Retired professor’s gun seized by Secret Service after expressing wish to ‘shoot the president,’ claims he was referring to camera lensA former professor recently had a run-in with the Secret Service after making comments insinuating that he wanted to kill President Donald Trump.Wesley Arnold, a retired Macomb Community College professor, was questioned by the Secret Service after a series of remarks he made during a Warren City Council meeting, according to C&G Newspapers.The meeting revolved around a local Amazon store that utilizes drones to deliver packages to residents.Arnold stated that he ordered a “high-power ATL 36X” that he hoped “to actually use to shoot the president of the United States,” as shown in a recording of the meeting shared by Libs of TikTok.“I’m not kidding,” Arnold asserted.“This is a very high powerful item. It’s great for a headshot at a distance,” he continued. “I didn’t want it to be delivered by drone because I wouldn’t want something like that to be in the wrong hands.”Arnold revealed in a subsequent interview with FOX 2 Detroit that he was paid a visit by the Secret Service following the meeting, during which it seized a handgun from his residence.When asked if he would be arrested, Arnold stated, “It may or may not happen. We’ll see.”He also stated that he was not concerned about the prospect of being arrested because he is “a harmless old man” who believes “in freedom of speech.”The interviewers also questioned whether or not Arnold believed his remarks were threatening, to which he acknowledged that “it turned out that way” and that he “blew it.”Arnold claimed that the item he referenced during his remarks was a camera lens rather than a firearm, and that he has “no intent of shooting any public official, except with a telephoto lens.”A “36x,” however, is also a commonly known type of magnified optic typically used for long-range shooting.The comments were met with particular scrutiny given the attempts already made on the president’s life.
