Pro-SAFE Act Leader Arrested for Taking Loaded Gun to Elementary School
Pundit Press ^ | 2/9/14 | Aurelius

Dwayne Ferguson, who has spent several decades promoting non-violence and is the leader of the anti-violence organization Mad Dads, was arrested Thursday for bringing a loaded gun to a school.

According to police, Mr. Ferguson brought a loaded handgun to Harvey Austin Elementary school on Thursday, prompting a multi-hour lockdown...

According to Mr. Ferguson, who spoke to the press, he stated that he simply “did not realize” that he brought a loaded weapon into a school full of children.

Mr. Ferguson, a member of Mad Dads, has been very vocal about New York’s SAFE Act, of which he is a supporter. In fact, he stood with a New York Assemblywoman who was lobbying to make possession of a firearm on school property a felony.

He faces up to four years in prison, based on the laws he pushed.

One does not ‘forget’ he/she has a deadly weapon with them in their possession - ever.

Then he is simply not capable of being a responsible gun carrier. Plus...his excuse is pure BS.

It seems that it is always liberals who break the gun laws they say they support. Most of the mass shooters are also deranged leftists.

I’m torn. My black heart hopes he is convicted and does the full four years. The other....naw. I hope he does the full four years.

And of course he will be banned for life from even touching a gun or even a cartridge.

He should share a cell with David Gregory. They can spend their free time discussing how effective these laws are at preventing crime and how the Supreme Court would be justified in letting them rot in jail.

How do you not KNOW that your firearm is loaded? That’s the first thing any firearm owner SHOULD know.

If only he was with the media and hid the gun in a bag of candy. Then it would have been a news story about gun violence.

He would never accept the “did not realize” defense from a gun rights activist. Throw the entire book at him.

Of course he is lying. It is simply a sign of the elitist leftist mindset. The rules and laws they push on us are simply for “the little people” (that is, you and me in their eyes) and such trifles should not apply to them - they think they know best.
