        @aterkel Gohmert obviously didn't feel that the body count was high enough. If movie-goers were packing the body count would be doubled.

        @aterkel Doesn't surprise me at all, Amanda. He's a paranoid lunatic who has probably seen too many UFO's flying over his property.

        @aterkel Presumption of innocence is good, but presumption of sanity when buying guns and body armor is BAD.
