Maybe if you went out and got a fake homo son, he could teabag you.

Many of Poplawski’s conspiracy theories were gun-related. A gun rights activist who supported the open carry of firearms in Pennsylvania, Poplawski made statements typical of such activists. “The thing about gun control,” he wrote in December 2008, “is that if you pass a law restricting gun ownership, the only people who are going to follow that law are lawful citizens. Criminals are going to get guns no matter what.” In the same posting, in a tragic and ironic foreshadowing, he hypothetically suggested, “Hand everybody an AK and a sidearm. Everybody. And see how long these mass murdering sprees last, if anybody even dares to attempt them.”

Just to preface, I believe individuals have the right to possess firearms under the Constitution.

I was actually to referring the post-election reawakening of unhinged wingnuts like this guy:

Poplawski bought into the SHTF/TEOTWAKI conspiracy theories hook, line and sinker, even posting a link to Stormfront of a YouTube video featuring talk show host Glenn Beck talking about FEMA camps with Congressman Ron Paul. When the city of Pittsburgh got a Homeland Security grant to add surveillance cameras to protect downtown bridges, Poplawski told Stormfronters that it was “ramping up the police state.” He said, too, that he gave warnings to grocery store customers he encountered (but only if they were white) to stock up on canned goods and other long-lasting foods.

The fearmongering promulgated by provocateurs like Glenn Beck and yourself tend to validate these psychopaths’ worldviews.

We’ll always have common criminals with guns, most of which have little interest in staging an armed coup, much less taking on a whole SWAT team like this coward did. The election of a black president, on the other hand, presents the very real possibility that “law-abiding citizens” who own small armories of assault weapons just might get agitated enough to do just such a thing.
