Anti-Gun Democrat State Senator Found with Concealed Gun and Extra Ammo at Ferguson Protest

Missouri anti-gun Democrat State Senator Jamiliah Nasheed was arrested when she and other protesters refused to get out of the street. When she was arrested, police found a concealed handgun on her as well as additional ammo. The Blaze reported:
Nasheed was carrying a loaded 9mm handgun and extra rounds of ammunition, according to Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson. She also refused to take a breathalyzer test after officers determined she “smelled strongly of intoxicants,” sources told KMOV-TV.
Nasheed claimed on Tuesday that she was not intoxicated at the time of her arrest and emphasized that she is a legal concealed carry permit holder.
Police arrested and charged the state senator with failure to obey lawful order of police and manner of walking in the roadway after she and other protesters refused to get out of the street.
On Tuesday morning, Nasheed said it was a “symbolic arrest” to send a “message to the protesters that we can protest peacefully and that we must protest peacefully and that we want justice for Michael Brown.”
The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action has dubbed several pieces of legislation sponsored by Nasheed “anti-gun,” including an amendment that would require gun owners to report a firearm stolen within 72 hours.
Nasheed also reportedly pushed for a bill that would have required any “parent or guardian of a child who attends a public, private, or charter school shall notify, in writing, the superintendent of the school district, or the governing body of a private school or charter school, that such parent or guardian owns a firearm within thirty calendar days” of enrollment.
I actually don’t care that she had a gun. Or extra ammo. More power to her.
The problem here is that she’s one of these people who claims that guns cause violence. She wants lots of gun restrictions, so that it’s difficult for a law-abiding citizen to own a gun legally. She wants to infringe on the 2nd Amendment. She’d do anything to get guns out of the “wrong hands,” which is basically anyone who doesn’t vote for Democrats.
It’s these mixed message that bother me. On one hand, she wants tighter and tighter gun restrictions, but on the other, she not only owns a gun, but carries it concealed in public. With extra ammo. Isn’t this a little hypocritical? Either she should get rid of her gun and ammo, or she should join the gun rights side.
