It has been said that Kimble has not pled guilty and will be present in Department 30 of Los Angeles County Superior Court, Airport Branch on January 23 for a preliminary hearing setting. In a statement, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said, “Assault weapons and devices that muffle a firearm are illegal in California. It doesn’t matter if you are an influential member of the entertainment community or someone who has never been in the spotlight, my office will hold accountable anyone who illegally possesses these unlawful devices and deadly weapons." 

“The proliferation of firearms has skyrocketed since the beginning of the pandemic. We must do everything we can to get these guns off the streets and out of the hands of those who don’t lawfully possess them,” he added.

Meanwhile, Lord’s arrest quickly became a talking point on Twitter. “Never heard of him 🤷🏻‍♀️” one wrote. Another said, “...which would most likely be legal in another state.” Someone else commented, “Only in California.” Another stated, “Whoever this is, would have never been charged in most other states.”

A person remarked, “I have AR-15s, so what?” Another said, “He probably needs them, he’s investigating Saudi Arabia and was expecting a bone saw visit.” “Where are all the Left Wing Celebrity commentators screaming about Guns?” a tweet read. Another stated, “Clear violation of the Second Amendment. The judge, the police officers involved, the district attorney, should all be held accountable for violating the Constitution.” “‘American arrested for exercising his 2nd constitutional bill of right’. Fixed it for you,” a comment added.

"And what is an assault weapon? A woke definition of a MSR," a Twitter user noted while another added, "Low IQ and hip hop seem to be inseparable."
