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.

“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.”

The term you’re looking for is “projection.”

So, I had to read that title a few times to make sure I got the story right. Despite that, I am not the least bit surprised. It has always been guns for them, but not the masses.

I don’t think this is a case of actual projection. Projection is where the projector refuses to accept the feelings/actions they’re experiencing, and transfers them to an “acceptable target”. I think in this case, they realize on some level their own untrustworthiness, and commit the fallacy of believing that everyone else is the same e.g. the “False Consensus” fallacy. I believe there is also a related cognitive limitation that children experience e.g. egocentrism, which has the same general parameters. This childlike belief would also tie into the notion that Leftists are emotionally/developmentally stunted in some fundamental way.

Hypocrite. Being a Democrat likely should disqualify for gun ownership. And why is someone objecting to guns, actually have them? And then commit murder?!

Guns don’t kill people. Liberals kill people.

No more surprising than a California anti-gun Assemblyman turning out to be a gun trafficker.

Shot him, stole his environmentally conscious car and is probably hiding in a diverse, progressive community eating sustainable vegetables and cursing Trump.
