Alice Falls Down the Rabbit Hole

You wouldn't get a harsher penalty if you had a decent lawyer which Senator Hinojosa did. Less than 10% of those who accidently attempt to take a handgun through security are prosecuted because of the way the law is written. Sen. Hinojosa is pro-gun and pro-CHL.

Well, gee, Alice. I thought the post concerned itself with elites enjoying privileges and immunities not available to commoners--I'm sure Sen. Hinojosa can afford all kinds of things less fortunate people cannot--but what you appear to be saying is, if you're poor and obscure, and charged with the same crime as a rich, connected man, you're screwed. I didn't realize MORE "equal justice" was a concept worth defending.

Your "pro-gun" champion voted against a measure that would have protected the names of those CHL holders you say he supports from public disclosure.

Then he "championed" registration of all private purchases conducted at gun shows--which would have made private transactions without NICS checks felonies.

This guy might look like a gun rights hero through your looking glass, Alice. Feel free to drop by and spin some more fantasy tales. For instance, I'd love to hear where you get that "less than 10%" prosecution rate from.
