[Dan from Michigan]

This what I know so far. Shamaya is in the Oakland County Jail and was incarerated yesterday. I do not know what he is charged with, or where he was arrested. What confuses me here is that unregistered firearms is usually considered a misdemenor here. I figured he'd just post a bond and be released. I looked up the local news links and found nothing.

Doug,

You know some people around there.

Got any ideas?

To borrow a turn of phrase from Jeff Foxworthy:

"If you hate guns, but are willing to sic a SWAT team on someone who pissed you off, you just might be a liberal."

Michigan law requires registration of all handguns, and payment of a fee, under the guise of a "safety inspection."
