This is a feature, not a fault. Libs want and need a major event, an uprising where a large group actively take up arms and defend and or retaliate against criminals, this will give Pedo Joe and the Ho the excuse they desperately want to initiate Martial Law and begin serious crackdowns.

This is the kind of prosecutor Newt Gingrinch started talking about until he was censored back in the fall of 2020 before he was censored by Fox New’s ‘Outnumbered’.

Not surprising. It is not isolated accident.

The Left loves chaos and destruction.

They represent Great Evil.

"Anthony McRae, the Michigan State shooter, was charged in June 2019 with illegally carrying a concealed handgun without a permit, but later had those charges dismissed..."

What's the problem here? What about "Shall not be infringed"? Isn't a a requirement to have a permit an infringement?

The original link, not Twitchy, is clearer and gives more detail.

Michigan State Shooter Had Prior Felony Gun Charge Dismissed By Progressive Prosecutor (February 14, 2023)

https://freebeacon.com/democrats/michigan-state-shooter-had-prior-felony-gun-charge-dismissed-by-progressive-prosecutor/

Some of which did not makes sense to me. I do not know the gun laws in Michigan. The gun regulations mentioned may be for a large city, not the state gun laws.

The perp’s photo is at the link, and that of the Soros Judge.

When I lived in Michigan you had to get a written approval from the police chief or sheriff in your jurisdiction just to BUY a handgun. Every time. Is this still true?

See link at my post #8

I had the same question. That link is from the Washington Beacon. There was a link (bit shortened) to it at the Twitchy article.

You gotta figure the people who vote for these scum are criminals themselves.

If you have a Soros backed Prosecutor, you gotta give the People credit. It means that the People wanted the Prosecutor in Office because they were elected by majority vote. If that is what the People want. That is what the People will get. When the Voters get the intelligence to elect God Fearing men and women to Public Office, which they never will. That is when things will change.

Not prosecuting violent criminals increases equality? Yikes. It increases the murder rate.

Covering up a black on white hate crime by attacking the Bill of Rights. “America in heap big trouble.”

I hate to break this news, but if you (I’m using ‘you’ generically. It’s not directed at anyone on FR) are a freedom loving conservative that believes in the Bill of Rights, it is not possible to hold two opposing views at the same time and defeat leftists. I’m just going by what’s in this post since I do not know McRae’s full background. Specifically, I do not know if he has other felony convictions.

A freedom loving conservative does not think the 2nd Amendment should be restricted by concealed carry permits. You see, we have a problem with that pesky phrase, “shall not infringe”. We believe in constitutional carry, and if you are true to that, it means there are no laws required for or against constitutional carry. The 2nd Amendment has all the power by itself to allow for carrying a weapon concealed or otherwise.

It’s another question altogether whether felony charges should be allowed to dropped in favor of a lesser charge. But that is a lawful practice. Personally, I think there are instances when this should be allowed to dispense justice that fits the crime.

So where’s the opposing view? The Soros backed DA is being attacked in this article for doing the right thing considering the unconstitutionality of concealed permit laws. I’m positive this DA has plenty of other real problems so go after him on those. Don’t weaken your stance on the 2a to attack him. In the process you are making a case for stricter gun laws and leftists will tear you a new one, by saying, “See, we need stricter, mandatory gun control laws. (Or gun safety laws or whatever euphemism they are using at the moment.) “This guy should have been in prison and never be able to have the opportunity to use a gun.”

There’s another consequence. This entire article maybe deflecting from the real problem McRae has. Could that be mental illness? I don’t know, but if it is, the author didn’t spend time investigating that. Instead he attacks the Soros backed DA. Attack him another day in an other way.

All of this isn’t about scoring points for Republicans. It’s about justice. There are plenty of Republicans that favor various degrees of gun control. I call them RINOs. I don’t want to score points for them.

By the way, I am not soft on crime. I don’t like what all these Soros backed DAs are doing. I firmly believe if you do the crime, you do the time. That’s a belief in paying a debt to society in hopes that a man can one day be a productive member of society. The only radical ideal I hold is once you pay that debt, all your rights are restored after you paid your debt. That includes 2a rights. Full rights are required to be a full member of productive society. It is unconscionable to punish someone indefinitely for lesser crimes. (Contrast that with not punishing someone enough for a greater crime, e.g., murder.)

Actually, I have one other radical ideal related to this. There are two types of citizens in regard to the 2a. Those in prison, which are denied their 2a rights, and those not in prison which have full rights. That means people with mental illness too. How you deal will mental illness is a mutually exclusively separate problem from denying someone their rights. Mentally ill people have the right to defend themselves, just like they have a right to free expression. No one should be denied their rights without being convicted of a crime. Personally, I do not think mental illness is a crime. By the way, I am no mental illness expert. I don’t know the solution to that problem. But I can say, that using mental illness as an excuse to deny someone their rights creates a slippery slope. It opens an argument for other classes of people to have their rights denied. Eventually, leftists will get around to sticking you into a class that denies your rights.

To conclude this little rant, the simple idea of two classes of citizens, those in prison and those not, and the rights they can and cannot exercise has consequences. It eliminates the need for background checks. I call that a positive consequence. Background checks do not stop criminals from obtaining guns. Background checks impede law abiding citizens from exercising their 2a rights while funneling money and resources into doing the background checks. Those dollars and resources could be used to fight actual crime. Background checks are a classic example of waste and the lack of focus on real problems just to make people feel safe. I have a hunch there’s a lot of people in Chicago that don’t feel safe and they have background checks and tons of unconstitutional gun control laws.

Seems these loose prosecutors could be held liable.
