LOESCH: Right. This could have been very different if Botham Jean had been, say he was a law abiding gun owner and he saw somebody coming into his apartment. I mean, there’s no -- I don't think there’s any context that the actions would have been justified. If I see somebody coming into my house and I’m not expecting them and they’re walking in like they own the place, I would -- I would act to defend myself. And this could have been very differently had he actually had a firearm on him. Maybe it would be a different individual, she might be the one carried out.

Okay, let's play this through:
A white woman breaks and enters a black man's appartment.
He kills the intruder.
Then it turns out that the woman breaking and entering into his appartment was a cop.

What happens next?

1. Too many damn guns

That's America... we are to the point where almost everybody has a shoot them before they shoot you mentality.

[unblock]

2. coming out in favor of cop-killing? bold choice for the nra.

3. Yeah, we all know how that turns out! New ad: NRA - Supporting Cop Killers Since 2018

4. I'm sure THAT would have ended well

for a person of color...shooting a cop, yeah that’s the ticket.

5. That black guy would be been jailed in two minutes and already in court on multiple charges......

The most serious as COP KILLER. I can hear it now,the cop was merely rattling doorknobs to make 100% sure her neighbors were safe. Then this black guy comes out of the shadows to BRUTALLY murder the officer for doing her job.

Quick jury trial and he's doing life without the possibility of parole.

8. So true!!! Nt

14. or shot and killed right away but the first cop that shows up

[mythology]

6. The same thing as always, the NRA would advocate for yet more guns

[flotsam]

7. He would have an unfortunate accident

and have died in custody. All cameras would have malfunctioned...

9. Holy crap! I bet Dana pissed off a lot of Blue Lives Matter folks didn't she?

Or do they all secretly think this?

[gratuitous]

10. The NRA's terrorist dream

Everyone within the boundaries of the United States has to be strapped and ready to shoot to kill at all times in all situations.

If you're a member of the NRA, please reconsider your membership. The NRA is currently acting like a terrorist organization, having strayed far, far away from any responsible advocacy or programming.

11. She Also Had A Gun

It likely still would have ended with Botham Jean being shot dead. If Jean had pulled out a gun and been shot, or pulled out a gun, shot at, and missed the cop and then was shot to death by the cop it likely would have been easier for supporters of the cop to say it was a justified shooting.

People on the right and people like Loesch would then likely have claimed that Jean was in the wrong because he should have just listened to the cop and then taken his complaints to the police station after being arrested. How many times have Dana Loesch and others on the right defended blacks and other minorities when cops have unlawfully entered their homes? A few years ago there was a case in which a police officer killed a man in his own home after the man refused to cooperate with police when the came to his home based on a false report of a medical emergency. Did Loesch and the right defend that man?

12. That's very scary to contemplate

Sounds like the NRA is blaming the victim here.

13. They think if you don't own a gun you deserve what you get

Even in your own home or a church.
