The standoff started after Boneys wife called 911 and said he shot at her outside their Cleveland-area home.
Boney is accused of pointing guns at deputies, yelling that he was a "warrant officer in the Texas Militia" and claiming the officers had no authority over him.

Thank you Wayne Lapierre.

hates the country and wants to make sure he destroys it. I don't get it. Where the hell were they when Bush sent our troops to get murder in a war with a country who didn't attack us? What a crazy nutty world we live in.

in the back window of his beater Jeep along with an NRA window decal yesterday. He's clearly bought into the whole "Obama's gonna take my guns away", which is the ultimate paranoid fuel that drives fundraising for them.

a little too stirred up by Wayne LaPierre's bullshit.
Just give him his guns back, and he'll be fine.
