Slaytanic Wehrmacht Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Megadeth's Dave Mustaine: Obama staged Wisconsin and Colorado shootings Dave Mustaine may be best known for fronting the thrash-metal band Megadeth, but he's lately implied an interest in a different kind of metal -- namely tinfoil, for folding into hats, out of an escalating and bizarre far-right paranoia. The singer told an audience at a Singapore show last week that he believed President Obama secretly planned three recent shootings as a precedent to steal Americans' guns. "Back in my country, my president is trying to pass a gun ban," he said. "So he's staging all of these murders, like the Fast and Furious thing down at the border and Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there. And now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple." The audience was reportedly perplexed by the rant, especially as Singapore wouldn't exactly be considered a five-star vacation destination by the NRA. The country has strict laws on gun ownership that are far more restrictive than America's. Mustaine had previously come out as a full-fleged "birther" on libertarian conspiratory theorist Alex Jones' radio show, suggesting Obama's birth certificate is a fraud. He also praised then-candiate Rick Santorum in the Republican primary. The rants don't seem to necessarily be hurting his band's popularity: Megadeth's latest, "Th1rt3en," topped the Billboard hard rock charts at its release last year. He joins Ted Nugent among contemporary musicians openly trafficking in conspiracy theories. But then, maybe being kicked out of Metallica just before they got really famous will make you think the world's out to get you. http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/17/entertainment/la-et-ms-megadeth-dave-mustaine-obama-20120816 God damn, Dave...if I didn't think you'd lost your mind before this...I have no doubts in my mind anymore.

Hume Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 dude is seriously dumb. i read an interview with him a while ago and the reporter asks if he supports gay marriage and he says "well no, i'm not gay." that's a bad reason not to support something.

JoeyJoeJoeJr. Shabadoo Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Rather than ban guns they should just ban them from anyone who votes republican. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudson bay rules Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Mexico has some of the toughest gun laws in the world. Unfortunately, the majority of the guns are purchased legally in the states and then smuggled into Mexico. The American gun laws frack many, many people outside their borders.

Standing_Tall#37 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Lol sad thing is he ain't the first person to say this... And just cuz he sounds paranoid doesn't make him wrong. The smartest thing the American people have done thus far is hang on to their right to bare arms. Wish Canadians took that same stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
