3 Boxes of BS

I don’t know if this person is typical or not, what do you think?

An 18-year-old Kansas City man caught this week with drugs and a gun didn’t make many excuses when questioned by police.

According to an affidavit filed Thursday in federal court:

Police pulled over a car Anthony L. Robinson was riding in Tuesday at Thompson and Bales avenues, when a warrant linked to the license plate.

Let’s examine  — first “a warrant linked to the license plate”.
Does that mean the young man had committed a crime and not answered for it according to the legal process?

Officers found a semi-automatic handgun concealed in a bag, marijuana in Robinson’s jacket pocket and more than 13 grams of crack-cocaine in his pants.

Given the fact that he was driving, which of the 3 do you think was most dangerous at the time: handgun, marijuana or crack cocaine?
I think the Cocaine, eh?

His honesty will probably be used as a reason one or more of the charges are dismissed or plea bargained down, according to his interview:

He was headed to buy a cigar because he was rolling a blunt to get high, which he does every day.

Again….which would you rather have out on the streets: someone illegally carrying a firearm and that is his only crime or someone getting high every day?

He bought the gun a couple days earlier for $30 and put it in the bag to hide it from police. But he said there were no problems with the gun because it wasn’t stolen and it “had no bodies on it.”

Needs to work on his logical reasoning skills and legal knowledge: If you are arrested on a warrant while driving a vehicle, I don’t think the cops need any other reason to search the vehicle. They are going to find the handgun Sparky.

Not sure how he knows it wasn’t stolen or has “no bodies on it”….must trust his supplier extremely well. Of course, it entirely possible that he is telling the truth. Drug users have been known to trade firearms they own for drugs.

The crack? “It’s mine and that’s how I roll 24/7.”

Now is this a firearm related crime or a drug related crime or both?

He didn’t endanger someone by having the firearm in the same manner as he endangered others by driving while high — “that’s how I roll 24/7″

Should we have fun and list all the city, state and federal laws that were broken by this drug user?

Or what I would really like to see is an anti-rights advocate — a gun control advocate explain exactly how any new law would stop this guy from getting another firearm upon his release.

Any anti-rights advocate willing to take me up the challenge?

I think this is the type of crime that are most often involved with “concealed handguns”. I think this happens more often then a person with an issued license or permit being involved in a crime.

The statistics certainly back it up but ultimately this is about our rights.

As Justice Scalia pointed out in the oral arguments of McDonald v Chicago

JUSTICE SCALIA: There is a lot of statistical disagreement on whether the Miranda rule saves lives or not, whether it results in the release of dangerous people who have confessed to their crime but the confession can’t be used. We don’t — we don’t resolve questions like that on the basis of statistics, do we?

MR. GURA: That’s correct, Justice Scalia, and as your opinion -

JUSTICE SCALIA: Well, why would this one be resolved on the basis of statistics? If there is a constitutional right, we find what the minimum constitutional right is and everything above that is up to the States….
