That out of the way, the McCloskeys are touring for a Trump Victory organization. Mark spoke for about an hour, he detailed some of their prior life (He indicated they have always been Republicans for instance) and of course the incident itself.
He went into great detail about their state of mind leading up to the confrontation talking about the considerable unrest in St.Louis prior to the incident including personal anecdotes about people they knew who had their businesses looted etc... He indicated they had pre staged fire extinguishers and guns in preparation. The protest was a known event, published on a Facebook page. However, it didnt come off at the time it was supposed to so he and his wife kinda went about their usual business-family dinner etc....The riotors showing up was a surprise.
He indicated that the only words he said to the protestors was "PRIVATE PROPERTY" as they entered the gate- which was locked, and that was what set them off. He was initially out on his porch/deck with his rifle with a hedge and a low wall between him and the riotors. His wife was in the house. Then suddenly she came out of another door and was between him and them.....He felt he had no choice but to go to her to protect her and left that position. He knew the gun she had was DEACTIVATED AND COMPLETELY INERT. Turns out it was a Bryco that they had used as a prop in a lawsuit and deactivated for use in court!!!!
The incident we saw though was only the beginning! For the entire next week they recieved many threats of firebombing and murder. They were told a mob was coming for them the next Friday--(in fact, a mob of 500-700-per fbi estimates, people did show up but stayed outside the walls). They did not know what to do, they tried to hire security and no one would take the job.
The Whitehouse reached out to them. Allen West arranged for a contingent of retired Navy Seals to be on hand that following weekend. Local police were told to stand down! Despite this the Chief of Police stayed with them for that Friday evening as well. There were FBI air assets overhead. At one point one of the Seals detected a sniper in a nearby building....turned out to be FBI HRT on overwatch!
Many lessons, very interesting....
Did they serve T-Ravs as appetizers?
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.
