    What happened to Philando Castile was horrific—a tragedy for his loved ones and an assault on every American's right to keep and bear arms.

        Rights are suspended when detained. 😐

        One’s right to bear arms isn’t suspended simply by virtue of being detained. Furthermore, one’s right to life isn’t either.

        Uh, yes it most definitely is. Terry frisks for weapons occur all the time and those are during detentions

        No it absolutely is not. Habeas corpus and due process. Your constitutional rights remain in force unless found guilty of a felony.

        What a completely ridiculous statement. Why doesn't anybody just drive away when a cop pulls them over the?

        The Constitution does not prevent temporary detention. Don't conflate the two.

        Right to bear arms certainly suspended during an investigatory detention.

        If his gun had been taken and not returned, then yes. And he'd still be alive.

        Poor training caused this, LEO probably didn't have intent 2 shoot. Knowing he's armed the LEO should have had him get out with hands up.

        Sometimes it helps 2 put yourself in others shoes. Can't you see how the leo might have thought he was going 4 his gun?

        Sure. But when you're wrong you should pay. His statement said he never saw the gun. That's a slow draw for Philando, huh?

        Ridiculous. The average legal gun owner knows not to reach for ANYTHING if a cop says don't reach for something. Jury was correct.

        Testimony by other cops said "once u see the gun it's too late". Sad case but had been settled in LAWFUL court. Congressman is a slime.

        If that's true then why doesn't he still have his job? How come he faced a jury in the 1st place? Poor tactics, get him out of vehicle

        Agree...poor tactics. And it is scary being stopped when carrying. I'd rather step out, myself. But no manslaughter conviction here.
