| A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by a Casper man against the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives because he did not face any threat of prosecution for wanting his gun rights restored. Christopher Kegler offered only hypothetical arguments that federal agents would prosecute him if he wanted to own a gun after he had a misdemeanor domestic violence crime deleted from county court records, according to U.S. District Judge Alan Johnson's order on Tuesday. Kegler's lawsuit, filed in February, deals with issues similar to one filed by Wyoming Attorney General Pat Crank in May. |

| #1 Hmmm...generally policing entities have a law enforcement and crime prevention function. Crime prevention certainly implies an obligation of government disclosure, where a crime can be prevented. The police agenda has always favored strict gun control, while the informed public recognizes that cops rarely encounter crime in action. It makes sense to enable good citizens to protect themselves. In America's history, no cop has ever admitted to bearing a private law duty of care to any member of the public. Ergo: buy a gun and protect yourself. The following article has been downloaded numerous times: http://www.firearmsandliberty.com/kasler-protection.html The role of police is auxiliary protection while self-defence is a US Code defence, and trumps the self-interested gun control agenda. Those of you who have yet to be a crime victim, be aware: when you face victimization, cops WILL NOT protect you. Protect yourself; you are all you really have. |
