If the gun was illegal, why paste a picture on Facebook? Darwin Award?

I was told the media would ignore this story because the shooter was black. Yet here it is. Again.

Not ignore, but they will refrain from discussing the race if the person is a minority quite often, but if the person is white that information will be broadcasted immediately.

Please identify the parole board members who thought it was a good idea to release Mr. Martin early.

A year ago, prosecutors implored the state parole board not to release (Smiley) Martin early from a 10-year sentence — noting his prior convictions for possessing an assault weapon, stealing electronics from department stores and beating a girlfriend he encouraged to be a prostitute.

Dandrae Martin, who was held without bail, was freed from an Arizona prison in 2020 after serving just over 1 1/2 years for violating probation in separate cases involving a felony conviction for aggravated assault in 2016 and a conviction on a marijuana charge in 2018. Court records show he pleaded guilty to punching, kicking and choking a woman in a hotel room when she refused to work for him as a prostitute.

I think I am sensing a pattern.

The best way to reduce gun violence is to never release violent criminals from prison before they serve their full sentence.

Wait a minute… in California it’s illegal for a felon to possess a firearm. It's illegal to convert a handgun to automatic fire. It's illegal to steal a handgun. It's illegal to carry a handgun without a permit. It's illegal to brandish a firearm in public. It is illegal to misuse a firearm.

All “common sense” gun laws that mean nothing to the people willing to break them.
