Außerdem war er noch im Besitz eines Jagdmessers und einer Unze Marihuana.

Besonders pikant: Crosby hatte sich in der Öffentlichkeit als Gegner von "automatic weapons" und CCW dargestellt!

This is an interview on gun control from his website:

BP: In your book you made it clear that you believe in the right of one to bear arms, to protect your property by the use of firearms. Does that mean that you do not believe in gun control? I’m specifically talking about Saturday night specials, assault……

DC: No, I don’t think there is any need for anybody to carry a gun in public. I don’t think there’s any need for anybody to own automatic weapons, I don’t think that – that you are a responsible human being if you leave guns around where kids can get to them. And, I think we have a problem in this Country with the culture surrounding violence. Our culture applauds violence, it wallows in violence, and that’s not good in a country with this many guns around. ‘Cause kids get given the wrong message. They think its all ketchup and the guy gets up again. They know you can shoot the lights out, they don’t realize you can’t shoot the lights back on. So, there’s a real problem there.

I don’t think that the answer is, get rid of all the guns because that’s just nonsense. That’s like saying, okay, we’ll pass a law that gravity doesn’t work anymore and rocks will fly. There are guns in 60 or 70% of the households in this country and nobody is gonna give ‘em up. They’ll tell you, Okay, you do it first. None of them are gonna give those guns up, so don’t be, you know, an ostrich with your head stuck in the sand and say we’ve got to get rid of all the guns – that’s not gonna happen – ever – it’s not going to happen.

Therefore, you’ve got to work on people. The gun really is just a tool, it’s just like a power drill, it magnifies your effort and it’ll magnify your mistake just as fast as it will magnify the effort, but its really an inert piece of metal, it has no innate goodness or badness to it. The problem is in the operator. And, I think if we can’t get rid of the guns and it’s patently obvious that we can’t, that you then have to work on educating the operator.

You have to make it clear to people what the reality is, you know, that this is a disastrously efficient little gizmo and, yes, it will punch holes in the piece of paper down 40 yards away, but it will also scatter your brains all over the wall… and that’s not something that you can do lightly. I think at the same time that you educate people how to use a gun, you have to educate them about the sanctity of life, and I don’t see that goin’ on.

AHA!!! Ich meine eine .45-er ist auch eine "automatische Waffe", oder?!?

Wieser so ein &§$%#*& Heuchler! :evil:

Na schön, über die Sache mit "Notwendigkeit" kann man argumentieren ... aber was genau ist eigentlich falsch an dieser Einstellung zur Waffengesetzgebung?

Ich finde es heuchlerisch, wenn sich Mr. Crosby öffentlich GEGEN das verdeckte Tragen von Waffen und gegen "automatische" Waffen (er meinte damit sicher auch halbautomatische) ausspricht und dann später mit einer "automatic pistol", einem Messer und Rauschgift erwischt wird.

Das war übrigens nicht der erste Waffenrechtsverstoß von Mr. Crosby.

Und so einer hat die Chutzpe anderen Leuten das Recht auf das verdeckte Führen von Waffen und den Besitz halbautomatischer Waffen absprechen zu wollen.
