Summary

Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested in Colorado for allegedly attacking TV reporter Ja’Ronn Alex, demanding to know if Alex was a U.S. citizen and declaring, “This is Trump’s America now.”

Police say Egan followed Alex’s vehicle for 40 miles, confronted him at his news station, and tackled him, putting him in a headlock that left Alex struggling to breathe.

The attack is being investigated as a possible bias-motivated crime.

Egan faces charges of assault and harassment, with prosecutors yet to file formal charges.

    Because nobody is printing those and using those that understands or knows anything or has done a any research whatsoever into the topic. I am trying to show you the distinction between 3D printed firearms and firearms that have been modified but still are assembled from factory parts. You are very incorrectly stating that a piece of shit plastic 100% polymer non-metal build and a factory assembled upper mounted on a 3D printed lower are the same thing. They are not.

        Driving a car is dangerous. Do you plan to revoke your license. I’m not trying to be a dick, but you decided to take your family and leave this country for your own safety and now you are telling people because of potential danger that they should not protect themselves from actual threats to their lives.

          It’s cute how you’re trying to turn this into some sort of gun control thing. No one is trying to stop you from blowing your hand up if you are dead-set on doing it, certainly not me.

          As I said above:

          this isn’t even a gun control argument on my part, it’s a “be wise with what you have” argument.

          You go ahead and 3D print all the guns you want though.
