A gunman who killed three and wounded five others at Michigan State University on Monday would have been barred from owning a firearm at the time of the shooting had he not had felony gun charges dismissed by a progressive prosecutor.
Anthony McRae was charged in June 2019 with illegally carrying a concealed handgun without a permit, but later had those charges dismissed by the office of Ingham County district attorney Carol Siemon (D.). Her office instead let McRae plead guilty to a lesser misdemeanor gun charge, and he served a little more than a year on probation, which ended May 2021. He initially faced up to five years in prison for the felony charge, the Detroit News reported.
Siemon retired from the district attorney’s office at the start of this year after facing criticism from judges and law enforcement officials for her soft-on-crime policies. The same year that McRae was released, Ingham County sheriff Scott Wriggelsworth pushed East Lansing’s city council “to reconsider her internal felony firearm charging policy,” which he said “does not hold people properly criminally accountable, and increases the likelihood of additional gun violence.”
Siemon made it her office’s official policy in August 2021 to drop mandatory prison sentences for felony firearms charges. She said the sentencing enhancement led to “dramatic racial inequity” and was “not in any way linked to the goal that we share of keeping the public safe.” MORE
Dems really are their own worst enemies, not that they’ll ever be called to account.
In case the light hasn’t gone on yet, they encourage people like this in the general population to justify taking our guns.

I got yer link right HERE, bitch.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE!!!!
Whilst I believe that McRae should be executed for his most recent crime, I have mixed feelings about carrying a concealed weapon without state permission being a crime. I worked in Washington, DC for a number of years where it was basically impossible to obtain a permit and many of the people that I knew and worked with “would rather have been caught with it than without…” They were otherwise decent, law abiding, hard working taxpaying citizens.

With dirtbags like McRae, having a felony conviction has never stopped them from having a weapon….
On even numbered days the demo-communists demand gun control. On odd numbered days they ignore fellow democrats and Obama sons who commit gun crimes.

I am glad to see this comment. Why should it be a crime to exercise our 2nd Amendment rights.
This dirtbag should fry for murder, but carrying concealed is not a crime.

We need a Federal minimum standard that states need to meet.
