TYT: Republican Bob Gannon Wants Citizens To Kill "Scumbags"



Rep Bob Gannon wanted to talk about a local shooting in his area. He called for armed citizens to “clean up these scumbags.” Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Wisconsin Republican state senator has been accused of inciting a “vigilante uprising” after he called on law-abiding gun owners to “clean our society of scum bags”

Rep. Bob Gannon (R) responded to a recent shooting at East Towne Mall in Madison by saying that the incident could have been stopped if more people were carrying guns. During the incident over the weekend, a teen was shot in the leg and suffered non-life threatening injuries.

“Wisconsin does not have a death penalty law, but with significant practice and careful aim, law-abiding citizens can help clean our society of these scumbags,” Gannon said in a statement on Monday. “Criminals no longer have any fear of our courts or our prisons, so it’s time that the citizens of this fine state stand up and fight back.””*

4. Two important questions

Question 1: If "law-abiding" citizens were to go out and shoot whoever the fuck they feel like shooting, wouldn't they automatically lose their status as "law-abiding" citizens the second they pull the trigger?

and

Question 2: Since I consider anyone actively attempting to stir up armed insurrection to be a scumbag, would Rep. Gannon think it proper if someone were to blow his shit away to protect the general public?
