“A Salinas City Councilwoman will not face charges after someone stole a high power [AK-47/SKS] assault rifle from her home,” kionrightnow.com reports. “According to Salinas Police, on January 24th, someone stole the weapon and $700 worth of jewelry from the home of Gloria DeLaRosa [above] on the 700 block of St Michael Way. Because California Penal Code 30605(a) prohibits possession of an assault rifle in the State of California, Salinas Police Detectives and agents from the Bureaus of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF) conducted an investigation. The Monterey County District Attorney’s Office elected not to file charges against any persons involved based on the evidence available at this time.” They were elected to do what? Ignore the law when the lawbreaker is an elected official? Ban what they would keep for themselves? Yup. That’s about it.
As I also posted on the follow-up story – the police and the media are far more interested in the possible illegality of weapon than the actual theft. The only criminal is this case is the thief. The lady would have been better off never reporting the gun theft to the authorities.
Any of us could easily be in the same position…..
what is a “high power AK47sKS”? AND WHERE DO I GET ONE? i envision some sort of tacticool semi auto, with a short barrel, mechanical bayonet and 100 round drum of .950 jdj… also it probably has a bipod.
