Indeed, who knew that I was carrying around a thermonuclear weapon in Iraq? After all, he directly called an AR/M4/M16 a weapon of mass destruction.
And that bazookas are used in mass shootings as well.
Hyperbole like that does no cause any good, for it discredits the speaker instantly.
Nearly as bad as the perjury in one case, where a former BATFE agent claimed that a 5.56x45mm NATO round was more destructive to tissue than a 30-06 rifle round. Hint, the 30-06 is around twice as powerful. In most states, the AR round isn't permitted for deer hunting, as it's not likely to kill the deer, hence it's considered inhumane to use. Thankfully, in my state, using even an AR-10, the 7.62x51mm NATO/.308 rifle is also not permitted, due to it having a larger magazine than is allowed in our state. You know, the damned deer ain't shooting back, so one doesn't need that many rounds to suppress deer gunfire...

I've been watching ever since he descended that gold plated escalator in NYC. With growing trepidation, watched him infest the office, converting it into an Offal Office.
Then, out of touch at the time, as I was shopping and my wife was feeling under the weather, I got through the checkout line at the stupidmarket and finally looked at the headline news and was forced to sit down and choke back tears of both rage and angst on 1/6. Angst both over an attack upon our very government and over my thoughts of a response, full air burst shake and bake over the bastards.
Yeah, US Army veteran too and all combat units after I got out of nukes. The only election I missed a vote on was between FOBs, when the mail had trouble keeping up with us during the GWOT. Once and felt guilty over that.
On 4 Oct, my mail in ballot was dropped into the mailbox, as making it to the polling place is now problematic for me due to osteoarthritis and some other medical issues. 6 Oct, it was received by the county and accepted. It'll be counted on my birthday.
Hoping the nation gives me a good birthday present, no more Trump, rather than its usual fuck you for your service behind my back, while thanking me to my face. Not much faith though, as I watched our VA budget get slashed each and every year of my service to the nation - including the first year of our GWOT, when good service members were being sent home missing pieces.
Retired from that now, 28+ years, packed it in when it just started to hurt too much to put on all of that equipment that kept me and my teams alive. And don't miss lubing the Stryker. Even at my rank, I still maintained and operated my own vehicle, taking turns with driver as TC/driver. Didn't ask anyone to do anything I wasn't gonna do right alongside them. Including ducking, besides, I was the second best shot in the unit, best being our senior sniper.

Pennsylvania has always been an open carry state. So few ever bothered to that it's beyond unusual to see anyone openly carrying. The only exception is in cities of the first class, which is based upon population numbers and the Commonwealth having only one - Philadelphia, where only concealed carry with a permit to do so is permitted.
That said, polling places are just one out of a number of locations where carrying a firearm is absolutely prohibited.
Bullets and ballots make for poor bedfellows. The only gun that might belong in a polling place is a glue gun or maybe a screw gun, OK, maybe even a soldering gun, firearms, that's just a great big nope. Firearms belong on ranges or in the woods during hunting season.
I could see my making such a mistake and wearing a campaign related hat in, get asked to remove it, realize my error and ask if the floor of my car is acceptable. "OK, sorry about that, please save a place for me at the back of the line, I'll be right back!", mischief managed and no charges pending. Unless someone wanted to charge my exclaiming "shit for brains me", which is unlikely. Toss the crapmuffin hat on the floor of the car, secure the car, get back in line to cast my ballot. It's called being civilized.
By the same token, if I were to witness that misbehavior at a poll, especially the battery, I'd be in need of a replacement cane, as my cane would be up his ass sideways.
