WA shooter: pro-gun 2nd amendment people dismayed to discover his stepdad is a Trump supporter

Some people are trying to spread the idea that Arcan Cetin is a Muslim, but he was raised in a home with Byzantine Christian religious art on its wall (there are photos), and his stepfather is an American named David Marshall.

In any case, here are the comments at a pro-gun site of some gun nuts discovering info about Cetin's father -- to their dismay.

This would appear to be the facebook page of the shooter's father-in-law, who appears to be a very pro-2A gun guy. This guy married the shooter's mom (Turkish woman) back in 2010:

He seems like a good guy. Looks like he is a Trump supporter.

He is a good guy.
He would fit right in with the majority of ARFcom.

Anyone recognize the artwork above the dude on the couch?

Pretty sure it's Byzantine iconography depicting Gabriel and Mary.
It's something you'd find in the home of someone who's a member of the Greek Orthodox or Byzantine Church.

Not a Muslim household. Doesn't mean the kid wasn't acting out after reading some jihadi shit online though.

Damn, the Trump stuff on his step dad's page is going to be huge by Monday. The major media is going to eat it up
