Desperately trying to stay relevant, Hollywood has-been Tom Arnold has taken to twitter to call for an armed confrontation with Trump supporters by urging black men and “us white liberal men” to borrow their dads’ hunting rifles and go “nose to nose with Trump’s gang of misfit tools.”
2nd Amendment is for everyone including black men with long guns but it's fucking time for us white liberal men to stand up for our brothers & sisters. Borrow our dad's hunting rifles & go nose to nose with Trump’s gang of misfit tools. Let's do it @robreiner #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/KIf5OFAp3r

Rather than recognize how insane he sounds, Arnold doubles down on the notion in subsequent tweets:
"Borrow your dad's hunting rifle"??? …. and they say you're not funny! 😂🤣😂

Carl Reiner has badass prop gun collection plus he’s got to have some real guns he & Mel Brooks hid from old days crazy Sid Caesar when they wrote “Your Show of Shows”. Dick Van Dyke is still alive & very active. We asked Betty White. We aren’t MAGA militia so ladies are welcome. https://t.co/SSYLGavD8S

So apparently he thinks all black folks and all women would happily join his revolt, armed with prop guns and dad’s old hunting rifle.
The comments are hilarious:

Can you imagine all these liberal men running to their (probably already disappointed) fathers to borrow their guns to fight all these big mean Trump supporters? Their dads will probably take them out back and whoop the sense in them they should have done growing up but failed.

He can't be using coke and get a gun anyways. Lying on a 4473 is a federal offense.

This is hardly Arnold’s first foray into not-so-veiled threats of death and other delusional rantings. In 2018 the Secret Service paid him a visit over his tweets about beheading Trump. In May of 2019 he went on a bizarre tirade saying he’d endorse a nazi over Trump. In October of 2019 he made headlines by warning Trump would end up like JFK. Then in November his twitter account was briefly suspended after making racist and harassing comments about Diamond and Silk.
