I think we've arguably reached the point where a person with a social media account is more dangerous to civilization than a man with a gun. That is terrifying.

According to the news there have not been any calls reported so I'm going to call bull on what this person claims he has done so far. And if he does go through with his plan to make calls he will likely get fined.AndyC wrote:Some guy on FB claims to have a group harassing gun-folks in Texas:
I called DPS and let the lady know the details - she seemed pretty interested in the guy, so we'll see what happens.

I don't even think fining them is enough. It should be a felony with a 5 year minumum sentence and life in prison if their recklessness causes the open carrier to get shot and killed. I'm normally for lowering the penalty for many crimes but not this one.zero4o3 wrote:According to the news there have not been any calls reported so I'm going to call bull on what this person claims he has done so far.

I'll take it a step further, that if it causes harm to anyone they should receive stiff punishment-life.amaly23 wrote:I don't even think fining them is enough.

if the call actually is considering swating it very well could be much more serious. if I recall a 5-6 years ago someone got 11 years for it. If they send a single officer to talk to you its likely to be less harsh of a punishment .amaly23 wrote:I don't even think fining them is enough.

He should think about his own appearance when telling others to call the cops just because someone is wearing a certain item.powerboatr wrote:
