MSU Shooting | The Zelman Partisans

To also not enforce?

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel [Dim] is trying to explain away why the MSU shooter wasn’t prosecuted for felony unlicensed carry in 2019.

That is such a common crime here that, if we were to lock up everyone who illegally carried a gun, we’d have to build more prisons. So, to me, it’s not a matter of incarcerating our way through this problem, it’s a matter of making guns less accessible and available to people.”

Don’t lock up criminals. Make more laws to keep guns away from the honest folks who try to obey laws.

The stupid; it burns.

But if the good guys get tired of Nessel’s s**t and don’t obey, will she then grant them the same leniency that she shows to killers?

I keep seeing conflicting reports about the legal status of the Michigan State chumbucket. This one is typical.

PICTURED: Woke prosecutor who refused to jail or even ban MSU shooter from buying a gun after his 2019 felony weapons charge
The MSU gunman who killed three students in a senseless spree on Monday should have been banned from buying guns after being charged with a felony in 2019 – but a woke prosecutor lowered the offense to a misdemeanor.
[…]
It remains unclear where and when McRae bought the weapon used in Monday’s attack, but he wouldn’t have been able to do so legally had the prosecutors gone through with the felony charge.

Fortunately, there are some better, more detailed reports, like this one.

Chum-boy was originally charged with felony carry without a license. The charge was lowered to misdemeanor transport in a vehicle under Michigan Penal Code Section 750.227c. In fact, the description of the apparent arrest circumstances make the misdemeanor charge a more accurate description of what he’d done, and thus more appropriate.

But did that make it legal for him to buy or possess a firearm? Look at 750.227c closely.

A person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $2,500.00, or both.

Now look at 18 U.S. Code § 922(g)(1).

)It shall be unlawful for any person—
(1)who has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;

Note: punishable, not whatever lower sentence might have actually been imposed. State law may not regard him as a prohibited person, but federal law certain does.

Michigan should have reported him to NICS. Did they? When was the murder weapon purchased?

Could this have been prevented by the state simply following existing law, instead of gleefully embracing it as a chance to pass more victim-disarming people-control laws?
