Kids terrified as Republican lawmaker flashes gun during school’s statehouse visit

An Indiana state lawmaker was captured on video opening his suit jacket and flashing a holstered pistol to shaken students who were on a visit to the Statehouse in Indianapolis to voice their concerns about guns and school shootings, according to The Statehouse File.

“I’m carrying one right now,” Republican state Rep. Jim Lucas said, as he opened the right side of his jacket to show the weapon on his person.

“See, nothing about that makes me feel safe,” a student behind the camera replied. Nothing about carrying a gun makes me feel safe. It makes me feel threatened.”

Lucas interjected. “Okay, those are feelings. I’m talking facts. I’m talking facts.”

“That’s what this is about—” the student, identified by the Statehouse File as 17-year-old Makynna Fivecoats.

“Feelings,” he asked.

“Yes it is,” Fivecoats told him.

Lucas then said, “The people who want to kill you, don’t care about your feelings though.”

Well at least this Republican had his clothes on when he flashed the kids…

I haz a sad because I was hoping to hear the judgement from Engoron and the appeals court about presidential immunity today.

Guaranteed that future voter will remember that, likely for the rest of their life.

A man who carries a firearm everywhere because he’s afraid all the time criticizes someone else for acting on feelings instead of reason?

Must be a Republican.

That is so on brand for an Indiana Republican. How can they say this with a straight face and mean it?

“Okay, those are feelings. I’m talking facts. I’m talking facts.”

Murders, suicides, accidental deaths by gun, vs. successful self-defense episodes with gun. I’m sure he has a feeling about which is more prevalent.

So no word from Engoron today? Maybe he’s waiting for the DC court of appeals to say Trump doesn’t have lifetime immunity so he can get arrested for threats after he hears how much money he’s being fined…

Lucas does not care about their feelings either. I think the attitude is delivered with the firearm.

The DC appeals court needs to get its collective thumb out of its collective ass. Trump’s absolute immunity arguments are so frivolous the attorneys that made them should be sanctioned.

In other words, this is not a difficult case.

Now only do they have the AR-15 strapped to their back, they have at least two pistols holstered to their belt and another gun in a shoulder holster because they got a teeny tiny Twinkee.

While that is apparently true to us laypeople, the issue is that the court has to make its ruling absolutely bulletproof. This is going to be appealed to SCOTUS. I am very sure that the Calvinball Court will not rule in favor of the tangerine wankmaggot, but it does not pay to leave things to chance.

I guess we should have expected the MAGA cultists to start decapitating their family members. It’s not like we weren’t warned.

She paired up with Def Leppard for some fun so she’s OK as far as I’m concerned. She’s also a good egg, I hear. ;)

They have to have the pistols because they worry someone might try to steal their rifle.

the fact that Senor Gateway Pundit was trying to spin this as some kind of deep fake really is telling isn’t it?

cripes, is there any way we can exile the assholes to the giant floating garbage pile in the Pacific.

I’m hoping it goes straight to SCOTUS, as opposed to a second appeal at the DC appeals court (this time en banc, i.e., all of the judges instead of just a panel). That would just be another round of unacceptable delay.

In fact, that’s the only good reason I can think of for this delay — the DC court on its own making this an en banc case to piss all over the immunity shit as thoroughly as possible and close off that possibility for delay.

I have no confidence in the Supreme Court and I would not be surprised if the Sleazy Six are ordered by Leonard Leo to give Trump total immunity and deny that same immunity to Biden a la Bush V Gore where the corrupted court ruled that decision was a one-off.
