Missouri AG Wants Charges Dropped Against AR-15 Couple Despite Remarkably Clear Statute
“St. Louis prosecutors recently charged attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey with ‘unlawful use of a weapon’ after their zany impromptu gun show a few weeks ago,” reports Joe Patrice in Above the Law’s Crime.
“Waving an AR-15 and a pistol at marchers passing by their house may confer hero status among the white grievance set, but in the real world it opens you up to felony charges. Luckily for them, Attorney General Eric Schmitt also gets his CLE credits from Tucker Carlson and he’s on a mission to end the politicization of the justice system by directly injecting himself into the process for purely political reasons.”
“The crux of Schmitt’s argument, outlined in a 12-page amicus brief, is that the Second Amendment protects every American’s right to brandish deadly weapons, the castle doctrine applied to the McCloskeys’ actions on their own property, and that any prosecution would chill others from trying to go Tony Montana on peaceful protestors.”
