[QUOTE="GlockedandLoaded, post: 1441787, member: 16465"] [url]http://boston.cbslocal.com/2011/01/18/arlington-man-loses-gun-license-due-to-blog-about-tucson-shooting/[/url] [I]ARLINGTON (CBS) A blog threatening members of Congress in the wake of the Tucson, Arizona shooting has prompted Arlington police to temporarily suspend the firearms license of an Arlington man. It was the headline 1 down and 534 to go that caught the attention. One refers to Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head in the rampage, while 534 refers to the other members of the U.S. House and Senate. Police are investigating the suitability of 39-year-old Travis Corcoran to have a firearms license. We certainly take this as a credible threat, and credible until we prove otherwise, said Arlington police Captain Robert Bongiorno. In his blog Corcoran writes, It is absolutely, absolutely unacceptable to shoot indiscriminately. Target only politicians and their staff and leave regular citizens alone. Travis Corcoran of Arlington Police visited Corcorans home and found a large amount of weapons and ammunition, which have been removed. The length of the suspension, or whether Corcorans license will be revoked will be determined by the outcome of the investigation. Corcoran runs an online comic book business, HeavyInk.com, in Arlington. His views prompted comic book writers like Paul Cornell to tweet his fans, I cant stop someone selling my books, but please dont buy them from HeavyInk. And another from writer Gail Simone, You have my pity. May you grow a soul someday, because you desperately are in need of one. Corcoran has not been arrested and does not face any charges. Arlington police saying they are working with the Capitol Police in their investigation, and members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation have been alerted.[/I] :rant: This really pisses me off. he broke no laws, but was open about his opinion of government so what does the government do? not only suspend his license but come and take his guns and ammo!
