HONOLULU - Federal agents have arrested a Hawaii man after he allegedly threatened to attack and kill President-elect Barack Obama when he visits Hawaii on vacation this month.

Mark Miyashiro allegedly made the threats Dec. 3 to a doctor who is treating him for a schizophrenic disorder, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court on Friday.

Miyashiro then allegedly made more threats when Secret Services agents interviewed and arrested him at his home in Kaneohe the next day after the doctor notified authorities. They also confiscated a Russian SKS assault rifle.

2. and let's not forget on the nutjobs back here in mainland...

buying up guns like they're going out of style.

YAY for crazy republicans!!:sarcasm:

3. I'm surprised he was even arrested.

Those redneck whackjobs that were caught with the assault rifle and admitted to wanting to kill Obama were let go, by a Bush-appointed judge. They were deemed "not a threat".

Why are the mentally ill allowed to have firearms? I'm ready for the flames, but really now...the 2nd Amendment can only go so far.

4. if the mentally ill aren't allowed firearms,

how will the freeptards get rid of themselves?
