How is that woman still in her position?

Wasn’t it discovered that she lied, withheld evidence, coached a witness, brought bogus charges, and, basically, use all sorts of dirty tricks to get rid of Greitens? Who was having your run of the mill affair with some woman, IIRC.

After a 20-month investigation the Missouri Ethics Commission (MEC) released an order fully exonerating former Governor Eric Greitens. They found “no evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of Eric Greitens.”

And the state of Missouri did nothing to her. Must be nice to be able to walk through life knowing you’ll never be held accountable.

The DA should be prosecuted.

....”If they are convicted, they should be immediately pardoned by the governor.”.... but will there still be
a felony conviction on their records...? if that is the
case, they would never again be allowed to own or even
touch a firearm, am I right...?? this whole situation is
really, really screwed up....

...no one could be a more fervent supporter of the
2nd amendment than I.... but if the Dems win the
Senate and the Presidency in November, watch them
work almost at once to gut, or even abolish, the 2nd
amendment...yes, as the now late Admiral Isoruku
Yamamoto said, behind every blade of grass in America
is a rifle...but that won’s stop the Dems from trying
to take them away, especially that “assault weapon”
the AR-15 ........

Look up thee 1983 Supreme Court decision in Imbler v. Pachtman. Prosecutors were granted absolute immunity for anything connected to their job. And you wondered why Soros spent all that money on those DA elections.

Given the fact that the DC District Federal Appeals court ruled in "Warren v. District of Columbia" that the police have no reason to protect individuals, and the SCOTUS ruled in "Jessica Gonzales v. City of Castle Rock, CO," that the local police department isn't even required to enforce it's own protective orders, this is a HUGE deal.

Even though during the hurricane, where the City of New Orleans actually went through and illegally collected the guns of individuals, at least according to the SCOTUS, given the ruling came long after the collection, this is quite alarming.

She's fully protected by the Dems and the money of George Soros.

The puppet Biden (if elected) will work with the left to attack the Second Amendment and push for repeal. Sounds crazy? I would have agreed a few years ago, but nothing surprises me now. Obama stockpiled 1000 assault vehicles and 1 billion rounds of ammo for confiscating guns, IMO

Public opinion will be key to winning enough state votes to repeal the Amendment.

They'll never make a dent in the number of guns no matter what laws they pass or how they enforce them. Estimates say there are between 300 million and 500 million guns in private hands with several million more added ever single year (the vast majority not registered and with no way for the government to track ownership). Guns are durable goods and rarely break or need repairs (which is why there are still plenty of guns from the early 19th century for sale). So there is a high likelihood that vast majority of hundreds of millions of guns are still out there and in perfect working order.

(From the article):" .. Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner says their actions risked creating a violent situation
during an otherwise "peaceful protest" last month.
Doesn't Gardner have it backwards? "

Yes, Gardner has it backwards ,and purposely so !
This is one of Soros's investments into State and County prosecutors and District Attourneys; and this is only the start.
The "peaceful protest" included breaking and entering a locked gate, and destruction of the gate.
The "peaceful protest" was trespassing on private property.
The victims of this legal insurrection were merely trying to protect their property,
and their own well-being as evidenced by the existing video which shows "peaceful protesters" making threats.
Expect similar responses from Soros investments into the legal system; this is but one recent flaggerent example.
Expect more of the same.

Democrats do not care that the Second Amendment is clear or that the SCOTUS has ruled it is a personal right to keep and bear arms.

Democrats do not care that a Castle Doctrine law was passed in Missouri.

Democrats do not care because they will push the limits and harass you into surrender or get one of their judges to rewrite the law.

They'll never make any dent in the number of ILLEGAL guns, just those owned by legal owners. THOSE are the people those in the government are really afraid of.

The illegal gun owners, i.e. criminals, are just to be used as a club against the legal owners.

I'm focusing on long range precision scoped bolt rifles and a few single shots. That's a hedge against the possibility that my semi-autos are "TEMPORARILY" lost!😎

At which point, Civil War II begins.

“And the state of Missouri did nothing to her. Must be nice to be able to walk through life knowing you’ll never be held accountable.”


The state of Missouri is “in the process” of doing something to her—there is an investigation of her and her office, but it may well be hoping she’s defeated in this fall’s election. Apparently she’s not moved on real serious crimes, but seems hot to trot on cases like Greitens/McCloskeys.

She says any and all moves against her are ‘racist’, which may, for her, be an election-winning strategy.
