The Laws apply to you and me, not the political aristocracy...

"Instead of getting his guns back under a sweet plea deal and retaining his job as sheriff," he observed, "Mirkarimi ought to remain disarmed, and lose his job. Otherwise, from this date forward, San Francisco prosecutors need to apply the 'Mirkarimi standard' to every domestic violence case that hits their desk. "

Many US citizens do not realize that unconstitutional anti-gun laws like the Lautenberg Amendment are applied selectively, that is to say such laws only apply to the hoi polloi. The political aristocracy and their goons are free to break the laws and evade the laws with no consequence. Of course, as one commentator pointed out the above, Mirkarimi should be denied access to firearms according to the law, but then that would imply that the law should apply equally to all persons without exception and the political aristocracy and wealthy elites will absolutely not allow that!



 CCRKBA Says San Francisco Sheriff's Plea Deal Smacks of Hypocrisy By Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Posted: 5:22pm on Mar 12, 2012; Modified: 5:27pm on Mar 12, 2012 BELLEVUE, WASH., MARCH 12, 2012 — BELLEVUE, Wash., March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The plea deal announced this morning that allows anti-gun San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi keep his guns in what began as a domestic violence case "smacks of hypocrisy at the highest order," the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today. Mirkarimi pleaded guilty in San Francisco court this morning to what the San Francisco Chronicle described as "a misdemeanor charge of false imprisonment in connection with an incident in which he allegedly inflicted a bruise on his wife." "As a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Ross Mirkarimi supported all manner of gun control schemes," said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. "He had to surrender his guns when the charges were originally filed, and if similar charges had been filed against some gun rights activist or an average gun owner, you can bet Mirkarimi would be looking to pillory that person, and strip away their gun rights permanently." Under federal law, domestic violence convictions can cost people their Second Amendment rights permanently. As part of the plea deal, prosecutors reportedly dropped the domestic violence charge and two other misdemeanor counts. "Why should Mirkarimi enjoy a double standard," Gottlieb questioned. "Based on reports of what he allegedly did, any private citizen who did the same thing might be facing jail time. You can bet San Francisco prosecutors would not be cutting a deal that would allow that person to get his firearms back. "Instead of getting his guns back under a sweet plea deal and retaining his job as sheriff," he observed, "Mirkarimi ought to remain disarmed, and lose his job. Otherwise, from this date forward, San Francisco prosecutors need to apply the 'Mirkarimi standard' to every domestic violence case that hits their desk. "Mirkarimi's reputation as a double-standard elitist is now solidified," Gottlieb said. "For a person who has advocated gun control for everyone else, he should be ashamed. Ross Mirkarimi can now be known as the High Sheriff of Low Behavior." With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (www.ccrkba.org) is one of the nation's premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization, the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the United States.
