Maybe the judge read my thread.:idea:
Folks,
This is a sign of things to come.
As the economy gets worse and worse in our country, it is only natural that a government would take steps to maintain an order that can quickly fade or fall apart when society experiences loss of stability (or use poor economic situations to further expand it's power). The reaction to certain events is often an encroachment upon individual rights, and in these times it has been happening at a fast pace.
They've been trying to "reason" and rationalize our rights away for many years, with many rights, and many cases. It's only a matter of time before rights previously held sacred (and upheld by the highest court) will be ignored by agents of the government such as this.
They've been trampling the Constitution for years. Did you really think it would stop with the Supreme Court ruling on something.
Maybe nobody was paying attention in all the afterglow of the Heller decision, but I noticed. The court went to GREAT lengths to rationalize the authority of the government to place certain restrictions. They even LIED and said that early Americans did not have privately owned cannon.
What this judge did is outrageous, and I certainly hope he is named in a suite (if one ever comes about). He/She needs sever punishment for the tyrannical trampling of citizen's rights.
ETA:
This was also a concern of mine when the LEAF document was first released saying that officers could detain people for the mere sight of a gun. The more they keep saying it, the more accepted it seems to become.
I'd really like to see the transcripts from that case.
