Or, in the words of Charles Pierce, “this is still the best country ever in which to peddle complete public lunacy.”
When I imagine Rubio, with his whiny little boy voice and his scared doe eyes bravely clutching a gun to his chest as he sits at home staring at the door through which scary ISIS fighters can irrupt at any moment, I thank Providence I’m not a comic because there is no chance of outdoing this in terms of comedic effect.
Not to mention thst he is hardly ever home. He will be several states away on the campaign trail when the terrorists show up.

Wow. I thought this was a joke or an exaggeration and I followed the link and it was true. Public lunacy indeed.

It’s posturing. As if he wouldn’t already have asked for Secret Service protection or hired a security firm to go along with the alarm system and the attack dogs for his home.
I don’t know why people don’t actually realize this. Rich people don’t sit at home clutching a shotgun by their bed when they have better options available, like safe spaces (aka panic rooms). Of course, there’s always the risk your hired guns will turn on you.
This weird image doesn’t even survive the first layer of paranoid analysis. Shotguns are not terribly useful against suicide bombers which IS uses quite a bit of; they don’t care if they die and you want to live.

Oh, of course. He’s trying to court the vote of the anxious nut crowd. But it’s still hilarious this image of pathetic powerlessness is what he thinks he needs to build up to attract voters.
