NC City Official: Keep Guns From Dangerous People...Soldiers and Police

The progressive left is hellbent on dividing this country along ideological lines.

Quote:
A city councilwoman in North Carolina is walking back an explosive statement she wrote Monday on her personal Facebook page in which he said that the “most dangerous people with guns” aren’t criminals, but police officers and soldiers.

“I am all about keeping guns away from dangerous people, but I feel like more of us should be pointing out that the most dangerous people with guns are cops and soldiers, and that the no-fly list and FBI anti-terror efforts are seriously corrupted by entrapment, racial profiling and Islamophobia,” Durham City Councilwoman Jillian Johnson posted.

As usual, these morons can't separate the notion of "dangerous" from that of "criminal" or "evil".

I read this and all I can think of is that I hope she didn't breed. The gene pool doesn't need more stupid.

I would agree with her on the soldier part. I "was" one of the most dangerous folks on the planet with a weapon in my hands, but only to the enemy.

She said exactly what she meant to say. It wasn't taken out of context. She said it...she needs to own it.

This is what happens when you elect an adult that has a 5th grade education to political office.

That's not fair to 5th graders anywhere except well maybe a large portion of inner city schools and Durham NC.
