Deputies responding to a disturbance call at a Florida apartment complex burst into the wrong unit and fatally shot a Black U.S. Air Force airman who was home alone when they saw he was armed with a gun, an attorney for the man’s family said Wednesday.
Senior Airman Roger Fortson, 23, who was based at the Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt Field, was in his off-base apartment in Fort Walton Beach when the shooting happened on May 3.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump said in a statement that Fortson was on a Facetime call with a woman at the time of the encounter.
Sure, you are allowed to have a firearm. As long as we (the police) never see you with it, or anything shaped like it, on your person ever, even if you are inside your own apartment. Oh, also don’t be black. Black people all have guns all the time. /s
That constitutional right doesn’t feel very constitutional when it’s a death sentence to exercise it.
He’s got a gun! Quick! Murder him as fast as possible!
But we have the right to have them? Oh wait I get it, you have the right to have a firearm but not the right to be alive at the same time, ahh, now it makes sense. Got me with the loophole, no “right to live while bearing arms” in the constitution, but you can bear arms, just gotta forfeit your right to be alive.
They know they are the tyrants mentioned in the 2A
Of course. Right wingers never feel bound by their own rules. Rules are just a tool for oppressing the outgroup.
Uh yeah, the second amendment says nothing about tyrants. I mean the entire thing is like one sentence dude come on.
The 2A is not, and never has been, about protecting the US from tyrannical leaders. That is not what a well-regulated militia was for.

A-fuckin-goddamn-men.
I was literally just coming to write a similar comment.
So right wingers are you still going to lick those boots or maybe actually give a shit about that 2nd amendment you love to use as a cudgel against “the left?”
