Rico, "just being a person."

A Heavily Armed Man Caused Panic at a Supermarket. But Did He Break the Law?

ATLANTA — Two days after a gunman killed 10 people at a Colorado grocery store, leaving many Americans on high alert, Rico Marley was arrested as he emerged from the bathroom at a Publix supermarket in Atlanta. He was wearing body armor and carrying six loaded weapons — four handguns in his jacket pockets, and in a guitar bag, a semiautomatic rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun.

Moments earlier, an Instacart delivery driver had alerted a store employee after seeing Mr. Marley in the bathroom, along with the AR-15-style rifle, which was propped against a wall. A grand jury indictment later described what had come next: “panic, terror and the evacuation of the Publix.”

Mr. Marley, then 22, was arrested without incident that day in March 2021. His lawyer, Charles Brant, noted that he had not made any threats or fired any shots, and had legally purchased his guns. Mr. Marley did not violate Georgia law, Mr. Brant said; he was “just being a person, doing what he had the right to do.”

I would suggest that anyone who can not see the absurdity of what has become of the 2nd A, which gave permission to members of a well regulated militia the right to possess a musket, has lost all perspective on the amendment's intent.

By comparison with Rico, these little boys showing off their lethal toys.........

standing outside MI's capital building, playing out a Rambo fantasy, were only lightly armed. Cuz this is what Mr. Marley was packin'.

Since when did a Publix market become a war zone? When will we come to our senses?

Looks like you are protected right up to the point you pull the trigger.

Fake news. The word "musket" never once appears in the Constitution, or Bill of Rights...

Everyone is a good guy with a gun right up till they start killing random people.

You do realize the musket was a privately owned weapon of war, don't you?

Imagine explaining to your 10 year old that it's perfectly OK for the kind of person he should hide from at school to be walking around a grocery store. "Dad, why does he have all those guns? Why is it OK for him to have all those guns?"

Not sure what bearing that has on anything.

What kind of gun was available to the members of a well regulated militia of the day?

What kind of gun was available to the members of a well regulated militia of the day?

where does it say guns in the 2nd?

 

[berg80]

How many millions of people have unnecessarily died or been wounded from gunfire because of these words.............

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

I get the feeling you think you are making a cogent point. Your aren't.

The most modern weapons of the day.

neither are you.

you just posted this:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Where does it mention firearms?

 

[Auld Phart]

The most modern weapons of the day.

and available to the common man.

The episode, and others like it, speaks to a uniquely American quandary: In states with permissive gun laws, the police and prosecutors have limited tools at their disposal when a heavily armed individual’s mere presence in a public space sows fear or even panic.

He identified as a mass murderer...not Guilty!

I see. So you're saying all the SC rulings on gun possession over the years based on the 2nd A are unconstitutional.

Do you practice being a nitwit?

 

[odanny]

There are millions of Ammosexuals in this country, and what gets them hard is when they are loaded up with guns and ammo they feel something they can not feel any other way: They feel powerful.

An ad hominem...how mature.

I guess you believe that someone born with a vagina is a male.
