North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper criticized the state's lieutenant governor Tuesday for some of his recent comments on guns, calling the remarks dangerous and shameful.
As he often does, Robinson ticked through a range of culture-war issues in his remarks.
Then, a day after a gunman killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, N.Y., Robinson told the church that he owns AR-15 rifles, the style of gun used in the Buffalo mass shooting and many others. Robinson, a Republican, said he enjoys target shooting, but that's not why he has the guns.
"I got them AR-15s in case the government gets too big for its britches," he said. "Because I'm going to fill the backside of those britches with some lead. I'm going to say it to you plain: Your boy ain't going down without swinging."
Obvious Cooper never acknowledged Robinson's presence during the 2021 State of the State Address.
