[QUOTE="jdagreek, post: 1442048, member: 14916"] It is highly possible the guy was trying to be cute with his remark. The nature of the words don't strike me as necessarily a direct threat to go out and kill elected representatives of state and the federal legislatures and/or their employees. Still, in the political climate following the Arizona shooting someone has to be pretty foolish about cracking jokes about it. The reality is that it is never smart to make any type of threat towards another individual or others. What also strikes me most about this incident is that apparently law enforcement confiscated his "known" cache of weapons and ammunition, then released him. That doesn't seem consistent to me. If they think the guy is a threat then the prudent thing is to keep him under lock and key until they decide he is/isn't a danger to society. It is highly possible that this individual has guns/ammunition in multiple locations. It is very possible that he has more than one residence/property where it is possible for him to keep weapons and ammunition. If the guy is truly a loose canon, then it seems more likely to me that he would have weapons in multiple locations. So, if the guy is truly a danger then they could have turned loose a man who had weapons and ammunition at his disposal. To me this smacks of someone trying to cover his/her ass. Just do something to make a show of it. I also question the "due process" issue. Seems to me if what the guy said is sufficient to warrant taking his property and license then they must have thought he violated some legal code. If that is the case then wouldn't it be more prudent to charge him with the crime. I know of few criminal issues where they confiscate property, turn the person loose and then proceed with some investigation. In most situations, law enforcement doesn't make an arrest or confiscate property unless they have more than some "hunch" of a crime having been committed. [/QUOTE]
