In reply to the discussion: NRA Head's son was involved in a Road Rage shooting. [View all]ashling
(25,771 posts)19. Here is what the Huff Po wrote about that incident
when Keene was inducted to the office of pres of NRW:
***
One person who presumably will not be attending the event is Keene's son, David Michael Keene, who according to news reports and trial documents was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison for a 2002 road-rage incident in which he fired a handgun from his moving vehicle at another car on the George Washington Memorial Parkway in Virginia.
For more on this, let's go to that pro-gun bastion of conservative reporting, WorldNetDaily. In a December 2010 article which focused primarily on a rumored $400,000 embezzlement scandal facing the American Conservative Union, WorldNetDaily reported that:
Remember, guns don't attempt to kill people, the sons of NRA presidents do.

In addition to his role at ACU, David Keene also serves as 1st vice president of the National Rifle Association and, as such, is in line to become the powerful gun lobby's next president.
That role caused the NRA some anguish when Keene's son, David Michael Keene, was arrested for a road rage incident in which he allegedly fired a gun at another motorist on the George Washington Memorial Parkway. The round fired shattered the rear window of the victim's car, lodging into the driver's seat, coming within inches of hitting him, according to police reports.

Just a wild guess- he hates his parents. He was emotionally crippled. He can be helped.

Or maybe being raised in a mondo-Gun Culture household had something to do with it?

+1, 000 to all you said. That's wisdom and compassion. It exceeds the security of being armed.

How about armed teabaggers lined along all the roads and sidewalks in the country?

The first one has adorned bumpers for twenty years now. It's a full generation of hate.

Doesn't surprise me. Guns are dangerous, yet gun cultists don't want to talk about that.

Happened in 2002 - he got 10 years - he'd be out this year if there was no early release.

Sounds like a typical bagger, bircher, infowars nut. Don't have facilities for all of them.
