Cowboy Confessional

We sadly expect hypocrisy from politicians.  It appears to be an occupational hazard.  Yet once in a while this disorder metastasizes itself to the point one would expect the patient to expire instantly.

Such is the case with Jackson Mississippi mayor and Michael Bloomberg love slave Frank Melton.  Like his fellow lemmings, Melton sprinted straight for the steep cliffs of Bloomberg’s gun control mania, seeking desperately a quick political death through suicidal displays of heard mentality.  But this is all one can expect from a rodent.

One might also expect such a staunch and monosyllabic advocate of civil rights restrictions to avoid being associated with firearms in general, and their misuse in particular.  Yet Master Melton knows no such bounds, demonstrated by his confession to willfully breaking state laws concerning concealed carry of firearms.  Melton pleaded no contest to carrying a concealed gun on the campus of a Mississippi College School of Law, and carrying a gun into a church and into a park, also illegal in the Magnolia State.

I wager $20 that this little crime will not be mentioned at Bloomberg’s next gathering of gun control advocating mayors. 

I emphasized the word “little” above because once again we see that laws do not apply equally to the citizens as they do to our temporary hired help we call “elected officials.”  Seems that Melton’s first confessed offence — carrying a concealed firearm on a college campus – is a felony in Mississippi … or a least was.  Somehow Melton managed to get that charge reduced to a misdemeanor.  Melton received six months of probation and a $1,500 fine instead of hard time.

Now that’s a crime.
