Karen Mallard for Congress is a shining sample of Statist stupidity and a wonderful example of why you should never vote for any government officials...EVER!
Unfortunately, she has removed the video this blog post is going to be about.
But, fortunately for us, EVERYTHING posted online is there FOREVER (no thanks to the NSA); but especially when someone else downloads it as evidence to your statist stupidity in order to repost in case you delete it! Good work Youtuber 33percent)
First and foremost, I'm going to address the 800 lb 
riding a 
in the room:
~~~> ALL GUN CONTROL LAWS ARE MOOT! <~~~
Most recently, due to the invention and sale of Cody Wilson's Defense Distributed $1675 CNC milling machine called the Ghost Gunner. And before the Ghost Gunner: jigs; and hardware store available drill presses and routers. So, anyone talking about and advocating for gun control is a joke and should never be taken seriously, let alone be voted for to make decision for your and your family's lives.
This publicity stunt for self-aggrandizement employs an Appeal to Emotion Fallacy to achieve the goal of getting elected. In essence:
"Elect me I will protect the children from inanimate objects; maybe (not really)...but only after I'm elected and paid with money the extortion racket I now work for steals from you...FOR THE KIDS!"
It is at best a thoughtless, reckless, knee jerk reaction based in ignorance and indoctrination. And at worst (probably what it actually is): Another intra-specifically, parasitic sociopath riding on the coattails of irrational sentiment of gullible, corporate-state, slave-seasoning, indoctrination day camp inculcated Statists; that are ironically, begging the people in government to fix the problem the people in government created by creating more problems.
Karen Mallard clearly has no clue what a gun is (as defined by the ATF), let alone how to render it "destroyed".* The part she should've sawed in half is called the lower receiver.
The part she actually sawed in half is called the barrel (w/ hand-guard) and is EASILY replaced. The weapon is still FULLY functional, even with the barrel and hand guard/rail sawed in half.
This is now a Title II weapon; which means her stunt violates the National Firearms Act of 1934; "which is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in [FEDERAL] prison." (You gotta do 85% of that time according to Jadakiss)
How ironic is it that Karen Mallard is campaigning on a stern gun control agenda and that her own campaign video technically would show that she herself can't even resist violating already standing gun control laws?!
Karen Mallard is already a criminal, and she hasn't even stepped into office yet.
Makes one think: Being in office must pay a lot more than meets the eye to risk 10 years Fed time for a $400 dollar*** publicity stunt. (Let alone cost her husband's masculinity and intelligence paid in the first 30 secs of the video.)
No matter who's in office:
Taxation Is Theft.
Statism remains slavery.
** By the way: FUCK THE NSA, ATF, and ALL government agencies!
