Anti-Gun activist breaks Gun Free Zone Law

[steve4102]

Dwayne Ferguson a anti-gun activist and a proponent of the Safe Act showed up at school with a gun causing about an hour long "Lockdown".

Ferguson said he often carries a gun, but didn't realize he was still carrying when he entered school property.

His fellow anti-gun activists are claiming it was an honest mistake and he should not be charged with the two felony counts.

I wonder if the "I forgot" defense would work for a "Pro-Gun" activist that did the same thing?

I think this fits


Perfect example of do as I say not as I do. And this "excuse" of "I did not realize I had it on me" is crap.

That's an amazing story.

Has to be the guns fault, just jumped back in there. Since he helped pass the law, charge him to the maximum extent.

Throw the book at him. Show the state of New York that justice is blind!

I think a good defense paid for by the NRA (or the local New York Citizen pro-2A group) would be a better touch. He is a gun enthusiast (permit to carry holder).

Hopefully this makes sense. The pro 2A groups can use this to their advantage... protecting a lawful gun owner, community leader swept up by a draconian zero-tolerance law. (caught with a gun in a school used to be misdemeanor in NY, now felony).

BTW, this is my first post. I'm from the SW suburbs. Have a few pistols (Glock, Beretta). Originally from God's country in northern Minnesota (home of the pro gun democrats). Have permit to carry and pray I never have to be forced to use that permit.

Just because he has a carry permit doesn't mean he is a good gun enthusiast. Feinstein has/had a carry permit. Odds are he is a liberal elite that thinks no one should have a gun unless they meet his criteria.

Point well taken. You're correct.

But, what I was trying to illustrate that this "pillar of the Buffalo community" is now facing a felony charge (which used to be a misdemeanor). Having the pro-2A groups (not sure if there is a GOCRA type organization in NY) help him with his defense is a golden opportunity to show that groups supporting pro-2A defend ALL people's rights.

You catch more flies with honey.

It will shine a bright spotlight on the shear stupidity of "Victim Disarmament Zones" and how these laws will "backfire (pun intended)"

Another thing I've seen that could be a quiver for the pro-2A groups is the use of satire. Here is a neat use of satire in an Oregon city city council meeting where they were trying to pass local ordinances "for the children." This was a brilliant response to a hysterical council member who insisting on acting immediately to the "threat" of open carry and insecure firearms in homes with children.

They are also pro taxation.

The link said that this guy operates a printing business. He has a real job so there may be hope for him. Most of these activists are shake down artists and hide behind the "non profit" banner.

True, but without them the Minnesota gun laws would be far different. Northern MN won't be turning red any time soon. We need the "Woodtick Democrats."

Man, did I laugh at that video, is there any talent like that here for the upcoming state legislature anti-gun battle? I think he is wasting his talents, he should be an actor.

No kidding ..... double standard ? Nanny state ... needs laws that apply to most

[farmerj]

I hope he gets 4 long hard years to think about the stupid law he created......

[2in2out]

How can he be anti gun and CARRYING at the same time? I know, I know - ruling elite, do as I say, etc. etc. But, that's so obviously flaunting the fact that he's in a different class as everyone else, it's pathetic.

I agree with Citiot, though - good chance for the good guys to point out what a stupid monstrosity they created in NY. The good guys could step into the fray, point out this hypocrite is a victim of an unjust law and start a campaign to change. Using an anti-gunner as a poster child for a reversal of anti-gun legislation would be a stroke of genius.

Seriously, the anti's are waiting for their moment to finally convince everyone that all guns should be confiscated immediately and forever. We need to turn that around. We need to be able to grab an opportunity like this and make some serious hay for civil rights, self defense and the protection of children.

Yes, It is now a felony and he played a role in making that happen. He is NO friend of the NRA or any other pro Second Amendment Group.

He was a well-known face in the movement for the SAFE Act, the state law that made carrying a gun on school property a felony

You cannot compromise with the Left and we sure as hell should not waist valuable time, money and resources defending a Socialist Hypocrite. He pushed for this law and now he can suffer for it. Defending him and wasting resources would be a huge slap in the face of true Americans.

There would be NO Spotlight on the stupidity of the Safe Act by defending him. That light would have to come from the Main Stream Media. As soon as the MSM got wind of any kind of support from the Gun Community, he would loose his Socialist status and be touted as anther Gun Nut gone rouge.

I'll be the doesn't go to jail over this. He's already been defined as part of the ruling elite.
