Parents Freaking OUT: Dude Chillaxes On Porch Daily With Rifle Across Street From Elementary School (VIDEO)

Well, well. The ammosexuals are losing their minds right about now. They obviously see the election of the NRA’s big guy as a license to tote those weapons wherever they’d like to tote them.

A story coming out of Wichita Kansas is absolute proof that the gun nuts are out of control.

KWCH TV in Wichita reports that a man, who only wants to be known as “Kyle,” has been sitting on his front porch every day with his loaded rifle in his hands.

“Kyle” doesn’t think its a real big deal. He says he’s a hunter, and he likes his gun, and he sure does like to hunt.

The problem is, ol’ Kyle lives right across the street from an elementary school.

So while kids under ten years old are walking back and forth to school, they have to pass by the front porch of good old boy Kyle, who’s a-setting on his rocker with his weapon across his knees.

Of course, four short years after 20 little innocent children were blown to bits at an elementary school by an angry man with a gun, a lot of parents are just a bit nervous about having their kids pass by a man with a loaded weapon every day.

There are so many questions that could be asked here. Questions like, “Why the hell do you need to sit on your front porch in the suburbs with your gun loaded?” And questions like, “Don’t you have a job, or something useful to do with your time?”

Kyle has reportedly been in some confrontations with neighbors over parking spaces, but he denies being upset or angry.

Sure.

He’s just a nice, calm, serene man who sits on his porch with a loaded weapon as he watches groups of little children pass by on their way to their elementary school.

Unfortunately, in a country that is completely under the thumb of the National Rifle Association, Kyle’s fixation with his big old gun is completely legal.

There’s nothing that the parents of little scared children can do to get Kyle to put his gun away while the kids are passing by.

What do you say about a country that puts the right to fondle your weapon in public over the right of a first grader to walk to school in safety?
