Mosby also announced that in fact, the weapon police found on Gray was not illegal after all. He was in possession of a knife that was not only legal under Maryland law, but its blade was tucked in a safe position and was inside his pocket.
Freddie Gray, it turns out, was legally bearing arms, as the Second Amendment of the Constitution guarantees.
His arrest, and his death, appear to be a violation of a number of his civil rights, and those rights include his Second Amendment rights to carry a weapon. |

There is a slight complication to this interpretation. Given Mr. Gray's long police record is possible he could be a "prohibited person". And, as we have seen recently, MD doesn't pay all that much attention to any of our constitutional amendments or precepts.
Given the "political circus" atmosphere of Mr. Gray's case following his apprehension I suspect "Truth" - and soon Justice are the real victims. Gray, a known dealer, was detained after being observed to be engaged in a possible street deal on Sunday morning in Baltimore's "drug mall". Beyond that, we know little. |

| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
