Judge rejects Capitol riot suspect's request to sell guns in Georgia

A federal judge just denied the bond modification request of a former Georgia police officer Michael Shane Daughtry to possess and sell firearms while he awaits trial for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Prior to the attack, the man had run a gun business out of his home.




“Without that he has potentially no income to provide for himself,” said Jose Alejandro German, Daughtry’s public defender. “These are conditions that are really impacting his life.”

Daughtry is charged with entering restricted areas outside the Capitol, including climbing the scaffolding that had been erected for President Joe Biden’s inaugural. The charges are misdemeanors, although prosecutor Graciela Rodriguez Lindberg suggested they could be upgraded to felonies as the investigation continues.



Lindberg argued against allowing Daughtry access to guns, pointing to social media comments “that were concerning to the government.”

The comments included a Facebook post for his home gun business offering to sell assault rifles and ammunition ahead of the November general election. “It may be your last chance if the election don’t go right tomorrow,” he allegedly wrote.

In another post, he offered to sell “anti-liberal bullets.”

Consequences of his actions: after he's convicted, as a felon he can't own firearms.

Bwahahahahaha

Maybe he should apply at the local fast food place, for minimum wage.

Why isn't he independently wealthy? And his court-appointed attorney's name is Jose Alejandro German? Another sterling exemplar of the master race.

I certainly don't feel safe knowing this seditionist is wanting to continue to arm these fanatics.
