I can just picture this dweeb pulling a pistol in a crowded theatre at night after someone with full body armour and a gas mask tosses a grenade then opens up with a semi automatic rifle. This would be a nightmare for professionals. Only a totally ignorant dipshit would even suggest such a scenario. Considering it is Gohmert who pals around with a known terrorist like Bachman it is understandable.
