Reaping the Whirlwind, Part II

So, James Yeager got himself on the news. Lovely.

In case you’re just tuning in, he recently posted a colorful and profane video in which he said,

I am not letting my country be ruled by a dictator. I’m not letting anybody take my guns. If it goes one inch further, I’m gonna start killing people.

Last time I checked, the President was elected by the will of the people, and executive power is still limited by the Constitution. I’m not sure how the label “dictator” applies, but the threat Yeager made is fairly clear.

Apparently, the Tennessee Department of Safety agreed, and they revoked his carry permit. This isn’t the first time they’ve done that to someone for acting like a nutjob in public, but Yeager is using it to generate as much publicity in the mainstream media as he can.

Between Alex Jones’ self-serving meltdown and this, the gun control crowd doesn’t need to look far for recruiting material. We’d all be better off if Yeager would keep his inane fantasies to himself and pursue some safety training.

Shaving off that wretched goatee would also be an improvement.
