Rome Police were joined in their investigation by the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, through the state Department of Health, officials said.
Lanigan said Cimo was in possession of three handguns and several other firearms — and that he did not have the proper pistol permit to own the handguns.
“He just didn’t get around to it,” Lanigan explained about the permit. He said Cimo knew he needed a permit for the handguns.
“He stated that he had the guns as a hobby and for self defense,” Lanigan stated, and had started collecting the weapons in 2017. |

| “Permits” are licenses of a right (liberty). The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled a state may not impose a charge for the enjoyment of a right granted by the federal constitution. A person cannot, and should not be compelled 'to purchase, through a license fee or a license tax, the privilege freely granted by the constitution.' —MURDOCK V. PENNSYLVANIA 319 US 105 (1942) |

| This would only be illegal in about six states. It is a great way to make criminals out of law abiding citizens for the sake of an agenda. |

"...the privilege freely granted by the constitution.' —MURDOCK V. PENNSYLVANIA 319 US 105 (1942)"
Yeah, well MURDOCK V. PENNSYLVANIA was WRONG.
It is not a 'privilege', and it is not 'granted' by the Constitution.
Even thought the outcome was correct, it used flawed reasoning. |

| Blasphemous: "Lanigan said Cimo was in possession of three handguns and several other firearms — and that he did not have the proper pistol permit to own the handguns." |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
