Any of those would be accessible. The stupid law jeopardizes a swath of possibilities.

I don't understand why he was charged. After G. Gordon Liddy's conviction didn't his wife become a huge gun collector?

Are you expecting flowery prose, guys? The article isn't worded vaguely and presents all relevant information. What's so stupid about the way it's written?

First off, what does the statute that he actually violated say? What was the actual crime? (many of the copppers here have speculated, but it the article implies facts not in evidence) What bearing does it have that he is 75 years old? What bearing does it have that he is farming 160 acres in Cedar County?

Secondly, what is "three shotguns and a long gun"? Isn't that four long guns? Why does it not ask the question if he knew that he was going through a process that had an inspection, why was he STUPID enough to have guns in the home?

The article is written as a train wreck. It is full of emotional fluff that because we believe in the fight, many are willing to overlook that the article was written by a second grader.

no info from bendy on this
