CEO Who Threatened to ‘Start Killing People’ Over Gun Control Has Handgun Permit Suspended

CEO James Yeager Has Handgun Permit Suspended After Threatening to Start Killing People

(YouTube)

The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security has suspended the handgun carry permit of James Yeager, CEO of Tactical Response, a firearms and tactical training company, who recently said he would “start killing people” if the Obama administration attempted to enact gun control through executive action.

In a statement released on Friday, state officials said they suspended Yeager’s permit based on “material likelihood of risk of harm to the public,” WTVF-TV reports.

The video of Yeager furiously denouncing the Obama administration and threatening violent action over gun control went viral on Thursday.

“The number one priority for our department is to ensure the public’s safety,” Commissioner Bill Gibbons wrote in a statement. “Mr. Yeager’s comments were irresponsible, dangerous, and deserved our immediate attention. Due to our concern, as well as that of law enforcement, his handgun permit was suspended immediately. We have notified Mr. Yeager about the suspension today via e-mail. He will receive an official notification of his suspension through the mail.”

Per TheBlaze’s previous report:

The controversial clip was purportedly published on his YouTube and Facebook pages on Jan. 9, but according to Raw Story, it was later removed and replaced with a tamed-down version.

In the original video, he started by admitting that he’s “kind of mad.” Then, he launched into a diatribe about Vice President Joe Biden’s recent claim that President Barack Obama may rely upon executive orders to tackle the issue.

“Vice President Biden is asking the president to bypass Congress and use executive privilege, executive order to ban assault rifles and to impose stricter gun control,” said Yeager. “F**k that.”

Yeager’s company, Tactical Response, has several certifications with various weapons. However, Officials with the Tennessee

Department of Safety and Homeland Security claimed Yeager was not a certified instructor with their agency.

The only way Yeager can get his handgun permit back is to ask for a review of the department’s decision in the general sessions court, according WTVF-TV.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

None too bright, Mr. Yeagar. I think there is a big difference between defending your 2nd Amendment rights against a tyrannical government action and going out and “Start killing people.” You just placed yourself into the same league as the idiots that shoot up schools, malls, & theaters. You have harmed the cause of freedom and the 2nd Amendment rights of US citizens.

We are collectively angry that the talk of violating the Constitution & taking our rights away, but we must remain smart in our comments and our actions for as soon as we look and act like the nuts on the far left, we become those that we despise. We stand in support of God & the Constitution, we need to act like it.

  I channel surfed across MSNBC and one would think gun control is the single most important issue of our tme(now that the president is reelected). We must not respond to this assault on the Constitution with emotion or it will provide the other side “ammunition” because while it is a good thing essentially no one watches MSNBC, crazy emotional rhetoric makes great headlines on other networks

  If you read the comments on the other article, all the Blazers were saying what a patriot this guy is. I say he’s a dumba$$ that can’t control himself. This guy may say he’s on our side but you don’t want everyone that says he’s your friend in your foxhole. He can’t control his emotions nor his actions. He went through the trouble of making a video, producing and editing it then posting it to YouTube. In that time, he still couldn’t calm down and come to his senses. He made himself a target and now he’s paying for it. Keep this jerk away from me.

  Your comparison of Yeager to homicidal maniacs is too much. Let us keep it real up in here. His outburst was excessive, and his mistake was letting it go viral. Apparently he self-moderated, and released a milder version. Our cause has not been ruined. Gooberment will infringe further no matter how “perfectly” we respond. AmeriKa is coming. Owebama is rejoicing.
  
  How does the Tennessee Dept of Tyranny suspending Yeager’s handgun carry permit make the public safer? Words on paper are ignored by criminals. Signs are ignored by criminals. They–gasp–don’t even care what babies think! Our world is dangerous. Feel great about your decision Bill Gibbons, yet another tiny step towards the 4th Reich!! Kudos.

  Your support for the anti-first amendment thought police is revolting.
  
  You do represent the mealy-mouthed conservatives well, though. The conservatives who are presently handing the US over to collectivists, oh, so politely.
  
  I’m sure your ilk would have had a “tsk, tsk” for those speaking out against the King back in the day, had they gone “nuts” and started threatening the redcoats too severely.
  
  So, to recap, we can say we fear tyranny, but we shouldn’t state that we would do anything about it, or we’re just like the enemy. Got it, brave genius.

  Now where is the confiscation of property for all those whom threatened to kill the NRA president, members, and other Republicans, Conservative or gun owners? Give the man his damn permit back. The right to carry arms shall not be infringed! He’s committed no crime, nor has he been credibly evaluated and determined to a risk to society. If he’s a risk, then so is Tarentino for making such a provocative movie which even made Farrakhan make statements about coming race wars.

  Excuse me. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but does the First Amendment not say that, “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech…”
  
  This man, this patriot, was exercising his God given right to freedom of speech. These rights come from God and cannot – I repeat, cannot – be taken away by man.
  
  Evidently the Government, in their infinite wisdom, has decided that all speech is not protected by the Constitution of the United States of America, despite the Constitution and despite that freedom of speech is an unalienable right of man given by the Almighty God, like gun ownership. Where the Founders joking when they said “shall not be abridged?”
  
  Hitler and Stalin and Mao and dictators before them, as a first step to subjugate their populations, restricted their freedom of speech. That is what every tyrant does and has always done. They take baby steps in order to inure the population to their insidious plans. First you can’t talk about this, then there is something else you can’t talk about and so on. Are you stupid? History shows this is the first step in enslaving and then destroying a freedom loving people.
  
  Our Constitution, the one put forth by our beloved Founders, was clear on this point. How much more clear can you be than “shall not be abridged”?
  
  And you sheep just follow along. Why don’t you just voluntarily step on that train to Auschwitz?

  Do your due diligence, people. Yeager has a long history of stupid statements. He is the guy who violates one of the four sacred rules of gun handling by shooting with people down range. When called on it, he makes the statement that safety does not exist.
  
  When I critiqued one of his videos, he blocked me from further comment, then sent a threatening email to me wanting to meet up and settle it. He is a coward, stupid, and a loose cannon.

  We should stay focused on the issue in a civil manner and stand our ground when it comes to the Constitution. The Constitution is our only defense and that is what is was designed to do. The ultimate target of progressives and commies is the Constitution.

  Assuming that SendTheMeteors is not being sarcastic, they are correct.
  
  The state apparently must approve of your speech before they allow you to exercise your natural 2nd amendment rights. I don’t care if you think the speaker a moron, a wannabe, or over the top. Nothing he said was incitful nor was he given his 4th amendment rights of due process.
  
  The next of you who claims we live in a free country needs to be laughed at. We live in a fascist country. There is no right that is not abridged, mitigated, controlled, regulated, or requires approval. The soldiers you thank for your “freedom” have been maimed, murdered, and run through a ringer in a sick and twisted joke. The original purpose of the first amendment is to protect speech from prosecution that is objectional. What a f’ning joke the first amendment is. What sick twisted joke “freedom” has become. Make sure you watch your mouth, or the government is coming to get you.

  valiant1776 “Now where is the confiscation of property for all those whom threatened to kill the NRA president, members, and other Republicans, Conservative or gun owners?”
  
  For the law to be legitimate it must be equal. Many videos exist showing the NBP marching around with pistols and assault rifles and screaming kill all the white people. Including the specifically mentioned white (*******) babies. Use of this terms adds race hate. Nothing was said by anyone in government nor was any action ever taken. They still march around with rifles and pistols training for their part in the new ‘citizen army armed as well as the military’ that ‘that guy’ claims he must have. Why has the DHS said nothing nor removed a single weapon from any member of the NBP Party? This guy claimed he would take action if they first violated every tenet of the law created by the founding fathers. Yet the NBP Party needs no wrong by any white person, they just want to indiscriminately start killing white children for no other reason than their vile evil rabid hatred of a race which God also created when He created their race. Evil incarnate. Not to mention all statistics already have proven they are the most murder prone through gun violence race in America. Why do they who incite the murder of white people for no reason still have their assault weapons. After all their death threats had no delimiter of any prior action by their intended victims. Why has the DHS said nothing about them.

  Hasn’t anyone noticed that the Tenn. Dpt of Safety and Homeland Security suspended Yeager’s permit based on “material likelihood of risk of harm to the public,”. According to them suspending his permit means there is no longer any danger to the public. Boy, that certicate must be a powerful weapon. They just disarmed him! I would have thought that if they really believed he was a threat they would have also taken his weapon and/or weapons or even jailed him. Taking the certifcate is no more that a show.

  This is a perfect example of trying to use force to win an argument and not reason and strategy to win the war. Fighting does not always mean the physical aspect it. Remember Sun Tzu.
  
  You can either train to fight or train to win to totally different things. The US has a good examples of both. The last war we won was WWII, since then we have fought to fight and not fought to win.
  
  So lets go study up on the problem, form logical arguments (It is a Human Right to defend yourself, against a single attacker, multiple attackers, and tyrants who we helped overthrow during the Arab Spring). Open the argument with a the intent to get them in a Check or Check Mate.
  
  Life is a Basic Human Right (they love those words)
  Then protection of that right is an extension of my Basic Human Right
  Protection against one or multiple attackers
  Can a tyrant government be classified as multiple attackers, as in Libya, Syria, Egypt?
  
  Use the presidents (any president not just Dear Leader, Bush and the Patriot Act) own words against them, on the Arab Spring, over reaching government, transparent government. Site laws that have been in acted that have violated basic forms of trust and morals, (sign it before reading it)
  
  Site how much the average person love Congress and the Senate.
  
  How much money they (all of our elected officials) made before the insider Trading Loop Hole was closed (Hey trust me as I will push it to the limit of the law and you will have to watch me like a hawk)

  I agree that Mr. Yeager might have crossed the line in making such statements public, but in the context of defending our 2nd Amendment rights, I wouldn’t be so quick to condemn him.. Any law abiding gun owner who does understand the ultimate goal of socialism to disarm the masses is in denial. I have no reason to believe that Yeager was simply going to go out and “start killing people” without a compelling reason. So, I ask all you stellar supporters of the constitution, specifically the 2nd A, what are you going to do when they come for your guns?

  Him losing his permit was nothing more then an excuse to make one more person unable to legally carry and was in retaliation to making them mad. It’s pretty inexcusable that they took his permit away because he was being a *ss and running his mouth.
  
  I always thought the anger and vitriol in his videos was just an act. Starting to wonder, and he did give me the opinion that he is more likely to be a hazard in situation in which a weapon had to be pulled. His instance that for a gun to be viable for concealed carry it couldn’t have an operated safety such as a Glock(which can be dangerous if you don’t keep high tabs of your equipment such as holsters, very easy for a worn holster to get caught and work the trigger.) is utterly moronic, it’s def a consideration in picking a CC gun, but you got to be familiar with it and understand what it means, something he doesn’t go into. Also the fact that he insists that a person needs several 15-31 shot clips makes me think he can’t shoot for **** and would hit everyone but the guy he was intending to take down.
  
  All in all though, I object to the state suspending one right because someone used the other in a way they didn’t approve. If they felt he was a viable threat, they would have actually done something to protect people such as throwing him in mental health hospital or took his guns away, instead of sending him a little piece of paper saying that his other little piece of paper isn’t any good now.

  Cavello, sorry to bust your bubble but I was being sarcastic. The correct word would be “sardonic” but whatever.
  
  Because we have at least some adult judges, including some adult supreme court judges, there are reasonable restriction on your freedom of speech. Do you think that in Colonial days, if someone with a bunch of guns said he was going to assassinate the President that the Founders would have said the Constitution protects this person and that nothing could be done to prevent him from carrying out that threat?
  
  I see in your post the statement that “Nothing he said was incitful (sic)…” So you seem to agree that speech that incites to others to violence can be restricted. Correct? But since he said he was himself going to kill people, that’s okay? So no one can do anything until he actually pulls the trigger? A person can say he’s about to start killing people and, hey, that’s okay? And only a tyrannical responds to threat because of “freedom of speech”?
  
  Regardless of what you believe, it’s not okay and not legal. And those restrictions are rightfully enshrined in legal precedent. If your neighbor, an owner of a shotgun, said he was going to kill you if you stepped out of your door, you might change your mind about that.

  “CEO Who Threatened to ‘Start Killing People’ Over Gun Control Has Handgun Permit Suspended”
  
  So what do you people think of this:
  
  “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” (U.S. Declaration Of Independence)
  
  You think it’s going to be a “polite” throw off of tyranny?
  You think it’s going to be a “strong language” throw off of tyranny?
  You think they are going to come against you with “reasoned arguments” & a cup of coffee?
  
  James Yeager said nothing not already in the Law Of The Land:
  “I’m no going to put up with it. And you shouldn’t put up with it. Now I need all you Patriots to start thinking about what you’re going to do, load your damn mags, make sure your rifle’s clean, pack up a backpack with some food in it, and get ready to fight. I’m not fûcking putting up with this. I’m not letting my country to be ruled by a dictator. I’m not letting anybody take my guns. IF IT GOES ONE INCH FURTHER [ruled by dictator, coming to take our guns], I’M GOING TO START KILLING [the dictator's] PEOPLE.”
  Got it?

This is actually a part that makes me nervous, the fact that if they do come after our guns, posting on these sites and saying things like ‘MOLON LABE’ are going to be used as evidence.

Heck not a word of criticism came up when Peirs Morgan laughed about shooting Alex Jones. Then I suppose it is perfectly acceptable for Obamao to arm the very Folks that murdered our Ambassador. This guy was simply exercising his FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT. PERIOD.

  It doesn’t matter if the President would really do it or not
  ***
  So a politician can make a conditional threat of breaking the Constitution & abrogating civil rights & he is not considered a criminal.
  
  That is what Chet implied. Chet so implied because he is upset of this CEO enough to post here & give his “logical” argument, but he did not bat an eyelid at the president’s conditional threat.

  “:Threatening” to do something that is not illegal is not illegal. There is no law making it a crime for politicians to try to exceed their authority. It was always expected that this would happen, and it is up to the other branches of government to restrain them.

The article states they took his “permits” but did they take his weapons? It also stated he needed to go to court to get “his handgun permit back” – but it didn’t say if they took the handgun. I don’t think they did. This guy was stupid freedom of speech doesn’t mean you can around threatening violence or to provoke violence (although I think that is what the government is doing).

  Yes he should have, but maybe it needed to be said. Maybe it will take the left aback. Then again I do not think it does anymore. They know they are given passes on their statements, but if a someone says the same thing they are crucified. The left knows this so they purposely tweak the right hoping to set someone off & then yell” SEE, SEE!”
  
  Someone said the Louis Farahkhan came out ion support of Caleb Russell. That should be news. I can’t find it, but the specific instance does not matter. People not only want guns because of break- ins & gangs. They want guns because of people like Louis Farahkhan. It infuriates people when Farahkhan has legitimacy on the left & nothing is done to stop it.
  
  Without the racial stats shown in FBI UCR table #6, gangs & racist groups people would not be anywhere near as agitated. The left just acts like people do not have no problems. they just are blaise & blithe as can be.

YOU (the Conservative) say ANYTHING that the Libs don’t like, and they’ll shut you down faster than you can crap. But it’s “OK” for the Union members to not only openly threaten your life and saying “I’ve got a gun”, it’s also completely acceptable for the Union to beat the snot out of anyone who stands against them. All while being shown on video – and not one word mentioned by the Libs.

Hush your mouth America, or “they’ll” get you. Hitler tought them well – we are seeing it happen right now – and yet most are turning on their favorite “reality show” because THAT’S more important than realizing your neighbor’s mouth has been publicly shut by the Libs. WAKE UP!

Yes, he said “kill”. I understand the fallout. But the next time YOUR teen goes off on you and saying “I hate you” and “I’m gonna kill you”, then you had damm well better slap their beak across the room like Daffy Duck. I’m sick of some smart mouth “teen” telling me “I’ll kill you”. So Libs, now I don’t care if it’s your kid or my brothers kid. I’m gonna paste his mouth so hard, he’ll have to eat strained pea’s for six weeks! “Oh…that’s against his civil rights”. Screw that! Americans DON’T have rights anymore. LOOK AROUND YOU, INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY HAVING YOUR FAT FACE STUCK IN YOUR I-PHONE!!!

  It is people like libmarine that set up ROE that gets people killed. Like putting guards on duty with empty magazines.
  
  Training & weapons do not matter without the will to use them.
  
  I think back to the film “The Untouchables”. I can see Sean Connery’s character libmarine asking him what he is prepared to do. The answer is not pretty.

How much do we have to lose before we support men with the backbone to speak up to tyrants. Keep on supporting these panty wearing men and you will be getting free “showers” in the FEMA camps. Nice did not work in 1776, it will not work in 2013. Ask McCain and Romney. They are “nice” losers.

The Constitution doesn’t say he needs a Permit (permission).

The Time is near, Folks. Prepare.

It is the Americans and their Sovereignty vs. the International Banksters and their New World Order.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“When the Federal Reserve Act was passed, the people of these United States did not perceive that a world banking system was being set up here. A super-state controlled by international bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure. Every effort has been made by the Fed (Reserve) to conceal its powers but the truth is — the Fed has usurped the government!”

- Congressman Louis McFadden, Chairman of House Comm. on Banking and Currency from 1920 to 1931

  You can’t go around pointing out facts like this. Even “conservatives” call it conspiracy thinking.
  
  I’m a fan of Chuck’s videos. He is intense, even before recent events. I wonder, is the goal to remain quiet and collected while our Constitution is in it’s death throws, do we heatedly express our disastisfaction like Yeager did?
  
  It’s clear people don’t like his response. But, how ARE we to respond? Regardless of what pro 2nd Ammendment people believe, our right to bear arms is NOT permitted in court. All modern rulings oppose civilians owning and, more importantly using firearms.
  
  What now? Break the law or obey it and renounce the Constitution. It seems that black and white to me.

Bill Gibbons is an idiot and/or doing the bidding of idiots.

James Yeager did not threaten a specific person. He verbalized his anger with the Despotic turn Owebama et al have begun to glorify. Gooberment has WAY more power than it needs, or can even handle. And they want more of it. Much, much more. It is like the ring of power in LotRs, corrupting their brains, hearts, and souls.

Don’t get mad or the Gooberment will negate your right to bear arms. And all in the name of the Tennessee Dept of Tyranny! God help us all.

Well, he did threaten to start killing people.

I saw this rant the other day in a different place and I have to say that you just can’t go around saying you’re going to start killing people without losing your right to concealed carry a gun. I know what he meant. I know he was angry. I also know that if he can’t keep himself from saying something that stupid in a public forum, then he doesn’t deserve the permit.

This was kind of like Akin’s “legitimate rape” comment as far as how stupid it was. Everyone knew what he was talking about and knew it was based on dated information, but the fact that he could not keep himself from saying it disqualified him from his run for office.

  So, the unions and the OWS folks said the same and worse and they said it multiple times. I am pretty sure that some of those union folks had CCWs and I have not heard of any of those folks getting their permit pulled. This is very concerning. But this is just like that tool Gregory not getting charged with a weapons violation in DC, if they like you, they ignore any pesky law that gets in your way.

I say speak with facts, logic and show the world we are your neighbors, we are families and we are business owners.

  Yes. Just where is that peak in the “bell curve?” Where is that point where the keepers of the oath mass, and move? Where is the new age Jefferson Davis (hopefully no Richard Ewells will be in command during any battle of significance)? What is it going to take? These elite, Marxist, baron robber international bankers and such are patient. They have all the time, they have all the money. This is merely incrementalism. Soon, it will be too late, as those of us who really understand will be too old and sick (hello death squads, BY INTENT WITH OBAMACARE) to act. They know it. I know it. You know it. I have maybe 10 more years left to kick tail. I wish they’d hurry up and light the fuse. I hate that it came crashing down on my watch, but as a kid growing up, I could see this coming a mile away. I knew LBJ was a fraud. I knew the JFK murder as an inside job. The United States government is a monster. I can ALMOST give Arabs (“death to America”) a pass. They don’t hate Americans (although they believe they do), they hate the American government. We have a dictator/commandante, not a President.

  William Eaton attacked the port Derne in the Barbary War with 8 Marines & about half a thousand Arabs & Christians during the Barbary Wars.
  
  He was engaged in REGIME CHANGE. The point of his spec ops mission was to Depose Yussef Karamli & install hi solder brother Hamet. The result would be to get a favorable treaty with Tripoli (Libya). That is one where we id not pay tribute & where our sailors would not be held hostage (about 300).
  
  Interesting point is that after the revolutionary war he was not part of a well organized militia & yet he kept is guns & was a damn fine shot.
  
  In short he was no insipid Encinom who plays semantic games in order to interpret the Constitution.

  That could be the problem, he submitted in the first place to allowing his ability to keep and bear arms to be restricted, now they believe it is possible to remove his right, not true. The first ten amendments are not rights given they are a declaration of restrictions on government, they are individual and not part of some collective decision.

This is nothing more than classic conservative cowardice. All sack and no balls. The first time one of you tin can patriots gets called on your candyass bravado you start whimpering . . .”I DIDN’T say that . . .I DIDN”T I DIDN”T I DIDN’T!”
  
  You people’s problem isn’t Obama or liberals or the media or whatever boogeymen Rush tells you to fear. The only problem you have is a serious lack of guts.
  
  It is so.
