Kris Kobach made his way through a parade in Johnson County Saturday morning, waving from an American flag colored jeep with a large gun mounted in back.

The city of Shawnee later issued an apology for Kobach's display.

The sight of Kobach, a Republican candidate for Kansas governor, in the vehicle at the Old Shawnee Days parade stunned some onlookers and quickly sparked criticism on social media.

“It was pretty shocking," said pastor Johnny Lewis of Shawnee Community Christian Church. "There were audible gasps from the folks we were sitting by.”

1. WTF is the message of a machine gun on a civilian vehicle??

2. Kansas has "open carry" . Why can't they have "open ride"?

Don'tja support the open range? Why that's why they got that song, "Don't Fence Me In".

3. Just a quick read of his Wikipedia profile tells a lot. Not about the machine gun, but about him

Apparently his mentor at Harvard was Samuel P. Huntington. Huntington believes that America already has more than enough Democracy, thank you very much, and diluting the voting pool with immigrants is not acceptable. Sound familiar? Huntington sees Mexicans in the U.S. as the equivalent of Muslims in Europe. In other words, not white Christians.
