NRA Silent as Amir Locke Slain by Police for Having a Gun He Legally Owned

Without commenting on the overall Locke situation, The NRA is caught between the Police Lobby and public gun owners on this one.

Here is a quote from Minnesota gun owners association: "A gun-rights group highlighted the timing of the raid, saying it appeared from the video that Locke was awakened by a confusing array of commands from officers pointing lights and guns at him.
“Mr. Locke did what many of us might do in the same confusing circumstances, he reached for a legal means of self-defense while he sought to understand what was happening,” said Rob Doar, a spokesman for the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus."

The NRA unfortunately is not what it used to be.

The usual suspects are no doubt doing the usual mental gymnastics to justify this shooting

As many have mentioned, Locke did what most of us would do in a similar scenario. No-knock warrants are a danger to law abiding citizens.
