Million Mom Leader Arrested, Gun Charges
This is just too funny to not share--
A Springfield [Illinois] woman who began lobbying against gun violence after her son was shot to death in 2002 was arrested last week when police allegedly found an illegal gun and drugs in her home. Annette "Flirty" Stevens, however, said Monday she's innocent, and the arrest is an attempt by police to get her to give up information about unsolved crime in the city. The handgun, which had a scratched-off serial number, and drugs allegedly were discovered Friday morning inside Stevens' home in the 2500 block of South 15th Street. Authorities said they obtained a search warrant for the residence as part of an ongoing investigation of a recent series of drive-by shootings. No one has been hurt in the gunplay. Since her son's death, Stevens has become involved in the anti-gun-violence movement. She helped establish and is president of a Springfield chapter of the Million Mom March, an organization that aims to prevent gun violence. Last fall, she appeared with other anti-gun advocates at a Statehouse news conference to urge federal officials to renew a ban against semiautomatic assault weapons. Jonathan Lackland, Midwest regional director of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, the march's partner organization, said he was shocked to hear about Stevens' arrest.

So, why am I not surprised? This type scenario is becoming all too commonplace. Lord, help us. Best wishes.

Of course she has a gun. She is obviously following in her sons footsteps. The police would be extremely careful in getting a search warrent for someone with possible strong political connections.
It usually is a case of liberal eliteism. My favorite example is when Jane Fonda and Ted Turner called the police for a prowler. When the police came Jane and Ted were well armed in their home. It is only OK by there ideas for the elites to have firearms, the masses are not smart enough to have them.
