Without commenting on the overall Locke situation, The NRA is caught between the Police Lobby and public gun owners on this one.
Here is a quote from Minnesota gun owners association: "A gun-rights group highlighted the timing of the raid, saying it appeared from the video that Locke was awakened by a confusing array of commands from officers pointing lights and guns at him.
“Mr. Locke did what many of us might do in the same confusing circumstances, he reached for a legal means of self-defense while he sought to understand what was happening,” said Rob Doar, a spokesman for the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus."
The NRA unfortunately is not what it used to be.

Silence is bad, but it could be worse for Amir Locke. Philando Castle legally owned his gun, but NRA condoned his death by police in 2016 because of marijuana possession.

In this case Locke didn't have a criminal record and wasn't the subject of the no-knock warrant. He was murdered in a matter of 9 seconds.

I don't doubt police did a thorough search on him for priors. If he had a record, I'm pretty sure we'd already know about it.

The usual suspects are no doubt doing the usual mental gymnastics to justify this shooting
