Owning Guns Now A "Crime?"

"Police in Howard County, Maryland conducted a nighttime, no-knock raid on the home of Mike Hasenei, whom they apparently suspected of stealing items from two police cars burglarized last month. They found nothing, but they did shoot and kill Hasenei’s Australian cattle dog. The police say the no-knock raid and tactical entry were necessary because Hasenei is a (legal) gun-owner." Apparently now a legal gun owner scares the hell out of the cops. It’s a good thing he realized they were cops and didn’t come downstairs with a gun in his hand (his right, in his own home) or they’d have shot and killed him as they’ve done countless times before elsewhere; one specific time I remember is when they trumped up something to allow them to raid the home of a man who owned land the sheriff coveted. He (rightly and legally) came downstairs with a gun in his hand and they "filled him full of lead." They “negotiated” with his widow and bought the property “for a song.” Personally, I don’t think his being a (legal) gun owner should have made ANY difference and the judge should not have issued a “no-knock warrant” based on that. Doing so just adds to the feeling that we’re entering a “jack-booted thug” period. By the way. There doesn’t seem to be any mention of whether or not any stolen items were found. Am I asking too much? (The Agitator)
