Man fined in DC for saving a child's life with gun.

[SheHateMe]

So what is the reason why his guns werent registered? It doesnt sound like he is a felon. Registeration too cumbersome or impossible to attain?

Lazy?

 

[Genx87]

Lazy?

Who knows, DC isnt exactly known for handing out gun registration permits. They had a case about this a few years ago.

 

[Fenixgoon]

when did DC implement registration? he might have owned them prior to and just never bothered.

The DC gun registration procedures don't seem too difficult.

I think the guy did the right thing, and DC did the right thing by only fining him. He could have been given jail time.

If only he was a felon, then he wouldn't have had to register them per Haynes v. United States.

Perhaps the man felt that if he registered his guns, and ammo, they would, or one day would be taken away. Registration is a key element for confiscation.
Think it can't, or won't happen? WAKE UP! It already has.

So maybe he was a foaming at the mouth loon with serious pathological issues, possibly a danger to society at large? How does this help his case? It would appear to hurt more than help.

Thank you moron liberals and big government. Who cares if the child's life was saved

 

[piasabird]

He had the right to bear arms. What is there to register? Sounds like communism.

"If we could save just one life" is that how the speech went?

This is the same attitude as stealing to feed ones family.

If that where the case, he never would have gotten them to begin with.
Don't ya think? or do you?

just looked that up. holy shit that's unbelievable.

so if you don't register your firearms, would that make you a felon, which would then mean you weren't required to register your firearms?:hmm::hmm:

I guess you dont watch the news much. There are loons getting guns and going on mass murder sprees all the time.

IMHO anybody who doesn't register his weapons because he fears the government will take them away is a danger to society at large.

 

[mistercrabby]

We can debate the merits of DC gun laws but if the guy was breaking them then the authorities have to act or risk an equal protection challenge to the law. The fact that he did the right thing protecting a child appears to have gotten consideration.

How sucky would it be to watch a child die like that and have no means of assisting, like a licensed to carry firearm?

So in other news, a man with the viewpoint expressed above involved himself in terrorism.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is the latest high-profile target of poison-tainted letters sent though the mail, police revealed yesterday.

The leader of the nation's largest city was threatened anonymously in two letters sent to Bloomberg's offices in Manhattan and Washington, D.C., NYPD spokesperson Paul Browne said. An undisclosed number of New York cops who responded to one of the letters now "are being examined for minor symptoms of ricin exposure," but the potentially dangerous substance never reached the mayor.

"The writer, in the letters, threatened Mayor Bloomberg, with references to the debate on gun laws," Browne said.

Saying he has a "constitutional and God-given right and I will exercise that right 'til I die," the author warned that the government would have to kill him before he would relinquish his weapons, a source told ABC News.

So in Virginia, every gun owner is a danger to society at large?

According to the little brainwashed child, bshole, we might very well be TERRORISTS

I dont think there is any "might" about it, this particular right winger IS a terrorist.

The right wing in America is being radicallized in much the same fashion as Islamists in Saudi Arabia. RWEs are getting more and more violent in their rhetoric and more and more willing to engage in barbaric behaviour.
