Idyriss Thomas, 22, was arrested in Glassboro, N.J., after police responded to multiple 911 calls from neighbors who reported seeing a man with a gun. Once police determined the gun was unlicensed, Thomas was taken to jail and charged with unlawful possession of a weapon. His family posted a $2,500 bond.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t realize that what I had in my hand would cause the events that happened today,\u201d Thomas told Philadelphia&#8217;s WPVI. \u201cI had the airsoft gun in my hand, playing with it, taking shots at a rubber ducky &#8211; not harming anybody.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Understandably, the law treats criminals with BB and other toys as if they had a real weapon in the commission of their various crimes, but the example above is just stupid. A fellow in his yard, shooting at targets isn&#8217;t hurting anyone. Yeah, his neighbors were upset, but that&#8217;s their problem for being ignorant hand-wringing pussies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>jerry920 sends us a link to an article in Fox News about the strict gun laws &hellip; <a title=\"Jailtime for Air Soft guns in NJ\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=38808\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Jailtime for Air Soft guns in NJ<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38808\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
