A 2017 Congressional candidate who ran on a gun control platform in Georgia was arrested last week and charged with shooting the former manager of her political action committee, according to police.
Daily Mail reports that the former candidate, 30-year-old Kellie Collins, was a Democrat running for Georgia’s 10th Congressional seat. She pulled out of that race last year for “personal reasons” and was arrested last week on murder charges.
WSBT reports that Collins ran on “responsible gun regulation to protect the community.” And Online Athens quoted Collins’ campaign website saying she wanted to “(e)nsure a more careful monitoring process in gun sales from both retailers and private dealers to protect all parties involved and shield the community from the effects of firearms falling into the wrong hands.”
The body of Collins’ former PAC manager, 41-year-old Curt Jason Cain, was found at his home last week. Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton ruled that Cain was killed with a firearm.
Cain’s car was missing from his home when his body was discovered, resulting in grand larceny charges for Collins as well.
While running for Congress, Collins told Girls Really Rule: “When your friends and family are depending on you to make ethical decisions that affect their lives for many years, a member of Congress should hold her or himself to a much higher standard than the bare minimum that many GOP members are currently using as a benchmark.”
...a member of Congress should hold her or himself to a much higher standard than the bare minimum that many GOP members are currently using as a benchmark.

I am beginning to think that if the Dems actually want responsible gun control they should not be allowed access to guns.
It would serve a dual purpose.. first, it wouldn't make them look like hypocrites. Secondly, it would get guns out of the hands of the obvious lunatics.

Great. You want gun control based on political affiliation.

There are many on the left, now, because of Trump being in office, have become unstable, unhinged, and triggered, and should not have access to a gun. Guns are dangerous!

Democrat Control!
Background checks, and mandatory waiting periods.
I would like the obvious crazies to not run around and shoot people when they don't get their way.
Not my fault the Democratic party has more than their fair share of lunatics.
Besides, is it not the left that wants gun control?
Practice what you preach.
