The Department of Justice finally took action Friday, charging Kenya Chapman with illegally supplying a firearm to convicted felon Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, the 36-year-old shooter in the Old Dominion University incident. This case perfectly illustrates what Second Amendment advocates have been saying all along - criminals don't follow gun laws.
Chapman allegedly sold Jalloh the weapon despite the shooter's felony record that legally barred him from gun ownership. Once again, we see the failure of existing gun control measures to prevent violence, while Democrats continue pushing for more restrictions on law-abiding Patriots.
Background Checks Failed - Again
This incident raises serious questions about how Jalloh obtained the weapon and why existing safeguards failed. The fact that Chapman is only now being charged suggests our justice system's priorities may have been elsewhere during the previous administration's tenure.
While the Biden regime spent four years targeting legal gun owners and pushing unconstitutional restrictions, actual criminals continued accessing firearms through illegal channels. This case proves what gun rights advocates have argued for decades - more laws won't stop criminals who already ignore existing ones.
"This is exactly why law-abiding Americans shouldn't be penalized for the actions of criminals who will always find ways around the law," said one Second Amendment activist.
Under President Trump's renewed leadership, we're seeing the DOJ focus on actual criminals rather than harassing legal gun owners. Attorney General Pam Bondi's commitment to prosecuting real crimes instead of political witch hunts appears to be paying dividends.
Real Solutions vs. Political Theater
This case demonstrates that enforcing existing laws against criminals works better than creating new restrictions for Patriots. The Trump administration's approach of targeting actual lawbreakers rather than constitutional rights represents a welcome return to common sense.
How many more tragedies could be prevented if our justice system consistently prosecuted gun crimes instead of playing political games with our constitutional rights?
