Suspect Accused of Threatening House GOP Leaders Had Ammo, Gun Receipts, Affidavit Says

A New York man who was accused of leaving angry and threatening voicemails for House Republicans Rep. Steve Scalise and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers was in possession of 200 rounds of ammunition, police said.

The ammo was discovered at the home of Carlos Bayon, the 63-year-old suspect.

And along with the ammo, police discovered receipts for an assault rifle and a handgun.

From Fox News:

Carlos Bayon, 63, was charged last week with leaving the messages for House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., and Republican Conference Chairwoman Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash.

The messages appeared to reference President Trump’s immigration policy and included the warnings: “You are taking ours, we are taking yours.”

According to the affidavit, filed Friday in federal court in Buffalo, investigators found 150 rounds of rifle ammunition and 50 rounds of shotgun shells. They also spotted a 2004 receipt for an SKS assault rifle and a 1987 receipt for a .38-caliber revolver but did not find any firearms, the document showed.

Authorities also said they found books in Bayon’s home that included the titles “How to create a foolproof new identity,” “Middle Eastern Terrorist Bomb Designs,” and Silent But Deadly: homemade silencers.”

The contents of the affidavit were first reported by NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune.

Scalise, 52, is the No. 3 House Republican leader and is considered a potential successor to retiring Speaker Paul Ryan. McMorris Rodgers is the House GOP’s No. 4 leader.

Scalise was among five people wounded last year after a gunman attacked a Republican baseball practice. He was grievously injured and was hospitalized for more than a month. He now relies largely on crutches and an electric scooter to move around the Capitol. Capitol Police and other officers killed the gunman in that attack.

Wow…it seems that Democrats seem to love guns as well (at least when they can be used against their enemies). Remember that guy who tried to shoot our President last year? And the British young man as well, which was notably barely covered by American media:

Meanwhile….Facebook, Google, Twitter, etal are tripping all over themselves to ban conservative sites and talking pts. for alleged hate speech. Yet, the number of vicious attacks by the progs since late 2016 are approaching 600, but they are not being de-listed. Go figure.

The degree of political incivility in this country is like that of a trashy marriage headed toward an inevitable divorce. Gone are the days of the “loyal opposition”. It has transcended from vapid civility to open warfare, as the armed attack on Scalise has demonstrated.
