Madison Cawthorn wants me to buy a freakin' tank

North Carolina congressman Madison Cawthorn loves weapons. LOVES ‘em. He loves guns so much he tries to bring them on airplanes. He loves knives so much he brings them to school board meetings. He loves trees so much he ... oh, wait, no, he HATES trees.

My point is that Cawthorn, a habitual fabulist and deeply unhinged bigot, seems to love nothing more in life than owning and venerating implements of death — the bigger, the better. To him, there is no gun so deadly that it couldn’t be just a little deadlier, which is, evidently, the logic behind his latest attempt at articulating an actual policy beyond his general belief that America is primarily a country for white Christians.
