A Virginia Democrat vying for a seat in Congress wanted to take a public stand against guns, and got a lot of attention, though she may have inadvertently broken the law.
Karen Mallard, one of a crowded field of challengers competing for Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District — a seat currently held by a Republican — posted a video to social media Wednesday in which she takes a grinder to her husband’s AR-15 rifle and slices away the front part of the handguard and barrel.
Mallard prefaced the act by saying she did not want the gun in her house and, after the student speeches in the days after the Parkland school shooting, did not want the gun in anyone’s home. Post-grinding, Mallard said she is joining Moms Demand Action and intends to make gun reform a “top priority” if elected.
That’s a lot of stuff going on in a two-minute video.
As numerous individuals pointed out to Mallard on social media once the clip was circulated, many of which she dismissed as “NRA trolls,” the act of creating a short barreled rifle with a barrel less than 16-inches long is strictly regulated under the National Firearms Act.
Those seeking to convert an existing firearm into a SBR need to first submit a Form 1 to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives along with the required tax payment which then has to be approved, a process that can take months. Possession of an unregistered NFA item is a felony. The clip ends with the abbreviated barrel still attached to a receiver that was not destroyed in line with ATF specifications.
Though Mallard at first removed the video, she later re-posted it and asserted that she destroyed the gun, saying “I finished the job according to regulation and turned it over to the police.”
Her platform includes universal background checks, a seven-day mandatory waiting period for gun purchases, and a ban on “military-style weapons” and bump stocks.
With the Democratic primary set for June 12, should Mallard prove successful she will go up against incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott Taylor in November. Taylor, a former Navy SEAL, represents the military-heavy Virginia Beach area in Congress. Democrats have only controlled the seat for a single two-year stint in the past 18.
Karen Mallard? Any relation to Ducky? Can’t him or any of his colleagues as democrats. Except maybe Abbie. Gibbs? No freakin’ way.
My district. I sending this out to the gun club membership.
Gun Community: "We already have common sense gun laws, and you violated one of them."
Karen Mallard: "NRA Trolls."
For those who care to Facebook (which I admit will be few here on FR) here's her Facebook page. The comments are a hoot!

No need for a Bumpfire stock. Amazingly fun! Accuracy is naturally compromised, though. Short handgun cartridges have the highest cyclic rate, since less bolt travel is needed.
Bumpfiring is 100% legal, and safe in a properly maintained modern sporting rifle. Some gun ranges do not like it, though, because they feel you don’t have adequate control of the firearm. I am sure that could well be the case of you bumpfired a cartridge anywhere from 7.62 NATO (.308 Winchester) on up.
As for Gibbs, I don't watch NCIS anymore, but I remember that about the time that I stopped watching, there were a couple of episodes in which Gibbs was preaching about all religions pray to the same god and muzzies were the same as anybody else, etc.
That could be part of the reason I don't watch anymore although I think it's more to do with no Zivz.
Hey...global warming!! Go cut up the car.
“she did not want the gun in her house”
Is that a true statement??
What is true, her anti gun stuff started on Feb 14th, before that on fakebook, nada. I noticed something else, her entire campaign is directed to womyn, not a male picture in the entire month except where she says she attended her husband’s CITIZENSHIP oath. As I understand the Virginia Law, possession of an AR by a non citizen in Virginia is a felony. Since I doubt her hubby, assuming he was the one who possessed the AR she cut up, hunts with it, he would be a felon. If the gun was hers, she is a phony.
I surprised that ammunition manufactures don’t give them away.
Couldn’t resist this
SHAME ON THOSE AR 15’S
FOR WHAT HAPPENED AT THE PARKSIDE SCHOOL
BLAME GUNS
NOT
PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT POLICIES FAILURES THEY
MUST BE HIDDEN
The inability to counter this perverted (they call progressive) agenda created by the democratic party ( in name only) has its goose stepping adherents in the media left make it up as guns and the NRA garbage through their swill mills. When it should be contested by GOP state and federal legislators who should be demanding investigative hearings exposing policy failures
DON’T MENTION THIS
Besides examining the conduct and arrangements of the Broward county sheriff’s dept performance failures. A dramatic reduction in disciplinary incidents at Parkside were reported after the selection of Obama’s Chicago friend as school superintendent occurred which was publicly acclaimed.And that school district was receiving large grant money from Obama’s Attorney General because of those results. That many critics claimed encouraged criminal activity. Which should require Trump Administration US Attorney General beside find out why when the FBI knew that Cruz should not be able to purchase weapons did. And review these grant programs instituted by the previous Obama administration.

I missed the “all religions” remarks episode and that would have done it for me. And Ziva was what made it worth watching. The re-runs, that is.
Ohhhh..... Ah hahahahahaha
The divorce papers would be served within the hour.
All her expensive purses and boots and shoes and jewelry, should have gone up in a bonfire.
That would result in irreconcilable differences, with prejudice......instantly
Or in short,
Just keep making more laws until normal things are illegal things, and soon everyone is a criminal. Then the state has a pretext to go after anyone it desires.
Basically more like the european law model or monarchy models, where something is legal only if a law explicitly makes it legal. If there is no law making something legal, by default it’s illegal. Here we live where if no law exists forbidding something, it’s assumed legal.
Her husband must be a serious wuss.
Her husband should go to her jewelry box and smash up some of her stuff with a hammer...Either he is a real pussy, or a democrat.
Maybe while he’s in there, he can retrieve his testicles.
Why can’t these people just lose their guns in an unfortunate boating accident like the rest of us civil folks?
why? he prolly paid for them... better sell them to pay for they AR she destroyed
@ Chode...good point.
