A 70-year-old Florida attorney was arrested after she allegedly tried to buy a gun while implying she would be shooting federal agents.
The bizarre case started in late September, when Lisa White reportedly walked into High Caliber Guns in Long Beach, Mississippi, looking to buy a firearm and some pepper spray. According to the complaint, White claimed she needed the weapon for protection at protests since she’s an activist. An employee at the store indicated that she asked whether the firearm would be able to penetrate body armor.
“The employee reportedly pressed White about her question. White said she would need to shoot the agent in the head, shoulder, arm or leg if the gun could not penetrate armor, the complaint said,” WLOX reported. “The employee reportedly told White that pointing a gun at law enforcement would likely result in her being killed, to which White responded, ‘If I have to die, I have to die,’ according to the complaint.”
The employee advised White to purchase pepper spray instead and suggested going to a shooting range for some training.
She returned to the store later in the day to complete the sale, but was denied. White was told to come back in a few days, and the interaction was reported to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), which referred the incident to the Homeland Security Investigations arm of ICE.
A Florida attorney, Lisa White, 70, walked into a Mississippi gun store and told them she needed a gun to kill ICE agents.
She asked if the bullets would go through their body armor. When they said no, she said she’d just shoot them in the head.
HSI came in and arrested her. She’s now sitting in jail without bond on federal threat charges.
This is what the left’s “resistance” looks like now!

She was arrested on September 24 and is currently being held on charges of influencing, impeding or retaliating against a federal official by threat. If convicted, she will face penalties including up to a decade in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 and supervised release. Court documents indicate that White is eligible to practice law in the state of Florida

Gonna guess she’s going to claim insanity. And she is indeed insane. But we need to lock up the insane at this point.

I wonder where she got the idea that ICE should be murdered. It’s probably Trump’s fault…

I’m trying to grasp at who and what warped her mind into having her mentality.

Meanwhile, most gun owners don’t want to be in a position where they have to take a human life. Ffs

This is disturbing. She belongs in an asylum. There are more like this that walk free among us.
