So I watch the video and Jesus fucking Christ. That man should not be allowed to own a gun.

I wonder if he's a veteran or something because his reaction seemed like abject terror and panic. Regardless , no one should have let that man have a gun if he's so terrified and unstable.

I think he is a product of copaganda. If he was a vet, he wasn't combat.

The article said he did two tours overseas

Edit: the first comment stated the 2 tours, without any link to back it up. My bad
