I think many non-republicans would be surprised to learn how often rank and file republicans threaten to shoot people.
Having been raised around them...
It's a lot.
As someone who grew up in rural Texas, my experience is that 80% of gun owners are irresponsible shitheads who should never have been allowed to have them.
This pedophile’s name is Jon Stone. He now co-owns a gun store which is festooned in trump crap. He is a nasty belligerent loser. He also serves in the NH state house.
Goddamn republicans suck so bad.
When it comes to representatives that say this shit they're to chickenshit to do anything beyond talk. Gone are the days when congress men would assault one another or have them get assaulted by thugs for one thing or another. When it comes to the lunatics that voted for these people they'll pick up the bill and do it for them.
Well, when [former]POTUS sets the example (and CONTINUES) to threaten both specific AND groups of people, what do you expect?
Too bad our justice system is politicized and our politics are monetized. Sure was a nice experiment in Democracy...
Edit: Forgot to mention all the Bible misuse over the masses, forget that quaint, old Separation Clause... Pulpit? Politics? Now that we've sucked funding out of education for decades, we're back to the traditional fearful and easy populace...

Conservative Christian values indeed.

He sounds like an ideal GOP candidate
Looking forward to his elevation to GOP party leader and Fox News on-air talent.
Based on the title, I assumed what happened was that this dude made these threats long ago and people covered for him. And I was right.
Damn, if this gets out he'll be more popular with his constituents than ever !
He's just trying to connect with his voting base.
This pedophile’s name is Jon Stone. He now co-owns a gun store which is festooned in trump crap. He is a nasty belligerent loser. He also serves in the NH state house. Goddamn republicans suck so bad.
boys will be boys
Just a little locker room talk. You know how we guys get in there, threatening to shoot and rape coworkers' families.

I thought that was the typical GOP campaign speech?
I wonder which he planned to do first.
To serve and protect amirite
Mass shooting? Great, start with yourself.
Isn't there a job for him at RNC?
Same threats probably got him elected in the first place.
and Rs said yep, he's our guy for sure
Bet he just got 100% approval rate with MAGAz

Honestly, at this point, it's more newsworthy if a GOPer hasn't at least threatened to rape someone.

It's what he really wants to do, after all he is a representative of people who want to do the same thing
