[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 401598, member: 735"] Most terroristic threat laws require a specific, not implied, threat to constitute a criminal offense. So I could hypothetically say “nothing would be better than killing everyone I know and I have 10,000 guns and a million rounds of ammo to make me happy” and that would not rise to an arrest-able offense. Do I think that represents a reasonable gun owner? No. Should that behavior lead to a forfeiture of 2a rights? Maybe. I could get on board with that with proper due process. But that also crimps 1a rights with regard to sarcastic free speech etc. I damn sure wouldn’t want my above use of hypothetical speech being used to vacate my 2a rights. Bottom line, peeps prior speech / actions may have been abhorrent but may not have actually violated a law. What is LE to do then? Make an arrest or seizure because it “feels right?” [/QUOTE]
