Former Gun Control Candidate Charged With Shooting Her Campaign Treasurer

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.

The Democrats will invert this. If even a responsible gun owner couldn’t control herself, who can? Their new slogan: “Guns present an irresistible temptation for the even the most mild-mannered people to murder the people in their lives. The time to ban guns is now.”

Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes. What a bizarre twist to this murder.

Why isn’t “DEMOCRAT” used in the headline and lead sentence?

Well, you see, it proves her point. If she hadn’t been allowed to possess a firearm, she wouldn’t have shot someone./s

A congressional candidate in Georgia for gun control. No party given. I wonder how I’ll ever figure out what party she is a member of.

She stole his Subaru. Well, maybe that’s code for the party membership.

It doesn’t fit their narrative. Of course, if it had been an NRA supporting pubbie, it would have been plastered all over the news. 😁
