James Yeager, CEO Who Threatened To 'Start Killing People,' Has Gun Permit Suspended

James Yeager, the CEO who recently threatened to "start killing people" if President Barack Obama pursued an expansion on gun control, has had his gun permit suspended.

Authorities with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security told Newschannel 5 the suspension was based on "material likelihood of risk of harm to the public."

In a statement to the station, Commissioner Bill Gibbons said:

The number one priority for our department is to ensure the public's safety. Mr. Yeager's comments were irresponsible, dangerous, and deserved our immediate attention. Due to our concern, as well as that of law enforcement, his handgun permit was suspended immediately. We have notified Mr. Yeager about the suspension today via e-mail. He will receive an official notification of his suspension through the mail

Ditto the student who shot-up the school in California.

Too bad these same authorities refused to act as quickly on those occassions as it seems none of these rampages happen spontaneously.

I don't see this ending all that well. Guy's crazy as hell and armed. Hopefully it's just posturing macho bullshit.

Oh, I know, this law abiding citizen would not think of using his guns without his permit. Problem solved. Right?

This is crazy. They impound cars based on DUIs in some cases. Does anyone believe this world is now a safer place because his permit has been revoked? Anyone?
