San Francisco Chronicle Brings Up Worst Example

In an editorial in The San Francisco Chroncile offering why the Supreme Court should not overturn local jurisdiction bans on guns, the writer brings up the worst example:

“In 2006, Harvey Jackson pleaded guilty to illegal drug distribution and firearm possession after he was caught selling cocaine out of his home. Two years later, when the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Second Amendment protects a right to possess a firearm in the home for self-defense, however, Jackson challenged his conviction, arguing that the amendment guaranteed his right to keep a gun to protect himself while conducting his home drug enterprise.”

Frankly this is downright shameful on the part of writer Juliet A. Leftwich as well as the paper. While she is legal director of Legal Community Against Violence, her cherry picking Jackson as an example is just a clear-cut bias and a disgrace to Mr. Otis McDonald, the retired man who seeks to be allowed to legally own a gun to protect his home and his wife.

Leftwich’s comments are biased against law-abiding citizens to the point that it borders on bigotry against anyone in the inner city. Her statement puts Mr. McDonald in the same category as Jackson.
