ARLINGTON (CBS) – A blog threatening members of Congress in the wake of the Tucson, Arizona shooting has prompted Arlington police to temporarily suspend the firearms license of an Arlington man.
It was the headline “1 down and 534 to go” that caught the attention. “One” refers to Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head in the rampage, while 534 refers to the other members of the U.S. House and Senate. Police are investigating the “suitability” of 39-year-old Travis Corcoran to have a firearms license “We certainly take this as a credible threat, and credible until we prove otherwise,” said Arlington police Captain Robert Bongiorno.
In his blog Corcoran writes, “It is absolutely, absolutely unacceptable to shoot indiscriminately. Target only politicians and their staff and leave regular citizens alone.”
Police visited Corcoran’s home and found a “large amount” of weapons and ammunition. Sources told WBZ-TV that 11 guns were removed.

@nanse "reported" ? You so-called liberals make me laugh - you're all for free speech until someone disagrees, then it's "report him!"
@LiberalJaxx Not all killing is murder. US troops have killed many under Obama's presidency. Is he a murderer? Or is it legitimate in war?

@LauraLeslie I don't advocate assassination. I merely defend it as potentially morally legitimate.
I argue that by many standards, including Just War theory, assassination is sometimes a legitimate tool.
As per the Declaration of Indep, when a gov becomes destructive those ends, it may be abolished or
reformed. ...and, presumably, the courts and legislature of that destructive gov would not necessarilly
agree that the gov was destructive. We further both agree that human life has inherit worth, yes? So,
if a gov is to be abolished or reformed, the best tool for the job is the one that spares the most human
lives? Better to assasinate Hitler than firebomb Dresden, yes? I assert that the US federal gov has
grown unconstitutionally large, and the legislature exceeds the powers delegated to it by the people in
Article I Section 8. ROUTINELY. Thus, the gov has grown destructive to the very ends that it was
established to create. Thus, it is legitimate to attempt to abolish or reform it. ...and the most moral
approach is that which spares the maximum number of lives. Thus, assasination is a legitimate tool
