Default D.C. grabs guns from soldier

Quote:
The District grabbed the guns belonging to 1st Lt. Augustine Kim and won’t give them back. Two years ago, the South Carolina Army national guardsman had been injured on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Now he’s fighting to restore his constitutional rights.

Before deploying overseas, the soldier drove his collection - which included an AR-15, a Beretta 9mm and several .45 caliber pistols - to his parents’ house in New Jersey for safe storage. Upon his return to the states and recovery, Lt. Kim wanted to bring his weapons back to his home in Charleston. On the way, he stopped at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Northwest Washington for a doctor’s appointment. That’s when his troubles started.
EDITORIAL: D.C. grabs guns from soldier - Washington Times

If, we had congresscritters with balls they would tell D.C. that they could not violate the second amendment like this. Then they would tell them that all federal money is cut off until they regain some common sense. But, alas, we have obama and the democrats to deal with.

Yes, but at what cost? How much out of pocket money has he spent? How much time has he wasted? His career was put in jeopardy because of these *******. He should have a right to sue these ****ing morons in D.C.

Just think how upset they would have been had he actually been exercizing his right to keep and bear arms by carrying one on his person. With his training I'm betting he could have prevented a couple of D.C. cops from violating that right.

He will get more than his money's worth if he sues. The gun control monkeys are hell-bent on finding out exactly how badly they can get their asses kicked by picking on Americans' unalienable rights.

OOH! I know that song. It's--it's "The Last Moan of the Anti-Gun Weenies". No?

Well it's sung by Johnny Cash so I don't know of I'd call him a weeny.

Funny the west was won when people decided to elect a sheriff and quit fighting in the street. In short churches and women civilized the west.

So I guess some guys carry that nostalgia for the open town to the extreme.
