BREAKING ***19 yr old with small arsenal arrested*** (link)

in the process of approaching someone with a gun to disarm them i become a much easier target to hit, no? i don't know about you, but i have very little experience firing a gun, however, i do believe that if someone was running towards me to get the gun from me i'd put a hole or two in 'em no prob.

Try aiming down the sights with 2-3 seconds from draw to fire and see how good you are.

Again, most people are inexperienced.

A bat on the other hand is a easy weapon to kill someone while having a nice range.

I've never had a gun pulled on me I had to disarm.

Yet, in training - the situation seems much easier.

Also, you can beat a bat with either hand - most people can only shoot with their primary hand.

who is claiming injury? was there property damage/personal injury caused by his alleged actions?

no injury, no crime.

Stupid ass lohud

The infamous liberal communist paper that posted the names and addresses of gun owners, and in turn got it's ass handed to it by hackers, and then hired armed guards to protect the journalists




Go find your name here OP:

Google search term: lohud webuser database csv

If anyone read the article, the only weapon mentioned was the shotgun(unspecified type and caliber), as well as various large magazines(possibly against STATE law), and a taser.

The shotgun was legal, the ammo was legal, the taser may or may not have been legal, so the only thing in question was a few magazines that used to be legal everywhere.

The only real crime is reckless discharge, if that. His 1/4 million dollar bail is predicated on circumstantial evidence.

Murderers get less bail!

OP, you don't know the guy that was arrested. You have seen one picture that your personal bias leads you to believe is unflattering. All you know about him is that he had some guns and fired one of them on his own property in a shed.

Yes he broke some city/state ordinances. No, it wasn't the smartest thing in the world to do. That said, having some guns and shooting one of them out back in the shed because your city/state is so paranoid and anti-freedom that you could be arrested on the way to the gun range just trying to get there does not mean you are a homicidal maniac.

Have you for one moment wondered why he did that? Most of New England is damn near a police state. Hell, Bloomberg won't even let New Yorkers have a soft drink bigger than 16 ounces. The man (stop calling him a kid) probably just wanted to try out a new shot gun he just got for Christmas in the privacy of his own shed on his own property without getting an anal exam and paying a rediculous amount of money at a gun range that isn't close or welcoming because CT is one of the strictes anti-gun states in the union.

<<THIS>>

At age 19 I had wepons of mass destruction at my disposal in combat.

The kid was retarded for thinking what he was doing was acceptable. bottom line. i think everyone failed to see that point here. o well. and yea, he looks like a real winner.

and you're a bigoted, knee-jerk reactionary.

we didn't fail to see that.

oh ok, so you want to talk smack about me for simply presenting a story? interesting... why don't you do something productive with your time instead! something tells me you need to take what I said and let it sink in a little deeper, because no matter what i say, someone has something to say about ME, when all i am doing is reporting a story that i saw on lohud. damn this world is full of morons like you. i saw about 10 of 'em on this thread! i'm guessing you look like the kid in the picture? maybe you also have long unkept hair and a cold stare? ha!

did you feel the need to come back to this thread and post nonsense? yes you did! and I should be banned? ha!

you need to reread your own posts.

Its like this where I live as well. Lots of gunfire pretty much year round. With more during July and hunting season. Honestly I find it comforting, because its means that in this area you couldn't have riots, or flash mobs, because men with guns would instantly come out and put and end to the nonsense.

o for sure, MEN with guns....not stupid kids walking down a residential street with a shotgun in a town where hardly ANYone shoots in their backyard!

nah, i know exactly what i said, this kid is dumb for what he did, and he looks like scum of the earth

the gubment getting into this "pre-crime" BS is a very slippery slope. they can arrest anyone they think might possible commit a crime one day.

well hey, i dont think 250,000 dollar bail is right, and maybe the kid was only guilty of being dumb, seems that way, it isn't right to assume he was up to no good, i would have sent him into jail for a night to shake him up a little, tell him what he did was absolutely not safe, and then make him do some community service or something.

At 19 illegal to buy, not illegal to own, big difference in owning and buying

These cops are violating the DICK ACT!

these posters arenot saying "negative"; theyare saying positive for The Constitution Of The United States Of America.

Thereare Americans that never new they would have to fight for their Constitution, so arenot, yet, very good at it, yet. So give us a break, and thanks for the chance for the practice.

Nice post, thanks.
