I think its safe to say that all of us strongly support 2nd amendment rights while we want to rid our ranks of those "gun people" who do illegal acts and things that are just plain stupid or wrong. We all have met them - we move three lanes over when they show up at the range or we don't go near their gun shops. None of us on this forum know the details and the real evidence in this case, just what is in the news. I grew up in Mobile and I used to be a Mobile Police Officer many years ago. But I will tell you that gun ownership rights are respected and strongly supported by all law enforcement in the Mobile area. Its a good area for owning guns. When I lived in the area, it was one of the easiest areas in the country to get a concealed handgun carry permit (local sheriff must issue). I will not jump on the arrest of just one (of several hundred gun dealers) in the area with the claim that he was set up.

I will back my brother gun owners, but I will not back the dirt bag that endangers us all. My opinion is that as a group we should do alot more self-policing so that the government is not tempted to... (Flame me if you want.....)

I'm curious as to how this case plays out and what evidence is provided in court. Thats why we still have public trials by a jury of peers in this country. Down there, you would have a hard time finding a jury made up of non-gun owners.
