Oregon Judge to Convicted Murderer: 'If I Could, I Would Take All the Guns in America'
That's right, he blamed the guns for the murder.
I'll give you a moment to pick yourself up off the floor.
Judge Kenneth Walker doesn't want you to think he's anti-gun, though. He's clearly read the United States Constitution. After all, when he finally finished his rant, he said, "But it is a right of people in this country to own and possess them, and I will not say anything to affect that right."
It's up to the reader to decide what he meant with that last line after reading his entire rant:
If I could, I would take all the guns in America, put them on big barges and go dump them in the ocean. Nobody would have a gun. Not police, not security, not anybody. We should eliminate all of them. We could save 33,000 people a year if we didn't have guns in this country.
Australia, after a major shooting, rounded up all the guns, and they haven't had near the death that we do here in this country.
I just saw last night a statistic that 11,000 people in America are murdered each year and another 20,000 commit suicide with guns.
They are a scourge of this country and no one should have one as far as I'm concerned. There's no defense to guns. There's just absolutely no reason to have them. But it is a right of people in this country to own and possess them, and I will not say anything to affect that right
this judge needs to be removed from the bench, and put in a mental institution ......... Firearms are NOT autonomous - their needs to be an operator
