No mention of a gun, just the ammo in this article.
What the hell is this place coming to?
Did I get moved to the USSR as I slept?
What an idiot, if the world is coming to an end, I'be running out and spending my money on potato chips, beer and gin.........
...Deer Season...obviously.
Do you have to forfeit kitchen knives when placed under a restraining order as well?
“Authorities said they removed nearly 80,000 rounds of ammunition from the home of a South Bend man who warned that the world was going to end. “
Poor guy. And just think. He was a mere 20,000 rounds from having “enough”.
How may rounds does it take to stop the world from ending?
bump
whew...thought this was the ND quarterback in trouble again.
Why was it necessary to block the street?
It seems to me that the gun shop called the police because of his comments. How else would they know unless it was a routine search of the house because of the TRO.
If “world was going to end.”, why do you need ammunition? They say you can’t take it with you.
Was there any legal justification for confiscating his ammo?
See my tagline.
The world will eventually come to an end and 80,000 rounds, while a good start, will not be sufficient to deter that from happening.
“The restraining order had been taken out by an ex-girlfriend, Schmidt said.”
It is a federal offense now to have a gun or ammunition if there is any type of restraining order, co contact order or order of protection against you. All someone has to do is go down to a judge and tell them they are afraid of you and the judge will grant one of these orders. Judges seem to sign off on these as a matter of course because if something bad happens after they refuse to sign off on one of these it will come back to bite them later. Most people don’t realize that they are committing a federal offense by having a firearm when one of these things is issued. It is also a federal offense to have a firearm if you get convicted of any sort of domestic assault, domestic battery, etc., even if it was just a silly little scrap. The federal firearms penalties are harsh. This guy could be looking at several years in prison with no parole even if the original restraining order was some bogus thing she got for no good reason. Of course it may very well be that this guy was a scary creep too, but decent people are getting nailed with these federal gun laws.
Too bad he didn’t utilize it when the thugs came knocking.
Just so you know, he could kill one zombie every second for over 22 hours.
“Rieder told employees at a gun shop where he bought 18,000 rounds that he believed the world was going to end, officials said.”
Ever been down there when the show comes? You’d swear the world was going to end. Now trying to shoot each snow flake might be a problem.
