AR-15 stolen from house of North Carolina Congresswoman, and 2nd Amendment advocate, Renee Ellmers. I am sure the person who took it will only use it to promote freedom, right?

U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers’ husband reported an AR-15 rifle stolen from the family’s home in Dunn last week, according to a police report.

The weapon had been left leaning against a gun locker in an unlocked garage on Kingsway Drive, the report said.

The rifle, a gun case and a GPS, with a cumulative value of $1,100, were reported stolen, according to Chief J.D. Pope. Police think the theft happened on the night of Oct. 15.

“According to the report, they had been out target shooting and brought the gun back and leaned it against the gun safe,” Pope said. “ … The garage door was left unsecured, according to the report.”

The case remains under investigation and likely will be treated as a burglary, he said. Ellmers’ husband, Brent Ellmers, was listed as the victim, Pope said.

As you have probably already guessed Ellmers received an endorsement from the NRA back in 2010, and of course has voted against any silly bills that might impede a patriotic citizen from getting their hands on military style weapons, and even spoke out about President Obama's desire to introduce some reasonable restrictions:

"President Obama is once again exploiting a tragedy for political gain and eroding our constitutional rights for the sake of an extreme liberal agenda. We need to have a serious discussion on how we can prevent troubled individuals from carrying out their insane intentions. But attacking our legal rights and liberties through abusive executive orders destroys the very principles that have protected our citizens from oppressive government power for over 236 years."

So EVERYBODY in the country has the right to own a gun in Rep. Ellmers opinion. Unless of course they are a troubled individual with "insane intentions."

Hmm, I wonder what the mental condition is of the person now in possession of her family's AR-15? Kind of too late to evaluate that now isn't it?

Perhaps somebody should have told Rep. Ellmers that the only thing that REALLY stops a bad guy with a gun, is somebody keeping him from getting that gun in the first place.

P.S. By the way can YOU guess who endorsed Ellmers back in 2010? I betcha can!
