Politics of Gun Control

When two members of the McCloskey family defended their home and family by showing an automatic rifle, they probably didn’t plan on having to defend themselves further politically when a very anti-gun politician found a way to attack them for defending themselves. It is said that “demonstrators” were “on their way somewhere else” and were just “walking by” the McCloskey property when the McCloskeys threatened them. Why then, did they break one of the McClosky’s gates? Even if that were true, the McCloskeys were within their rights to display their defense tools if that would in any way prevent violence if they thought, even wrongly, that they were “under attack.” Point is, nobody was hurt, whether or not the threat was real—and that local politician pretending to be a law-enforcer had no business injecting herself into the situation. Her action is purely political and twists the law unmercifully if it proceeds. A senator asking for an investigation is NOT “interfering with a local matter.” It is calling for a needed investigation into an abuse of power by a local politician. (Fox 2 Now)
