I'm pretty sure in his mind he was going more for this:

Oh, no doubt in my mind that's who some people suddenly think they are just because they bought a gun and took a quick target lesson. The whole "we just need more good guys with guns" narrative is enough to indicate that.

I'm just surprised they don't realize that:

a) The Punisher is a MAJOR criminal and hardly someone to be emulated in real life.
b) He is also quite the sociopath.

Yeah, but, didn't you know, Maji? It's okay to be kill-crazy like him as long as the people whose heads you are blowing off or setting on fire are evil.

Shoot. I had a crazy stepmother once (thankfully my father finally got the heck away from her) who loved seeing him and Rambo in action, shredding hundreds of dudes to ribbons with gatling guns. ... And boy was she sure to also let people know how much she "loves the Lord"!

Ah, the irony of this thread. A bunch of sheep, too frightened to take the responsibility of defending their own lives, making fun of a man brave enough to defend not only himself, but others as well.
You can’t make this stuff up!
Oh wait a minute you aren’t joking....

Seriously a Trump supporter turned up at a tragedy and chose to use it for political gain.

Counterpoint: He's a convicted felon, and therefore is breaking the law by owning a gun. Hence, bad guy with a gun (and another gun. And a few more guns, and then another pile of guns over there... seriously the guy's superpower is basically "spontaneously generates guns").

Interestingly enough, Frank Castle (The Punisher) is an ex-cop who was left for dead by a mob hit which wiped out the rest of his family. The only times he's ever gone to jail was when he let himself be captured -- usually to kill some criminal who thought he could escape punishment... by already being in prison.

So, yeah... model of mental health, he ain't.

This post suggests you did not read the article in the OP.

Also, it's possible to be both brave AND stupid and/or socially tactless. Just because this guy is "brave" (so owning a gun by itself is all it takes to make someone brave now? What a low bar that exists), doesn't mean he isn't stupid or that he shows good judgment. Had your story line not distracted posters (and those you had not distracted) you would have seen that a few posters here just felt the move was a bit callous, and showed bad judgement.
You know how other gun owners let their children play with guns? That is bad judgment. You know how some people will hold their guns in public with their finger on the trigger? That's bad judgement. You know how people go to the scene of mass killings with weapons a day or two after they happen? It's never happenned before this guy because......That's bad judgement.

Frankly, I figure this dude was there looking for a way to get caught up in the UNDOUbTEDLY COMING DOWN THE LINE conspiracy theories and he wanted to find reasons and ways to become famous.

Well, my plan would be to let the police who were already on the scene & had already remanded the shooter perform their vital job instead of creating an additional concern. Showing up at the scene of a shooting with a gun is a good way to get shot & to terrify I sure would hope anybody with a lick of sense in them would have that same plan. This fellow didn't say a single word to the effect of wanting to play the hero.

Eta - it's illegal to bring a weapon onto school property if you're not in law enforcement. It's also a really good way to get shot & cause panic. It shows an absolute lack of critical thinking.
People wear guns on their hips in Texas it's just a normal thing. He was just there showing support which is a lot more than any of you did lol. So what if your all offended by a random dude holding a flag? He wasn't being obnoxious.

Random dude holding flag: Not an issue.
Random dude bringing openly displayed firearm to the aftermath of a mass shooting at a school: Demonstration of really, really poor judgement.

The flag is not the issue. And the flag doesn't somehow excuse the poor judgement displayed by this individual.

Look, if you wear a gun on your hip you need to make sure you've got a lightbulb turned on in your brain. This fellow's wasn't just off, it was blown out. It's not giving a dang bit of support to go to the scene of a school shooting, an active crime scene carrying a gun. It's extremely selfish & extremely stupid. He's lucky he didn't get himself shot. The parents of the kids at that school were right to be livid & disgusted by this obnoxious fool.

Really? I live in Texas and I don't see people wearing guns on their hips other than law enforcement. Where in Texas do you live?

He was just there showing support which is a lot more than any of you did lol.

Who or what was he "showing support for? Because in context, it looks like he was showing support for Trump and his gun rather than the school kids.

So what if your all offended by a random dude holding a flag? He wasn't being obnoxious.

Yeah, that's all he was. Some random dude holding a flag. :doh:
