A 49-year-old Las Vegas man was arrested near former President Donald Trump's rally in Coachella on Saturday with a loaded firearm and a high-capacity magazine, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said Sunday.

Deputies assigned to the rally contacted the driver of a black SUV at a checkpoint near the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive just before 5 p.m. Saturday, sheriff's officials said.

They allegedly found the driver in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine. The driver was identified as Vem Miller, and was taken into custody and later booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center on suspicion of possessing a loaded firearm and possessing a high-capacity magazine.

That's AGAINST his Second Amendment Rights! UNLESS He Kills someone FIRST he can Carry whatever Gun he wants! NOT BE INFRINGED NOT BE INFRINGED!

What about all the good guys with guns? We can stop this guy with guns in his car but school shootings? Impossible to prevent.

Is it my imagination or are these dim-witted assassins getting easier to catch. Trump didn't even get to bandage his ear this time.

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Nothing really points to him being a wannabe assassin, other than the fact that he had guns near where Trump was and bogus paperwork. The guy's a sovcit. Being armed to the teeth and having fake papers is what they do. As for why he'd be at a Trump rally, well... it's the same reason you'd find klansmen dancing around a burning cross. Guarantee the Trumpers are going to throw this guy under the bus immediately, though, despite the fact that there's nothing indicating he wanted to kill Trump, and despite a lot of Trumpers being open carriers themselves.

Probably just an average Trump fan who thinks the law doesn't apply to him.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I thought that 75% of Trump rally people were armed regularly.

A lot of those attendees glad the cops didn't check their vehicle

Was the magazine for the handgun? Cause high capacity for a shotgun is like 7 shells.
