Convicted metro Detroit serial rapist receives 50-88 years, tells judge 'f--- you' [More]

What an animal. The bit in the video about his mother advising him to tell police he was on drugs is telling in as far as who it is doing the raising and enabling.

What this does is it says  as far as "shall not be infringed" goes, the NRA is firmly on the side of prior restraints that have no basis in delegated Constitutional authority. It says they believe "gun control" works. And if it does work, it deflates their arguments against "universal background checks."

I'd also challenge what's being blanket passed off as "due process" when it involves determinations by those with agendas of their own. And as far as accusing others of being motivated by fundraising, well...

This only took a few hours and a little bit of planning... Concrete on the tracks is just a start."

Everything else is just noise. They tried to incite with it and now they're trying to hide from any culpability by going on the attack against anyone reminding people of their own words.

Noting who's in charge of Amtrak, this may very well turn out to be a human/system failure and this could just be a coincidence.
