Did Gary Johnson Throw out AP's pistol?

[William Tell]

Maybe Weld told Gary he's not allowed to have guns.

 

[younglibertarian]

Ah, so Peterson is a fucking idiot.

I'd have thrown out his pistol too.

Petersen doesn't have to be an angel to see that this was a jerk move.

Personally I don't mind Petersen.

But like him or not he has tons of support, and Gary isn't gonna get it when he does stuff like this.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Even in my low information voter days I was a rabidly pro gun voter. Between this and Weld they would have lost my vote even back when I was a political idiot. LOL clearly the LP doesn't want my vote this year. More's the pity.

Maybe he he is, but Weld is still a statist.

I mean, this should be obvious from a pure political calculus.

A skilled political operative would have put it on a stand and hid it away somewhere only to trot it out when an AP supporter came to visit, no matter how much he hated AP BECAUSE THAT'S HOW POLITICS WORKS.

You can damn bet you Hillary Clinton gun hating wretch that she is would have kept the pistol, put it on a stand, and buried it in a closet where noone could see it, and then have an index of visitors tagged "supporters of this guy" and out comes the pistol, somewhere prominent but tasteful.

In addition to everything else, this incident reveals Gary Johnson as a political imbecile.

Yeah but he's a statist with an L after his name. Isn't that the best kind?

It's extremely stupid to airing intra-party squabbles in front of the media.

It doesn't matter.

He got elected governor twice. That disproves your statement I think.

It's stupid to create problems when your main opponent is literally conceding to you and saying he will help you in any way he can.

...except by not calling you out in front of reporters from the Washington Post, evidently.

 

[Origanalist]

It doesn't matter.

Lol, the word needs to mean something.

But he needed to be called out. Weld was a bad choice.

Have you seen Austin's concession speech? He said he fully supported Johnson, but not his VP pick.

He endorsed him.

 

[William Tell]

Lol, the word needs to mean something.

Yeah, like the word Republican.

 

[r3volution 3.0]

Lol, the word needs to mean something.

I give up.

Keep writing in Ron Paul or whatever you plan to do.

Watch what happens.

It won't be a freer country.

 

[Origanalist]

Then he shouldn't have insulted someone who just conceded and endorsed him.

 

[Origanalist]

Yeah, like the word Republican.

"small government"

 

[erowe1]

Not me.

But what a great way to keep the LP in the news cycle or circulating on social media for the next few days! It has everything: two competing candidates, drama, a gun... Trump and Hillary have their media $#@!storms; Gary needs something to keep him newsworthy, and this could provide some media attention. If this wasn't orchestrated by someone, it should have been.

Is this actually getting reported by some news outlet whose audience includes nonlibertarians?

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Tell that to homeland while they have you stripped naked and have a gloved hand up your butt. No way I would travel with that thing.

It's easy to fly with a gun. Just pack it in checked baggage and declare it. Especially if it's a replica. Better yet, replicas can be shipped, say back to a campaign office in New Mexico?

 

[GunnyFreedom]

I give up.

Keep writing in Ron Paul or whatever you plan to do.

It's been made pretty clear now that neither would electing Gary Johnson provide us with a freer country.
