Former congressional candidate sees a Border Patrol helicopter and thinks 'a banana clip full of rounds' could do an awful lot of good

We don’t know Tom’s last name but he describes himself as a former New York congressional candidate. He’s also a socialist, anti-imperialist, and anti-colonialist living in occupied Lenape territory. You’d think he’d be for gun control and confiscation, but in this case, he’s thinking “a banana clip full of rounds from an AR-15” could do a lot of good in shooting down a DHS helicopter.

This is where a banana clip full of rounds from an AR-15 directed at that tail rotor could do an awful lot of good. #StopLine3 https://t.co/gr8IAM9ty8

A banana 'clip' is a woman's hair accessory popular in the late 80s.

That would be attempted murder, its a banana magazine not clip, and AR15s don't use banana mags

Came here to say this. I was like "WTF is throwing a hair clip at a helicopter going to do?" LoL I think he is confusing a bunch of things but whatevs.

Nothing shaped like a banana will fit an AR 15 . Clips are for hair . Magazine’s are for guns .

First of all a legal .50 cal anti-material rifle like the Barret would be better suited to the job but even then your chances of success are low.

Second are you trying to say you’d like to see federal agents assassinated?@FBI may want to have a word.

You'd kill Americans with an assault rifle?

Well the helicopter is the natural enemy of a communist so I understand why they trigger you.

Excuse me. I am just here to admire the savageness of this response.

Looking at your picture I would guess you aren't allowed within 1000 yards of an elementary school.

Do you often advocate for killing those you disagree with politically, Tom? Would you use those moral values in public office?

He’s doubling down on banana clips, thanks to Google:

Saw you don’t know anything about firearms without saying you don’t know anything about firearms

It’s a shocker he didn’t win that congressional seat.
