Reply to comment by Zenith2017 in Turtle Creek man charged with possessing guns in Pittsburgh's federal building by lod254

I mean the guy is an idiot sure, pretty much everyone who carries knows that Federal buildings are off limits; but there is nothing here that suggests he had malicious intention. Just that he likes to go a bit overboard with carrying concealed.

You can bet that the Marshals, the FBI or the Federal Protective Services have already gotten warrants to look at his social media accounts and have talked to people close to him to find out if he was attempting something. If so he would have been arrested.

The greater point of the satire I tried to make was that every gun owner is a well intended responsible and safe gun owner, up until the moment they aren't. The opposite is a rhetoric that tries to justify guys like these, mal-intended or not.

i think satire died when too many people took The Colbert Report to be real...

At some point Colbert, the daily show (god I still miss Jon Stewart), SNL etc just became bad imitations of reality in a way, haha
