Kaufman County
District Attorney Mike McLelland (l.) and his wife, Cynthia (r.), were
found dead Saturday night with gunshot wounds in their Texas home, according to reports.
A North Texas prosecutor packed heat because he knew he was a target —
and may have been slain by the same racist thugs who he suggested killed
a colleague two months ago.
Investigators in Kaufman County, south of Dallas, are chasing down
leads in the death of District Attorney Mike McLelland, including
whether he was the latest hit in a white supremacist war on officials.
A friend found the bodies of McLelland, 63, and his wife, Cynthia,
inside their home Saturday night. McLelland was shot multiple times with
what appeared to be an assault rifle, while his 65-year-old wife was
hit only once, according to CBS affiliate KTVT.
Authorities are looking into a link between McLelland’s murder and the
assassination of Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse on Jan. 31.
You know why he didn't just protect himself and his wife with a gun of his own? It's because
owning and carrying a gun very rarely helps. That's why.

ReplyDeleteFine, Mikeb, I can remember what I said. Here's someone who is on the Brady Bunch approved list for having and carrying a gun. But the point that you keep missing is that we never said a gun is a guarantee of safety. We say that having one improves the odds for those who use a gun well. We also say that having a gun is a basic right, regardless of utility.
