Author Faces Prison On Bogus Gun Possession Charges


Plymouth, MA—67 year-old prolific author, Peter Manso is under a felony indictment in Massachusetts. This all happened while Manso was away and police responding to a burglar alarm call discovered he had a banned rifle and some “large capacity” ammunition magazines.

Manso was also charged because his gun owner’s card that was issued for life expired under a new state law. There are some side issues involving the legality of the search of Manso’s home by police.

One thing is clear, Manso is no criminal nor is he a threat to anyone. This boils down to a simple question. Was Manso simply engaging in his Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms?

With the recent decision of the U.S. Supreme Court on Heller vs. D.C. the answer is clear on its face. These state laws are in serious conflict with the Second Amendment according to Heller. Prosecutors on the other hand want to ignore Heller and simply violate Manso’s civil rights.

My first thoughts are that Manso should seek an emergency injunction from the United States District Court against this obvious civil rights matter. Of course that’s one for Manso’s lawyers to decide.

Perhaps someday soon we will enjoy an America where gun laws only apply to violent criminals rather than model senior citizens. Manso now faces up to ten years in the Gulag for these so-called “transgressions”.

Too bad; he should've had that rifle locked in a gun safe.
I would've rather,even though I dont condone it normally, have had one of CPD guys of over 20 years ago w/stickey fingers respond to that call. He might have lost his rifle,but there wouldn't have been charges.
Those "dudley dorights" on the east coast there did nothing but f*k that guy. Gimme a "thief" over those as*holes any day.......

Manso should contact the NRA: they might be interested in participating in his defense.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
