    The case will be presented to a grand jury within 60 days, Warren County Commonwealth’s Attorney Chris Cohron said. It was revealed by prosecutors during the hearing that Phillips has two previous weapons charges against him from 2009 and 2013 in Tennessee.

    Phillips is accused of pointing a 40 caliber Glock in Terry Pierce’s face last Saturday night at the store, following a dispute over the caps he and his wife were wearing.

    Another instance of violence directed against Trump supporters.

    This took place in a Costco-so hopefully security camera footage is availible.

    The attacker apparently has a history of multiple prior weapons charges.

    Man looks insane.

    But I got to ask - when has wearing a partisan bit of clothing ever meant great things to come: White hoods, Brown Shirts, Mao Red Star Hats ... now Red Hats ... nothing good ever comes of this stuff. Better for people to be individuals.

    It’s odd to see the red hats cheer because they are triggering the “libz” and then act surprised when an already unstable person reacts poorly...

    I am just glad the ring leader has stopped openly calling for violence.

    Glad no one hurt, but with two weapons charges against him how did he have a weapon?

    It sounds like you are blaming the victims here, or more specifically making an excuse for the attacker.

    Nope. The attacker was crazy.

    Just pointing out the long, bad history of partisan clothing.

    There is no hat that justifies this unhinged violence.

    You're the one who posted the guy had several previous weapons charges against him - this wasn't just a one time, red hat bit of crazy.

    Criminals by definition don't obey gun laws.

    That just suggests he's a criminal. You are claiming he has mental illness.

    That wasn’t what I asked, he had to come into ownership either through theft or a straw purchase. Too bad we don’t have sensible gun laws so that we can track this down.

    Gun laws will not stop thefts. We already have laws that stop are supposed to stop straw purchases. Bottom lines, gun laws are not going to stop that.

    I agree, but have someone wear a SS cap around a Holocaust Survivor or a capirote around a black person and I will bet the response is less than friendly...

    That still doesn’t address my post.

    Straw purchases are almost impossible to prove because no background check is required for a secondary sale. Gun laws would absolutely stop this.

    When does an article of clothing, justify attacking someone? You don't see/hear about conservatives attacking people on mass like you do with the left, when they disagree with someone. How many posts has @US Conservative posted that has that. I would say at least 10 so far in the past 20 day? That breaks down to 1 every 3 days.

    By definition a straw purchase is illegal. We have have laws already, yettttttt it happens.
    How you going to stop private person to person sells? You can't. Simplly put you can't. Pass more gun laws? Cool we have them already and yet it still happens?

    I thought the same, all these incidents should be stockpiled in one thread.

    Did you see what happens to a person wearing a denver Broncos jersey to an Oakland game?

    I haven’t heard him advocate for violence against anyone — he frequently denounces it in fact. Why would it be offensive to wear one?

    I don’t understand what you are having difficulty comprehending about the statement that “Straw purchases are almost impossible to prove because no background check is required for a secondary sale”. Requiring a background check on secondary transactions would absolutely impact this market and would allow prosecutors to track a weapon through the system.

    It's only a hat. Great way to back the 1st Amendment.

    Another reason to carry concealed and learn the phrase "I was in fear of my life."
