24. The problem with this is that you can't be sure he won't just start shooting.

Is he a mass murder, pretending to be a typical law abiding, AR-15 toting, white supremacist jackass?
Or is he just looking for the right situation to set him off, so he can justify killing a whole bunch of people? Or is he just so effin' insecure that he needs to carry an assault rifle to feel safe?
Or does he enjoy making other people feel afraid?

The fact is we don't know; except for the last one...we can be sure it makes other people fear for their lives, and I'm sure he likes that.
