I'm sure some of my FB friends are wondering why I've been so actively promoting our 2nd Amendment rights and opposing the current legislative proposals. I'm sure some are tired of seeing my posts on the topic. About that, i'm sorry. But I believe it's important. Very important!
Here's an anecdote that was sent to me from a Marine friend today that shows one example of exactly what is wrong with the "gun control" craze that's sweeping our nation right now.
"One of my Marines is facing a felony conviction for firing his friend's AR-15 at a gun range with his Marine Corps issue 30-round magazine. He's a good kid with no previous convictions but because of the current political climate after Newtown, his attorney is telling him that he won't get a plea deal let alone a dismissal even though he had no idea that he was doing anything wrong. Obviously, he should've known not to do what he did, but to be forever carry the title of convicted felon as a result of a minor mistake like this? It fills me with rage.
…
Yes sir, California. It was at a gun range in Oceanside. He's being prosecuted in San Diego superior court. He's being charged with use of a high-capacity magazine."
A MARINE dared to use a 30-round magazine in a commercially available AR-15. Note that the 'crime' was not about the (presumably) legal AR-15, but simply for using a government issued 30-round magazine.
THIS IS CRAZY! And it needs to stop!
