Singer Chaka Khan's son was acquitted of murder Friday in the shooting death of a teenager during a party at her home two years ago...An "M-16 assault rifle"? Not an AR-15 or a variant? And in California?
Holland testified that he never intended to kill Bailey when he poked at him with an M-16 assault rifle. The two were discussing an affair the younger man claimed to have had with Holland's girlfriend when Holland pointed the gun at his friend.
Surely Bill Lockyer's office is all over this?
The trademark incompetence of the Associated Press notwithstanding, what the hell is Chaka Khan doing allowing any kind of gun in her home?
As I wrote in GUNS AND AMMO a few years back, she joined other celebrites in HCI's "Open Letter to the NRA":
"We are not 'gun haters'," they protested, and then demanded limiting handgun purchases to one a month, banning "assault weapons," magazine capacity limits, gun locks and "a 'cooling off' period. . .[that] might just save the life of a child. . ."Congratulations, Chaka. The 17-year-old your son blew away will now be added to the "child gun death" statistics you and your fellow hypocrites use to further the cause of disarming responsible citizens.
And no doubt the idiots who served on the jury applaud such measures.
