I can see that, but I honestly don’t think it was meant in any sort of way. He’s an Iraq vet, his state and constituents produce these rounds. I know plenty of soldiers that would give inert 40mm as a gift just because it’s cool. Maybe there is a bit of an implication, but I don’t think it’s as malicious as people are claiming.

I could also be 100% wrong I don’t know the man at all.

The point is that you don't know how malicious it is. In the current climate this is easily taken as a threat.

Yeah. That’s what I said. I gave my opinion, and even said I could be totally wrong. I highly doubt it’s malicious. But it could be. Only person who knows for sure is the congressman himself.

But it’s wrong to claim it’s 100% malicious, because just like me, you don’t know.
