The AR-15: The Real Story
American Thinker ^ | November 5, 2019 | Daniel John Sobieski

Beto O’Rourke will never get the chance to take away the AR-15 kept in the home of Jeremy King of Lithia, Florida. King and his family are grateful for that and for the right to keep and bear arms enshrined, without any asterisk, in the Second Amendment of the Constitution that Democrats claim to be defending.

Yep, that AR-15, the very same “assault” weapon owned by bitter clingers said to endanger such families and the neighborhoods they live in. Instead, it saved his family from an intruder who broke into his house, pistol-whipped Mr. King, grabbed his 11-year-old daughter, and threatened to leave the King family another statistic buried deep in the news.

Never mess with a pregnant woman armed with an AR 15 semi auto rifle.

Beto needs to spend a little time in Lithia, even if the sob is not running.

Great story.

Still waiting on further news as this happened in our metropolitan area. The single piece of added info was from law enforcement; “Investigators believe the family was targeted and the home invasion was not random.” This might explain why the two invaders were hooded but beyond that who knows. Regardless of any other facts, battery on an 11yo is quite sufficient for this outcome. And, YES, Florida is a ‘Castle Doctrine’ state.

Castle Doctrine declares that people have a right to be secure in their homes and should not be placed into criminal liability due to action(s) in simple defense of the same.

and is inclined to find the weapons fall outside Second Amendment protection as dangerous and unusual."

This judge is ruling from his own made-up constitution. The Right to Keep And Bear Arms Shall Not Be infringed. What sort of arms could possibly fall outside of the protections of that? "Except" is not in there.

Further, when the Constitution was ratified, citizens arms often included cannon as in field artillery. A good deal of the artillery possessed by the Continental Army was privately owned or donated from private sources. Try that to day.

There are, indeed, limits to the ownership and carrying of arms. Those limits are found in one’s bank account. Has anyone priced an F-14 lately? or even a small thermonuclear device?

F-14s are outdated. I’m going for a F-22.
