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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
