Why Is Plaxico Burress In Jail?

[Kevin_Kennedy]

I almost didn’t submit this piece. Besides, LRC’s own Johnny Kramer already summed up my feelings with an essay published during the time of the initial public discourse on the issue. This quote from his essay is absolute money:

"To summarize, Burress is being prosecuted not for damaging another person's body or property, for which that person has filed a complaint, seeking restitution and/or damages; he's being prosecuted for not having a permission slip from the State to carry his own property. And the people who helped him get medical treatment are being threatened for not turning Burress in to the State for not having a permission slip and because the piece of his property, for which he didn't have a permission slip, involved in the victimless incident happened to be a gun; and for not cooperating with the State, once the non-crime came to its attention, in helping it gather evidence to prosecute Burress for the non-crime, and possibly to prosecute them for their involvement in the non-crime too."

Exactly.

Because the 2nd Amendment is ignored by A LOT of States.

Did you know that in Massachusetts you have to have State permission to transport a firearm in a car? And if your from out of State they will arrest you and jail you if they catch you passing through with one?

Plaxico Burress must be sacrificed on Mayor Bloomberg's anti-2A alter.

Meanwhile Donte Stallworth convict of DUI vehicular manslaughter is suspended from the NFL for 1 year.
