Wow let’s talk Stand your ground for just a second after looking at this.
Audio File here. LISTEN TO IT, it’s quick.
Here’s the transcript, but it doesn’t do it justice:
his organization founded by Gabrielle Giffords, you remember her, the former Arizona congresswoman that Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck suggested should be murdered, the one who was critically wounded in a mass shooting in 2011, she calls it ‘the most extreme gun bill in America.’ The NRA, which they’re behind this of course, they want guns everywhere. Jesus Christ! I would like to invite one of the NRA board members, and I’ll be armed, let’s just get this over with, OK? Come on down to Georgia and I’ll be packing heat and you be packing heat or whether you want to or not, I don’t give a damn, it’s up to you. And you come, meet me someplace, and all of a sudden, see, we have stand your ground here, and all of a sudden I’m going to feel real goddamned threatened by you! And I will shoot you! If I feel threatened. The law says I can! Ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha!
Listen to his voice! UNHINGED and filled with hate. Not to mention completely fact free.
Still It further shows that the anti’s crusade against self defense shows that they’re crusading against the demons in their sick minds rather than reality.
This one minute clip has done a LOT of damage to this man’s future if he ever chooses to carry a weapon (and don’t think because he’s a “Progressive” and anti-gun that he won’t) and needs to use it.
What he is doing here is making a case for a future First-Degree Murder case against him. He is saying in a safe radio studio about a hypothetical situation that “He will feel threatened” and use it to shoot somebody he doesn’t agree with politically.
Now in the event he ever needs to defend himself, this clip will be admitted as evidence and it will make a defense trial VERY difficult.
Further, in another hypothetical, let’s say Mr. Malloy engages in a heated discussion in a public place with somebody who is pro-freedom, and Mr. Malloy makes some furtive gesture like reaching in his pocket or tucks in his shirt tails, he potentially COULD get shot, as this clip implies that A) he owns and carries a gun, B) He’s willing to murder people over a disagreement of opinion, and C) Potentially is mentally ill.
Now it would hardly be either an open-and-shut case, or “The Perfect Crime” (not that political murders are ever perpetrated by political conservatives) , but it WOULD be a case.
Now this doesn’t just happen to the left, and this is NOT a partisan post. I’ve occasionally heard gun owners express some foolish bravado about hoping to use the gun, or wanting to see what XYZ Brand hollow-point does to a person. Also I will point out that all of the above cases are all foolish bravado, and I suspect Mr. Malloy is not nearly as brave when he’s standing on his own in public, nor am a particularly impresses with gun owners who brag about how tough they are.
I know REAL tough guys, and they NEVER brag. They Never Brag because they neither need too, nor do they WANT to. REAL tough guys HATE when they have to be tough.
Still these foolish statements put you in a lot of legal jeopardy, and that goes double for people who do it in a public place or over a mass media.
And all this coming from a dude who’s opposed to Stand Your Ground…because they only are concerned about the reality they create.
