I missed the "necessary use of a firearm" clause in the 2nd amendment. I also missed, apparently, that he damaged anything other then a TV, and that he lived in a city.
Barring any damage done to anything other then the TV I don't think he should have been arrested.

I missed the "necessary use of a firearm" clause in the 2nd amendment. It's not needed. I don't know any gun owner who would advocate the irresponsible use of a firearm, and shooting for no good reason with other houses in close proximity isn't responsible use, nor is it a responsible exercise of our 2nd Amendment right.
I like it when idiots who misuse firearms get busted. The corollary to that is that those who use them responsibly should be left alone by the government. Instead of course the government uses the irresponsible idiots as an excuse to restrict the rights of the responsible.
