    Why do we need laws against standing next to golf courses with guns? It’s already illegal to shoot the president.

        He probably didn’t shoot becaue it is illegal to shoot a gun towards an ex-president.

        I’m pretty sure it’s been confirmed that he did not. He didn’t even have a line of sight of Trump and was (apparently) still waiting for that opportunity.

      He didn’t shoot the president. He was just exercising his 2nd Amendment rights, you commie socialist!

        Florida has a dumbass law where you can open carry while hunting and fishing. Dude could just say he was hunting anacondas or whatever they kill in Florida

            Sorry, it’s on the way to or from, should have been more clear. But also… Fishing?

              Gators, sharks, snakes, panthers, snapping turtles, wild boar, FloridaMan…

              Also, that’s like the least insane thing about Florida. They banned open carry in public but allow permit-free(!) concealed carry. Most states allow open carry and require permits for concealed.

      They don’t have enough evidence to get an attempted assassination charge, let alone a conviction. So they want to throw other crimes at the guy.

      Standing by or on a golf course carrying a loaded weapon in itself is not a crime, depending on various details, and the state.
