Where's the Second Amendment advocates in the Freddie Grey case? [View all]

Let me get this straight. A man is dead. He got beaten to a pulp, thrown into a paddy wagon, taken for a Nickel Ride, got his neck snapped like a twig, got paralyzed, got his larynx crushed, and died.

What was his crime?

He allegedly possessed a switchblade.

Except it wasn't a switchblade. The knife in question turned out to be a legal pocketknife.

Do you know what this means?

Among other severe human rights violations, the Baltimore Police violated Freddie Gray's Second Amendment Rights.

So I have a question.

Where are all the Second Amendment fans? Where are all the gun bunnies?

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO???!!!!!

ANYBODY HOOOOOOOME????!!!

Wayne LaPierre, where are you? Isn't the Second Amendment your thing?

Oh, wait silly me, I forgot the unwritten rule. In America, weapons are for white people. Welcome to our post-racial nation.
