A search of his car turned up marijuana, a loaded .45-caliber automatic pistol, 200 rounds of rifle ammunition, binoculars, a camouflage jacket and the novel "Enemies Foreign and Domestic," a favorite with gun enthusiasts.

Ping.
200 rounds of rifle ammo is pretty harmless when coupled only with a loaded .45 semi-auto pistol. Most .45 semi-auto pistols have a max magazine capacity of 8 to 10 rounds. If this guy "intended to shoot up a high school football game" then it looks like he was a very poor planner.

Sounds like a run-of-the-mill libertarian to me. Ron Paul bumper sticker, by chance? :-)
“... he was a very poor planner”.
Especially since the football game had been played a few hours later. Not sure about other schools but our high school essentially tells the kids to go home after a game. Everything is wrapped up (equipment put away, players going home etc) within an hour after the game. I’m not saying this guy wasn’t a nut job but I don’t see the intent to shoot up a game. IMHO.
Didn’t Travis McGee actually write this book?
Probably a rogue ATF agent.
I think this is a Travis McGee book.
I’m a “gun enthusiast” but I’ve never heard of that book.
Someone writing this report is making up sh!t.
Ok, I have a problem with this. It is my understanding that the Federal ban on firearms on school grounds was passed, then over turned by the courts and then passed by Congress again. This guy plead guilty to having guns in his car.
I believe that any halfway intelligent lawyer could have fought this and won.
It is interesting as (my interpretation) neither of these is in conflict with Oregon State laws.
“He told the officer he had a gun and marijuana in his car...”
I can’t express the magnitude of stoopitity here.
“A search of his car turned up marijuana, a loaded .45-caliber automatic pistol, 200 rounds of rifle ammunition, binoculars, a camouflage jacket and the novel “Enemies Foreign and Domestic,” a favorite with gun enthusiasts.”
The order of creative theories bordering on Fantasy or Fairytale is incredible.
Guy had 200 rounds of rifle ammunition? I note they did not find a rifle in the car, much less one that would chamber this ammo, whatever caliber it is.
This however is the money line on lack of reason or a suppreses IQ:
HE PLEAD GUILTY!!???
To what?
Maybe he deserves to be in prison to keep him from breeding.
Yes, I write for the NY Times - why do you ask?
You bad man!
;-)
The man is 27 years old. When was he drawing on his desk?
When did that occur?
What did he plead guilty to?
I can't believe the article neglected to state that.
Got it..initially missed it.
You left out two very important words often used by the gungrabbers...
...”black” and “spray”.
I read this article in it’s entirety.
I have so many questions, regarding timelines etc, but not enough time to type them out.
Gezz..
