Police Take Gun From Civilian. Was it legal?

Here's one more distorted report which makes a citizen look evil or perhaps deranged. The most important fact was omitted, i.e., "Did he have a license to carry the weapon? Did he have the gun legally?" Journalists have been conditioned (and condition citizens) to oppose guns, even legal ones. Why don't they object to police carrying loaded guns? Others report drunk drivers who sometimes kill civilians. Sometimes the drunk drivers turn out to be police officers. How many of them carry loaded weapons while intoxicated? This report does not explain why psychiatrists were concerned about the weapon. The actions of the psychiatrists make them appear to be acting weird without the omitted facts. Under the US Constitution civilians have a right to carry weapons. Calling the police who arrested the man might be intimidation. It is a felony under MA state law to intimidate a person from the free exercise of a right guaranteed under the Constitution. There is no consistency regarding guns. There was no outrage when a private citizen carried a loaded weapon into a Boston psychiatric clinic and shot dead one patient in the name of protecting a psychiatrist. The prevailing misguided belief is that psychiatrists have had their genes cleansed of mendacity, greed and sadism. Their drug company funded PR flacks created a massive taxpayer funded boondoggle which denies freedom to civilians in the name of health. How charming!
