A Massachusetts landlord told a Harvard University graduate student that he wanted her to move out of her apartment because her legally owned firearms made some of her roommates uncomfortable.

"Since it's clear that Leyla wants to keep her firearms, it would be best for all parties if she finds another place to live," Dave Lewis, president of Avid Management, said in an email to the household obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The request that the student, Leyla Pirnie, move out came after her roommates searched her room while she was not home and found her firearms. That prompted one of the roommates to email Lewis requesting he verify that Pirnie was in compliance with applicable firearms laws.

"We discussed with Leyla that all of us are uncomfortable with having firearms in the house, and that their presence causes anxiety and deprives us of the quiet enjoyment of the premise to which we are entitled," the roommate wrote to Lewis.

Pirnie said she feels her roommates violated her privacy and now they and her landlord are trying to violate her rights.

In general, we agree on some things, not on others, sometimes strongly not.

Considering your counters to positions I haven’t taken, I conclude that I am not getting through to you. Your fault, my fault, nobody’s fault, it doesn’t matter; there is a failure in communication.

“This article is interesting…”

Interesting enough, especially the last sentence.

“On the other hand, courts rule against the Constitutionality of laws passed by government identities.”

It’s not a matter of “the other hand”. It’s the courts enforcing the Constitution which is the supreme law of the land.

I think we’re done here. It seems to me, evidenced by your insistence on countering things I haven’t said, that you’re too focused on the one aspect to see what I’m actually trying to say and that continuing would be an exercise in futility in which I am not interested.

Well, I agree that the landlord is a cad. I just disagree that he is violating the young lady's Constitutional rights. Only the government can do that. Citizens have to untangle such problems in the courts. I hope she can put the screws to him, big time. I think she can also nail her x-roommates.

I'll still stand there right by your side if the chips ever go down. Count on it.
