All guns in U.S. should be dumped in ocean, judge says

As the killer stood before him, Judge Kenneth Walker couldn't stay silent.

"If I could I would take all the guns in America, put them on big barges and go dump them in the ocean," the judge told the defendant. "Nobody would have a gun. Not police, not security, not anybody. We should eliminate all of them. We could save 33,000 people a year if we didn't have guns in this country."

Marcell Lee Daniel Jr. had unleashed 30 bullets during an afternoon drive-by shooting of an innocent man on a North Portland sidewalk. The man, Andrew Coggins Jr., 24, died.

The judge kept going.

"Australia after a major shooting rounded up all the guns, and they haven't had near the death that we do here in this country," he said.

"I just saw last night a statistic that 11,000 people in America are murdered each year and another 20,000 commit suicide with guns," Walker said, referring to figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"They are a scourge of this country and no one should have one as far as I'm concerned," he said. "There's no defense to guns. There's just absolutely no reason to have them. But it is a right of people in this country to own and possess them, and I will not say anything to affect that right."

Walker, a Multnomah County Circuit Court judge for nearly 10 years and a criminal defense attorney before that for 25 years, sentenced Daniel to 17 1/2 years in prison.

Including the gun protecting him in the courtroom. They would just carry knives.

Typical left-wing turd, lacking a clue.

“Better yet - let’s dump all the judges and lawyers in the ocean.”

Walker’s mouth and anus are interchangeable parts.

This moonbat loon does not support the Constitution....he has no business being a judge. Walker thinks he knows better than the founding fathers? Yeah, sure.

"He shows (at best) no understanding of the Constitution he is sworn to uphold. I suspect that in reality he actively rejects the Constitution. "

Maybe not...many, if not most, law schools teach the "Berger Interpretation" of the Second Amendment (i.e. it applies only to members of the "militia", and not the populous).

Obviously, he doesn’t propose taking guns from violent criminals. That would allow them to rape, murder and steal, which would make liberals very happy.

Then I’d just import some guns from another country, or build some, and take over as dictator, since nobody could oppose me... thanks Judge!

Hammers, baseball bats, kitchen knives. Large wrenches, pressure cookers... pipes, chains, ice picks... automobiles...

Thigh bones, too...

The list is endless... the intent is in human kind's nature.

Yep

If Judge Kenneth Walker had his way, Defendant Marcell Lee Daniel would likely rape and murder Judge Kenneth Walker’s family and Judge Kenneth Walker wouldn’t be able to do a damn thing about it.

Moron!

As a parent of young children, I say we save room on that barge for 5 gallon buckets and swimming pools, both of with kill youngsters at a higher rate than guns.

We need Judges, but we must have Issac Parker standards for criminal cases.
