Video Killed the Gun Star (His License, Anyway)

You might have heard about the gun company exec who threatened, in a video, to start "killing people" if that bad man Obama (who did not make any threatening move in first term) started taking guns away from anyone.  Now, in what I would consider a surprise move, given  the culture of that region, the state of Tennesssee has revoked his firearms license.   Raw Story has background and the latest.

James Yeager, who heads the Tennessee-based company Tactical Response, issued a video Thursday in which he said, “I was mad when I said it” and “probably allowed my mouth to overrun my logic” but does not retract his statements. He admits he cut his controversial video by eliminating the part where he says he will “start killing people.” He claims he does not “condone anybody doing anything rash” or “committing any kind of felonies, up to and including aggravated assaults and murders, unless its necessary. Right now, it’s not necessary.”
