Even if we assume he intended no harm...

1) unregistered firearm

1/7

Va. man arrested at inauguration checkpoint says he was lost and didn’t mean to bring gun, ammunition to D.C. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/beeler-arrest-inauguration-checkpoint/2021/01/16/8597db24-5834-11eb-a817-e5e7f8a406d6_story.html

2) bumper stickers on the truck that read, “Assault Life” & “If they come for your guns give ’em your bullets first

Much can be said about a person by their bumper stickers 2/7

3) "I don’t know what the D.C. laws are"

If you carry & travel between states, you damn well better know the laws, if you are a responsible citizen. And yeah, you ARE a criminal if you break the law. 3/7

Owning a gun means greater responsibility because it's a deadly tool. So does owning a chainsaw. It is also a deadly tool if used carelessly or improperly. But you can't kill someone 20 ft away w/a chainsaw, so the gun owner has greater responsibility. #SelfResponsibility 4/7

4) He said the credential he was given had previously been enough to enter that area

If you hire a security guard too stupid to figure out there would be increased security after Jan 6, then...yeah

or he's lying 5/7

5) the pistol was chambered and ready to fire

This person should not own a gun. One should never have a chambered bullet unless they're imminently ready to fire the gun. 6/7

I'm assuming this was a white man because

"Beeler was released on personal recognizance, which prosecutors did not object to, even when the judge asked THREE times whether the government wished him to be held ahead of trial."

& police didn't shoot the man on arrest 7/7
