Just Like That, Gun Control Support and COVID-19 Died This Week
American Thinker.com ^ | June 7, 2020 | Clarice Feldman

After watching hundreds (including Michigan Governor Whitmer and other political figures who placed the rest of us in lockdowns) marching, screaming shouting -- without social distancing and often without masks -- it’s going to be hard to persuade us that even normal social contact will infect us and those around us with COVID-19. After watching the police hamstrung by these same politicians as their cities were looted and burned and they and civilians were severely injured and killed, gun sales are soaring. Without law and order it’s each man for himself. With our biggest cities boarded up and devastated, flight out to red states, where people understand that without respect for law life is too brutal to endure, will snowball.

The Purported Trigger: The Death of George Floyd

George Floyd was arrested in Minneapolis for passing a counterfeit bill. He was a big man with a record of assaults and drug use. A video of his arrest shows he was handcuffed and seems to have resisted being placed in the squad car. We see him being pinned down on the ground by Officer Chauvin’s knee. He seems to be wrestling about on the ground and talking. Soon after he stops moving an emergency medical van appears and he is removed from the scene. He was reportedly dead by the time they arrived. At least one report says the officers called for medical assistance early in the arrest when Floyd said he couldn’t breathe. Is the video the best evidence of what occurred? No.

Amazing how they change their tune when it comes to THEIR neighborhoods and businesses.

They deserve all they get IMO.

Carol Roth makes absolute TOOL of Tom Arnold calling for liberal white men to borrow their dad’s hunting rifles to fight Trump supporters

They know better than that. My guns aren't about hunting.

And that will work out really well for those who are unfamiliar with firearms.

They will be easy pickings as they stand there and try to figure out how to release the safety on their guns or unjam it.

And that, my friends, is why there is unusual traffic in shooting ranges these days.

Seems like you can’t go down to the nearby gravel quarry pit and do your plinking there any more.

Pity. a LOT of practice was done in such places years ago.

This is a great article. The section about “excited delirium” perfectly explains the probable cause of Floyd’s death. In common vernacular, he was high as a motherf*cker!
