I bet those cops are patting themselves on the back for violating this mans rights - although his comments were stupid - I don't believe that they were enough to put him in a mental institution and take his fathers gun. Obviously the press twists the story around to make it seem like we are all safer now- something they put a lot of stock into - the idea of FEELING safer , while nothing at all has been done to make us safer and in fact has helped to make less safe as they move to disarm us.
