Point of order. These laws are written well in advance by people whose intent is the utter destruction of freedom. They sit quietly in filing cabinets or on hard drives, periodically getting reviewed and updated, waiting, just waiting for an excuse, a panicked legislature, a popular stampede to be inflicted on the country.
Do you really think a 1000+ page bill is written overnight?
The enemies of freedom spend decades sharping their long knives.
Another excellent point. Patiently waiting in the grass, waiting for the best moment.
After further pondering on this subject what I said here, although true, insufficiently describes the truth.
After a tragedy like Sandy Hook law makers are pressured by gun control advocates to implement laws curtailing the right to bear arms that supposedly will prevent similar tragedies in the future. Of course these laws only make future tragedy more likely by disarming those who would other wise be able to defend the innocent with their personal fire arms. A similar truth exist in this instance. A teen’s humor is taken out of context and he faces imprisonment while true terroristic speech takes place in Mosques throughout the country and is ignored because of political correctness disguised as protecting religious freedom.
So in this case when the words of this young man are taken in context of the conversation in which they were written is obviously not a threat but taken out of context they are prosecutable as a felony.
