Elon Musk, as a legal immigrant, values the Bill of Rights.

Yes. HOORAY Elon!

It does seem that the process is the punishment. Under this kind of system the government can punish you for non-crimes even when they know there is no chance of conviction for breaking a law.

”British police harassed a British subject”

As subjects rather than citizens, they’re only a little better off than slaves. They have less rights than the migrants being dredged up from the worst places on earth.

Let’s not forget the first part of the first Amendment. Freedom of religion. That’s trampled on often. Without it, the rest of the Amendments fall like dominoes.

I hope the US is retargeting some of our nukes at London, Berlin, and Paris, the new ground zeros of tyranny. WWI was such a waste of time.

Several years ago, I was a passenger in a plane heading for San Francisco. I had the window seat and the guy next to me noticed that I was reading a gun magazine and he said "I would never own a gun and nobody can make me own a gun"

I said, "fine, that's your right - but you do know that you benefit from guys like me that own them, practice with them, and keep them ready?"

He was incredulous and asked me how that worked.

I said "because at least 50% of the population are gun owners, anybody who thinks that your home can be entered and your family and possessions will belong to them has to think very carefully before breaking in. You benefit because we gun owners are ready behind our doors and they have to assume that you're one of us".

Elon may be an odd guy, but it seems he is a good American citizen and takes the Constitution seriously.

I recall an incredible story years ago where this guy from Florida (or Texas) had a concealed weapons permit and was traveling through Maryland. He had no weapons as he knew Maryland would not allow them. He was pulled over for a traffic violation and his concealed permit showed up when they ran his plates. He was detained on suspicion of having an illegal firearm and his car was literally taken apart piece by piece to try and find a gun.

I have a friend that lives in Maryland, I will never go there because of those communists.

No, I don’t have a link, this is recalled from memory.

The police say they were responding to a complaint from a person who had seen the images online and felt threatened.

WTF...? How can a picture of someone holding a gun makes you feel threatened??

Unless you are a deer in Venison Gathering Season (AKA Deer Hunting Season)!!

“Elon Musk, as a legal immigrant, values the Bill of Rights.”

Except for not allowing the advertising of guns and ammo on X. Actions speak louder than words.

While he never faced trial, the process was a considerable punishment.

Die polizei play the same BS game here ... ask the J6 crowd; they'll tell you all about it.

While he never faced trial, the process was a considerable punishment. Mr. Richelieu-Booth was arrested, jailed overnight, and rendered unable to work for weeks...

Any time any gov't entity does something like this, where charges aren't brought, charges are dropped, or there is no guilty verdict, their department should, at absolute minimum, be responsible for 100% damages. Situations like this, where the arrest clearly shouldn't have happened in the first place, should warrant three or five or ten times damages.

The only exception to this is non-violent drunks who are dropped in the drunk tank and just released the next day.

The Second Amendment gives teeth to the BOR.
