Many of Kessler's supporters attended the borough meeting wearing patriotic shirts reading "Constitutional Security Force" and "Molon Labe," a Greek phrase meaning "come and take."
Kessler posted a video July 15 criticizing Secretary of State John Kerry for supporting a United Nations treaty requiring countries to regulate the international arms trade. He followed that up with a second video where he used profanity and fired several fully automatic weapons.
In a WNEP interview following the controversy over the videos, Kessler said he has received numerous death threats from all over the country.
