Montana Man Who Threatened to ‘execute School Kids’ Will Be Able to Keep His Guns — Here’s Why

David Joseph Lenio Raw Story Lenio is charged with felony intimidation after he posted threats on Twitter saying he was going to kill Jewish leaders and “execute grade school children,” adding, “I bet I’d take out at least a whole classroom and score 30-plus if I put my mind to it.” According to a human rights group and two local rabbis, reducing charges to anything less than a felony would allow him to purchase and own more guns under current law. Lenio, a restaurant cook, was arrested in February of last year after his roommate said that he had moved guns and ammunition into their apartment. He first came to the attention of authorities when Jonathan Hutson, who was a spokesman for the Brady Campaign at the time, alerted them to the online threats. Initially jailed with bail set at $500,000, Lenio has since been released on his own recognizance and into the custody of his parents in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
