Man arrested with guns at Trump's Washington hotel wanted to meet president

By Ian Simpson | WASHINGTON

A Pennsylvania doctor arrested with weapons and ammunition at President Donald Trump's Washington hotel wanted to meet the president and bring down "big pharmacy," authorities said on Friday.

Bryan Moles, 43, of Edinboro, faces weapons charges after police found an assault rifle, pistol and 90 rounds of ammunition early on Wednesday in his BMW at the Trump International Hotel, where he had checked in, according to a statement and documents from the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Police also found $10,000 in the room's safe. Moles told officers he had $4.19 left in his checking account, an important number to him because it corresponded to the date of the April 19, 1996, Oklahoma City attack, the filing said.

Moles said he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder related to his military service and could not take anti-psychotic medications because they made him suicidal, the complaint said.

The guy just wanted to lend his support. The fact he had guns shouldn't be that big a deal. He's an American, 2nd Amendment!!!

And he has his constitutional right to carry! Talk about hypocrisy!!! Arresting him for carrying is illegal!!! He should sue for his rights!!

Aren't they trying to encourage high-ranking people in foreign governments to stay there?

of the rest of his supporters. Have them bring all of their guns. Then they can fight over what music to play at their party. Then it's the hoosgow for all of them.
