California Republican Terrorist Threat? Carries loaded Illegal Gun on Plane. TSA Makes Arrest.

With fellow Republicans doing everything they can to take down the U.S. economy in an attempt to defeat Barack Obama, is it really any stretch to assume one of them might want to take down a plane to make their point? That’s what California Assemblyman Tim Donnelly might have been planning when he took a loaded gun on a plane.

Okay, that’s crazy talk, but it’s not a stretch to read or hear a conservative spew that kind of speculation in the conservative media.  

But what’s bizarre about the story is the district Assemblyman Tim Donnelly represents; Twin Peaks!!!

Not only that, he didn’t have a license to carry. None! I know, Republicans are above the law and can be trusted with things like that, but we’ll have to wait and see if he’s charged for violating state law.

But come on, here we have a Republican “lawmaker” who thinks he can break two laws and get away with it.

SacBee: Days after he was issued a misdemeanor citation for carrying a loaded firearm into the Ontario airport, Assemblyman Tim Donnelly  indicated today that he does not have a permit to carry a concealed weapon … Donelly's briefcase contained a .45-caliber handgun with four rounds in its magazine, and a spare magazine containing five rounds … The 45-year-old Twin Peaks Republican said that he had armed himself because of recent death threats … Nico Melendez, spokesman for the TSA, said that it was his understanding that Donnelly did not possess a concealed weapons permit. Donnelly was cited for possession of a loaded firearm, punishable by a sentence of up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. The Transportation Security Administration also could levy a fine of up to $10,000.

But still, anyone who can disregard two big time laws, had to have an even bigger reason to do so. Is he our first elected terrorist, a Republican, to plot the takedown of a passenger plane? Hey, that’s what some people are saying.
