A Florida man said he was trying to make a “political statement” when he strolled into a Walmart (like the one in last Saturday’s El Paso shooting) and asked a clerk if they could sell him a gun to kill 200 people. (Washington Examiner)
Phil Attey, an anti-gun activist, admitted to WPTV the remark was in poor taste, but he was trying to make an anti-gun statement because he saw someone who looked like a white nationalist purchase a gun.
It “was for them [Walmart] to wake up and think about their role in the gun violence toxic climate that we have,” he said.
The clerk said Attey asked him, “Can you sell me anything (or a gun) that would kill 200 people?” When the worker replied, “That isn’t funny,” Attey said, “I know,” and asked again if they could sell him anything that would kill 200 people.
