Former Gun Control Candidate Charged With Shooting Her Campaign Treasurer
The Federalist ^ | August 13, 2018 | Juliana Knot

Posted on 08/13/2018 10:18:21 AM PDT by detective

Kellie Collins, a former congressional candidate in Georgia’s 10th District, was charged with the murder of her former campaign treasurer, Curtis Cain. The allegations of murder follow Collins’ advocacy for “responsible” gun control laws during her campaign. WSB-TV reports that she argued for stricter legislation “to protect the community.”

Police found Cain’s body in Collins’s apartment with a gunshot wound. Cain did not come in to work last Tuesday, prompting deputies to check in on him. Police estimated that he was dead for roughly a week.

Collins said, “The GOP is targeting all women, minorities, members of the LGBT community and disabled people as lesser sections of society and you can see it in the bills they have passed and are attempting to pass so far in 2017.”

Collins also called President Trump an “unqualified demagogue” and was a proponent of socialized health care.

Collins dropped out of the race in 2017, a year before the charges, citing personal reasons. In addition to murder charges, police charged Collins with grand larceny after Cain’s Subaru Legacy was reported missing.

I think I could still spin it for her if she’d only hire me as a campaign manager. “See? What we need are responsible, common-sense gun control laws that keep guns out of the hands of murderous psychopaths like me! Oh, and by the way, his car sucks.” Hello, Congress.

I am more and more convinced that the core aspect of the anti-gun crowd’s motivation is their awareness of their personal irresponsibility and knowledge that they are unsafe around firearms, and their misapprehension that because they are unsafe, so is everyone.

If this hadn’t involved a murder, it would be funny. But it does. And it’s still funny, at least to my warped sense of humor.

People who don't trust others are often people who know they themselves can't be trusted.

Hard to tell with those heroin eyes. Maybe “black Irish”.

The NRA doesn’t sell arms,... but planned parenthood does.

You’re probably right. Nothing else makes sense.

Not long ago I had a conversation with a Libtard who told me flat out that he didn’t think anyone should have a gun because, he said, if he had a gun there were several people he would kill. Astonishing.
