We mentioned yesterday that Sen. Lori Klein pointed a pistol at Republic reporter Richard Ruelas’ chest during an interview about guns.
Klein has since claimed that Ruelas sat down in front of the laser sight on her gun while a photographer was taking pictures, so it was his fault that she violated basic gun-safety rules.
Ruelas has a recorded interview that shows that Klein is lying about her version of events.

An Arizona lawmaker pointing a loaded gun at a reporter should really be no big surprise to anyone. They’re all a bunch of gun nuts who will not be satisfied until everybody is “armed and dangerous.”
