What did guns have to do with a discussion of her rights at a town meeting, and how did they know she had them? Horrible treatment of this family.
If you believe in the Constitution, the odds go up dramatically that you are going to own a gun.
Guns had nothing to do with it. The politicians sent the police to harass the family at their home. They arrested her for arguing with officials (”terroristic threats” and “contempt”). The police investigated the family and discovered they had a couple registered firearms. They threatened to keep her locked up with a bail so high she couldn’t pay it, unless she surrendered her firearms.
That’s the way they do things in NJ. This family is now fair game for any and all criminals. The police will hold this family responsible for any crimes committed against them. Burglars can rob them blind, and they better not complain too loudly, or they’ll be locked up for it.

She made a carelessly though out empty threat while being evicted from the meeting that she’s be back with a gun.
Same thoughts
Somehow the story jumps from an argument about tax appraisals to reading the constitition, then to a (accused) gun threat, then she is ‘asked’ by police if she minds answering some questions down-town but she cant ride with her husband to the police station, then she is told to turn over her guns for safe keeping, now she hired a lawyer to get them back
Is this really the story she told her lawyer?
If I was upset about a tax appraisal and went to complain to them about it I wouldnt bring up the subject of owning guns to them.
