On January 2, 2009 Brian Aitken was wrongly arrested for illegal possession of firearms while moving from one residence to another within the state of New Jersey.
The firearms were legally purchased and owned by Mr. Aitken while residing in Colorado. He passed an FBI and a CBI background check to purchase the firearms. When he moved back to New Jersey he was cleared by TSA to fly with his firearms (checked baggage, of course).
Upon arriving in New Jersey he contacted the New Jersey State Police and asked if he needed a license or to register his firearms. He was told that he did not have to regi

oh, really, you mean like how you break the law smoking pot, unimatrix? you're always so contradictory, but that's very, very characteristic of your type of blinders-wearing ultra liberal. I vote liberal and you make me embarrassed of the party.
Additionally, unlike unimatrix according to her posts regarding pot, he didn't break the law.

Having read the article I signed up in order to cast a vote and get the guy some air time. From what I can tell, he didn't do a single thing wrong.
Personally I don't own any firearms. Where I live I don't feel the need for protection and I no longer hunt. But what works for me doesn't necessarily work for others. And I strongly support the rights of citizens to own guns. The idea of an armed government and an unarmed populace isn't very appealing. That's what the citizens of Iran are going through.
Mr. Aitken deserves support. He's being rail-roaded.

I hear ya guys. But Mr. Aitken has already been found guilty. Even though he's not been convicted yet a judge has already removed his visitation rights with his kid. He gets to see him 1 hr a week in the presence of a police officer.
This is supposed to work where you're innocent until proven guilty. That hasn't happened yet, but he's already suffering consequences. And the reason the judge gave for this was violence - although there was no violence involved - this is a weapons charge.
I don't disagree with you; but I stand by what I said. He's being rail-roaded.

sounds bad for the cops but I notice a break in the account.
the story stops after he contacts the police, then starts again after he refuses to allow a search. The details between the two sound kind of pertinent. Why did they want to search him and why was he refusing?
Did a bit of research and I found only one other report dated january 5th.
http://blogs.phillyburbs.com/news/bct/tag/brian-d-aitken/
Apparently he was also arrested for owning illegal ammunition (I don't know whether that charge is good or not but is not mentioned in the freedomwatch article). It also mentions that the police were responding to a domestic dispute which is both the sort of thing to make police very nervous about the presence of fire arms and more likely to find a reason to take children out of a home.I am also curious as to exactly how he contacted the police. There may be a record of the conversation which would stand in his favor.
[edit] I can't tell if this is the same Brian Aitken though they do look somewhat similar. If so the guy claims to be an alcoholic which may explain the domestic, the dispute, the reaction of the cops and taking his kid away.

I looked around on the internet, and while the results I found are obviously not definitive, it seems that New Jersey is one of the few states that bans HP bullets. I know for certain they are legal here in Texas. I believe they are legal in Colorado where it appears he bought them.
According to the news article, the police responded to a "verbal dispute," which can mean a plethora of different things and is pretty extreme grounds for removing a child from his care. Also, the main link implies that the order to remove his son from his custody stems from the firearm possession, not the "verbal dispute."
Hopefully for his sake there's a transcript of his conversations with the police about his guns.
Even if one assumes that the Brian Aitken in the Bebo account is the same in the article, his "claim" of being an alcoholic sounds pretty tongue-in-cheek to me and shouldn't be used to form any sort of judgement on his character.

@freecorbinj Fair points.
It's all supposition till someone can dig up the police report. I could easily see him asking about the guns but not the bullets. 7 years is a lot for that though. Generally courts in heavily populated urban centers have wildly over populated penal systems and don't hand out big jail time without a reason. What that reason was is another question we have no answers for.

Looks like your guy doesn't give two craps about the people that elected him. All the things he promised, must be a big let down? It's funny to think that now we have another Republican in the office, and everyone thought he was a liberal dem. lol.

He hasn't posted any Ron Paul advertising idiocy in days though and he has started including actual article links instead of trying to force you to access his pet website even though he's still putting them as the main link which is annoying. I remain hopeful however.

Sounds like he was ignorant about the law and got busted. Last I checked ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law.
Guns are dangerous, it was up to Aitken to get right with the gov. The fact that he slacked off and messed up is his fault..If he was unable to understand the law of the state he probably should not have fire arms at all.

the argument is that he did not in fact break the law as far as the firearms charge is concerned. If this is in fact the case then the cops are in trouble and even then it does not explain why they are prosecuting so fiercely.
I did find some additional stuff though which may explain why the cops were being hard asses about the whole thing.

Actually, if you had paid attention or done some research you'd realize that Aitken DID indeed have all his ducks lined up with the state government; he checked with them to make sure he followed the state of NJ legal process for transferring firearms from an old residence to a new one. They have no grounds. You're grasping at straws.
