Karen Mallard is a teacher running for Congress in the Second District of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
She announced her candidacy by making a Facebook post where she cuts up her husband’s AR-15* because of Parkland.
*She must of cut her husband’s balls off previously, because this is grounds for instant divorce for just about every gun owner I know.
Anybody who knows anything about gun laws recognizes that she made an SBR on Facebook.
Well, announcing your candidacy to the Congress of the United States by publicly violating the National Firearms Act of 1934 is a great way to get the attention of Liberal idiots and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
ATF investigating after congressional candidate cut apart AR-15
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WVEC) — The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is investigating congressional candidate Karen Mallard after she posted a video on Facebook that shows her cutting apart an AR-15 rifle.
She goes on to explain that she wasn’t happy when her husband bought the AR-15 “a while back.” Mallard adds that after the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida on February 14, and the renewed outcries for stricter gun control that followed, she and her husband agreed they didn’t want the AR-15 in their home.
The couple later decided they didn’t want it in anyone else’s house, either.
“So, today, we’re going to destroy it,” Mallard state in the video before taking a handheld power saw to the rifle.
Here’s the best part:
Mallard said she followed legal procedure, writing in her Facebook post:
And yes for all the NRA trolls out there, I finished the job according to regulation and turned it over to the police. Why are you more outraged about me taking a gun out of circulation than about our children being murdered in our schools?
Yes, all those NRA trolls who happen to know the law far better than a woman who wants to be a legislator. Now that “racist” and “bigot” have lost their punch with the Left, “trolls” seems to be the new favorite ad hominem for dismissing arguments.
What they are outraged about is someone who doesn’t know current gun laws wanting to make up new ones. Especially while she is violating one of the oldest federal gun laws in effect.
Also, there is no “finished the job according to regulation” if the barrel is cut off 10 seconds before the lower receiver, it’s still a felony.
Master Police Officer Tonya Pierce, spokeswoman for the Virginia Beach Police Department, confirmed that the rifle was in the department’s possession. Pierce told 13News Now the ATF was looking into the situation.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
I hope the ATF nails her to the wall and leaves her there. It’s about God damn time that one of these Lefty assholes who breaks the law in an anti-gun publicity stunt feels the wrath of the law.
I just can’t wait to see her opponent’s campaign ads.
Simply cutting a receiver in half doesn’t meet ATF regulations either.
Police agencies have often gotten in hot water with the ATF over doing things in violation of Federal law. (like being in possession of unregistered NFA firearms without getting the Fedz involved beforehand)
many people cut the AR receiver in the wrong spot. You can’t just slice vertically through the trigger guard. You have to come diagonally through the entire fire control group well.
For an NFA item, it takes two cuts, the second had to split the mag well too.
If it is a full auto lower, the one cut through the fire control has to go through the full auto sear pin hole.
I’ve lawfully destroyed plenty of guns. There are some very specific ways to destroy stuff (it doesn’t have to be torch cut, but it can’t be easily repaired, most AK receivers are torch cut because a saw cut in sheet metal can be repaired with a hardware store MIG welder).
Good.
