Stable Texas lawmaker aims an AR-15 at himself while daring Biden

Realistically, it doesn’t even come to that. As more than a few people suspected of being armed and dangerous and undesirable in one way or another have found out, some decades of ‘tough on crime’ mean that having an APC full of SWAT team no-knock you at 3am and gun you down while you are still deciding between groping for your gun and trying to get your underwear on is not some extreme theoretical.

It probably won’t happen to him; but for a variety of obvious reasons involving social capital and being the right sort of person, if you catch my drift, rather than because The Man totally fears his guns, rather than seeing them as the perfect exculpatory evidence to bring a violent raid to a successful conclusion. The people who would hypothetically come after him probably wouldn’t even be the liberals of the nanny state; they’d be the same cops he was probably all for arming and training to deal with ‘urban’ issues and drug mexicans, applying an eminently transferrable skillset.
