DOJ Assistant AG for Civil Rights, Harmeet Dhillon, is suing the city of Denver, Colorado over its "assault weapons" ban law. While I'm glad to see this type of lawsuit as the Denver "law" is prima facie unconstitutional, I'd much rather see those responsible for these types of laws be criminally charged and perp walked in chains as these "laws" aren't just unconstitutional, instituting them is a criminal offense. To that point, Denver's Mayor Johnson stated, "Denver will not be bullied by any administration, especially one that has shown so little regard for public safety or the rule of law." As you can see by that quote, he doesn't care about a civil lawsuit as it will be paid for with forcibly stolen taxpayer dollars and won't impact his life at all. He probably wouldn't be so smug if he was rightfully and justly looking at a prison sentence. TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242: "Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death." #CityLife #denver #CivilRights #crime #democrats #milehighcity #policestate #urban
