re: Decorated combat veteran arrested in NY - charged with 5 felonies

Don't get me wrong. Its a prick move and I understand what you are saying, but you are using shades of gray. Sounds very questionable as to whether or not it was illegal, but the cop thought he was in violation of the law and arrested him. Simple as that.

Again if it was illegal, he had time to get rid of them. The law wasn't passed and signed into law yesterday. Hell, we have been posting about it for a month on the OB. If he were in violation, he had more than ample time to get rid of them legally.

Its just like when I got a speeding ticket in a brand new speed zone. The prick cop got me for speeding about 3 days after the new zone was posted. I pleaded to the cop and to the judge about not knowing about it because driving that section of road for 10+ years. They both told me that I was in violation. OK, I was. Still a prick move though.

If he were in violation of the law, the cop was only doing his job and the guy was in violation of the law. He should have been arrested in accordance with the law. If he wants to be a test case - go for it. Thats how many things have changed in this country. Otherwise don't plead ignorance. It won't hold water.

Look there are plenty of laws I disagree with, but if I choose to violate one of them I am also choosing to pay my penalty in accordance with the law. That's why I choose to only violate speeding laws.

All I am saying is that we are a country of laws and rules. That is one of the things that seperates us from other countries. According to the cop, he broke the law. Simple as that. The Supreme Ct. will ultimately determine if the 2nd Amendment protects high capacity magazines.
