ex-con amasses arsenal of guns, ammo

[JuliefromOhio]

Federal agents were tracking Ohio resident Richard Schmidt’s imports of counterfeit sports jerseys when they stumbled upon his arsenal of 18 guns, more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition, and bulletproof body armor. Besides the arsenal, he had lists of Jewish and black leaders in Detroit, MI. He is also an ex-felon who killed a Hispanic man and wounded two others 24 years ago.

How did he get those guns?

Thanks to the NRA, federal law enforcement agents are forbidden from keeping any records of gun purchases. individuals like Schmidt can potentially avoid background checks when they purchase firearms, or they can obtain guns through a straw purchaser that law enforcement cannot track because any records revealing the purchaser’s activities would have been destroyed.

Poor Righties hate being culpable for the crimes people commit because of the NRA and Right Wing policies. The NRA is responsible for gun crimes because their answer for every question is " more guns and ammo".

what a load of horseshitte.............of course libs never think people are responsible for their actions, it's always ALWAYS someone else's fault.......look at 'O' for perfect example. Very doubtful this gut killed the Hispanic because of the NRA, if that is true, the black thugs that murdered the WWIII Vet did it because of Jacksons/Rainbow....see how sounding as a lib suks.

any ex-felon can amass guns and ammo like this white supremacist aka rightwinger in Ohio did. the NRA/gun manufacturers don't care.......just like our little PJ con friends don't care.

Blaming the NRA for felons having guns is like blaming Ford Motor Co, for drunk drivers.

So what is your excuse for the 40,000 rounds and the bullet proof body armor?

 

[ITALIA]

No, it is more like not having laws against drunk driving.

 

[Charcat]

But we DO have laws against drunk driving. We also have laws against felons owning guns.

Why are conservatives being painted with a broad brush?

 

[JuliefromOhio]

Why are conservatives being painted with a broad brush?

because there's not a PJ con here who is for universal background checks.....which could stop ex-felons like Richard Schmidt from amassing guns and ammo.

the NRA/gun manufacturers have worked to weaken/stop gun legislation such that ex-felons have an easy time amassing an arsenal of guns and ammo.

That would be incorrect, because I support universal background checks. Not all conservatives are against certain forms of gun control.

you're a republiCon?

 

[Zoar]

When the NRA stops fostering such a gun crazy society and when Conservatives stop 100% supporting the propaganda of the NRA then we will stop calling them out on their despicable actions that serve to promote gun violence in the US!

 

[Bluedog]

you're a republiCon?

You said PJ cons. Not all conservatives are republicans.

Isn't it good we have laws against DWI? So why is it so easy for felons like this guy to get all those guns, ammo and bullet proof body armor? Because when it comes to guns we have nothing comparable to laws against DWI.
