~~neutralized~~ Put down like the POS it was.
Well they did learn to not use Gun-Person again.

Which then begs the question.....

What was IT?
Trans, Pronoun, Left, Islamic, Cartel, Illegal, Anit-FA, BLM, National Socialist party campaign worker, and will we know BEFORE its social media tracks are cleaned up?

BTW: Did I miss any of the actual Nazi, Fascists and Anti-MAGA types?

4 The guy that drove into the power station also chose a shotgun and gasoline. Curious symmetry.

Mar-a-Lago shotgun-wielding madman ID’d as North Carolina golf course artist

Published Feb. 22, 2026, 11:34 a.m. ET
The crazed gunman who was shot dead after trying to enter Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and a gas can has been identified as a North Carolina artist who was reported missing by his mom.

Austin Tucker Martin, 21, of Cameron, North Carolina, was killed by law enforcement in the early hours of Sunday morning, law enforcement sources told The Post.

He was reported missing by his family to authorities on Saturday.

Officials are still investigating whether he bought the gun en route to Florida.

According to his social media, his family was frantically looking for him after he disappeared on Saturday night.

Tucker Martin’s social media shows that he was obsessed with drawing scenes from the golf courses in the Sandhills region — which includes the famed Pinehurst.

7 Seems most likely that he had some type of psychological disconnect. Trump was in DC. An ineffective assassination and a waste of gas.

9 News Nation Now:

Austin Tucker Martin was quiet, afraid of guns: Cousin

Martin’s cousin, Braeden Fields, described Martin as a quiet kid who came from a family of avid Trump supporters.

“He’s a good kid,” Fields stated. “I wouldn’t believe he would do something like this. It’s mind-blowing.”

Fields added Martin was afraid of guns and didn’t discuss politics. “He wouldn’t even hurt an ant. He doesn’t even know how to use a gun,” said Fields.
