I was actually defending Robert's First Amendment rights. But, you are correct, this forum is not a democracy. Point taken.

I'm not sure I understand this statement.

Maybe making them more illegal will prevent this from happening..... yeah, that's the ticket!

Your veiled attempt at an insult notwithstanding, you're welcome.

I'm sure this will come as a great shock to Mayor Bloominidiot, since he believes his gun laws have made NYC completely safe.

Some of us were going on what was reported, not conjecture on what he might have said or done, so I'm not surprised in the least that the judge released him. Sorry it didn't turn out your way.

No guess work involved. There simply was no evidence that he threatened anyone. Nice try.

Well said. Some people only want to , but I do believe in the First Amendment.

It's implied.

Wonder what would happen to alcohol-related accidents/deaths in that age group if the the law was changed so that they could drink.... I'm betting they would decline.

So, in other words, just STFU, right?

Isn't this pretty much the same logic the gun haters use to justify more gun laws?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I'm pretty sure watching those videos will make me dumber than I already am, so I'm gonna pass.

Well, gee whiz.... looks like the petition to keep him detained didn't contain a single allegation, so it looks like the assertion by some that he "must've done something" and that "there must be more to the story" has turned out to be patently FALSE. Good thing this judge recognizes a citizen's constitutional rights.

If Peterson is a man of conviction, he will resign.

The only person I've seen carrying was a guy at Kohl's one day last year and he was OCing. Conducted his business in a normal manner, was very courteous to the cashier and went on his way when his business was concluded. No one said a word about it.

I've got one of those big storage buildings with a door that's rotting at the bottom corner. A couple of days ago my son was putting the riding mower up and when he shut the door the bottom hinge screws ripped right out. I can still open and close it, but it just looks bad. Anyone know a good handyman/carpenter in the Franklin area who would be willing to come have a look and either repair or replace the door for me?

Based on what? No one said that was the reason. Charging guilt with no evidence, or just because you think something is so with no reason is just hearsay.

Does the fact that people get rousted by police every day for legally carrying weapons make it alright?

"Loon" is a subjective term, and your assertion that "this isn't about the 1st Amendment" is like saying that cops stopping you for no reason and searching your car without probable cause has nothing to do with the 4th Amendment. It's ludicrous. At any rate, is "acting like a loon" against the law?

It takes a big man to own up and take responsibility for his mistakes. It also takes a big man to forgive when there is repentance. At any rate, welcome back, WE.

Unarmed woman shot on her own property because deputy shoots without identifying his target, then she goes to the hospital and has surgery for the wound IN HER CHEST, and the SD says "with assurance" that's not true and that she was shot in the arm? SD is gonna pay for that one.

Woman shot by deputy after calling sheriff to investigate a man on her property. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/08/daniel-zimmerman/sd-county-sheriff-response-to-homeowner-shooting-silence/

Our society seems to have become one where folks have no problem with someone being arrested if they "think" he might have been a danger to others. To hell with proof and/or actual commission of a crime. And while they're at it, to hell with the Constitution too.
