A 49-year-old Las Vegas man was arrested near former President Donald Trump’s rally in Coachella on Saturday with a loaded firearm and a high-capacity magazine, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said Sunday.
Deputies assigned to the rally contacted the driver of a black SUV at a checkpoint near the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive just before 5 p.m. Saturday, sheriff’s officials said.
They allegedly found the driver in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine. The driver was identified as Vem Miller, and was taken into custody and later booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center on suspicion of possessing a loaded firearm and possessing a high-capacity magazine.
That’s AGAINST his Second Amendment Rights! UNLESS He Kills someone FIRST he can Carry whatever Gun he wants! NOT BE INFRINGED NOT BE INFRINGED!
high-capacity magazine
Notice how they never tell you what high capacity is.
A normal handgun–as in, a regular Glock 17–will have magazines that hold anywhere from 13-21 rounds in a bone-stock configuration, depending on caliber. The only firearms that don’t have this kind of capacity are micro-compacts, and guns that were originally designed by John Moses Browning before WWII.
This is sleight of hand to make it seem like the perpetrator was doing something deeply nefarious, when damn near any defensive handgun is going to have a “high capacity” magazine straight from the factory.
The guy interviewed Ivan Raiklin a couple weeks ago who is the “secretary of retribution.” Ivan Raiklin was on Info Wars talking with Jones about how if Trump were assassinated, it would be the best case scenario for Republicans because Vance would be the candidate then and then Republicans would commit a “cleansing.”
This seems like a bit of a conspiracy against Trump but it is coming from the right.

I’ve said since the debate that something seems weird. It very much feels like Vance fully expects to be president, not VP. I don’t know why or how that would come about, but he’s not running like a typical VP.

Serious question: Is that a crime?
I know in California it is. Any magazine that holds more than 10 rounds is considered “high capacity” and is illegal.
Not sure on the loaded firearm bit… California gun laws are crazy restrictive.
I’m by no means a gun nut, but I do own & carry firearms and California’s laws have always seemed crazy to me.
I need to look up the rules on knives… Can I open carry a sword? Perhaps a spiked cudgel? Ooh! Polearm!?
Kidding, slightly…
Oh, but it was ok in 2009 when a guy attended an event that Obama was speaking at with an assault rifle? These Republicans sure don’t like people to exercise their right to bear arms.
Yeah, because the was outside at a rally in Arizona. That would be legal today as well. There are really dramatic differences in gun laws state to state. It’s kind of staggering, especially when the states border each other. California and Arizona is a great example. NH and Mass. NY and Penna.
In one state, carrying a magazine that can hold 11 bullets, even if you don’t have a gun and it has no bullets actually in it, is illegal. Cross the state line, and you can openly carry an AR15 with a bullet in the chamber, safety disengaged, and a 50-round magazine in the rifle and walk down main street.
It’s pretty nuts.
