Washington Examiner – by Hunter Lovell
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham claimed on Friday that he owns an AR-15 to protect himself in case of a hurricane or another scenario in which law enforcement would not be able to defend him.
The South Carolina senator made the comments to reporters aboard Air Force One that he maintains an AR-15 in case “there’s a hurricane, a natural disaster, no power, no cops, no anything.”
His remarks were first revealed by Voice of America on Twitter. A reporter then asked him to clarify if he meant the semiautomatic rifle was for looters.
“Yeah, people, they’re not going to come to the AR-15 home,” Graham responded. “Well, I think if you show up on the porch with an AR-15, they’ll probably go down the street.”
On Air Force One, @LindseyGrahamSC tells reporters he owns an AR-15 in case "there's a hurricane, a natural disaster, no power, no cops, no anything" and looters will know not "to come to the AR-15 home."

Graham, a staunch defender of gun rights, posted a picture of himself shooting an AR-15 at a gun range in Greenville, South Carolina, in 2013.

Graham also said during a Senate hearing on gun control following the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, that he owned an AR-15 and was uncertain about regulating gun owners’ rights.
“You could find yourself in this country in a lawless environment from a natural disaster or a riot,” Graham said. “I have an AR-15 at home, and I haven’t hurt anybody, and I don’t intend to do it.”
His most recent comments follow two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, last weekend, which took the lives of over 30 people.
Quick! Someone confiscate his gun. Tell the police he’s not of sound mind and is a danger to himself and others and therefore needs his gun confiscated. Just look at the picture. He’s ready to massacre everyone in that room. He’s a lone wolf shooter ready to shoot and kill everyone in that room without a moments hesitation! I fear for those people standing around him. He’s a an Israeli homosexual sympathizer who’s going on a state of terror and rampage against the BDS movement. Don’t you see his manifesto on the table there? For cryin’ out loud, the police need to surround the building and take him out!
Oh wait, he’s a Zionist so therefore he’s exempt from any gun control propaganda. I get it. It’s called hypocrisy.
What I learned about gun safety from our loving Senator Graham:
1. You don’t need to wear earmuffs when shooting in an indoor gun range.
2. It’s perfectly ok for people to cross the yellow line and into the line of fire so long as it’s a government politician who has the gun in his hands because after all, what could go wrong?
Hes got a pink one
“… he maintains an AR-15 in case “there’s a hurricane, a natural disaster, no power, no cops, no anything.”
