Apparently one of our fellows in Occupied Massachusettstan had the temerity to make some comment to the effect of "One down, 534 to go". He was shortly thereafter visited by the Arlington PD who have revoked his license to carry and confiscated his firearms pending a consideration of his "suitability" to own guns.
Was this comment idiotic? Sure. Inflamatory? Probably. Does this individual deserve to have his second amendment rights taken away for exercising his first amendment rights? Absolutely not. Part of freedom of speech is the freedom to not have adverse government action taken against oneself for that speech. Nevermind the fact that the MA licensing of firearms ownership is unconstitutional on its face; due process clearly has no place in this commonwealth.
While his comment might have been over the line, it was certainly not criminal. Go ahead Arlington Police, come and take them. I am TJIC.
Thanks for your support!
