNESSEE to take away your carry permit. It’s guys like you, James, that makes me wish your paranoid ravings about jackbooted government stormtroopers were real. The first wave of rabid gun nuts like yourself going up against the G-team, that’d be a reality show I’d actually watch. And it’s funny cause you will never see or hear the drone that hunts you down and kills your ass. And really James, if anyone has moved his house to the front of the drone attack line it is you. Smart move, what else can you teach us.
