Robinson had harmed no one, had not taken anyone’s property and was merely traveling peacefully in her car when she was kidnapped by police and thrown into Riker’s Island at the Rose M. Singer Center with violent armed robbers and murderers. Robinson was driving from Texas to New York to bring her two children to spend some time with their father when she was arrested by the NYPD in the Bronx and charged with “265.03 FC (CRIM POSS WEAPON-2ND DEGREE C Felony)” for having her legally purchased and licensed handgun in her glovebox. Robinson, who spent five years on active duty, had secret military clearances and also has her active and valid Texas License to Carry. According to Federal law, an individual is not restricted from transporting legally acquired firearms across state lines for lawful purposes except those explicitly prohibited by federal law to include convicted felons; persons under indictment for felonies; adjudicated “mental defectives” or those who have been involuntarily committed to mental institutions; illegal drug users; illegal aliens and most non-immigrant aliens; dishonorably discharged veterans; those who have renounced their U.S. citizenship; fugitives from justice; persons convicted of misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence; and persons subject to certain domestic violence restraining orders. Therefore, no federal permit is required (or available) for the interstate transportation of firearms. Robinson does not fit any of the restricted person criteria as described above. However, having the gun in the glovebox is likely what the New York police have taken issue with. A Funded Justice page, started by James Gressett, reads: “Deanna Jo, loving mother of two adorable boys, Veteran, Activist and friend in liberty, was arrested in NYC on Nov 11 while traveling from Texas, when her self-defense handgun was discovered in her vehicle. Please help us free her from Rikers. Two beautiful little boys are wondering where their mother is after the family of three traveled across the country from Texas to NYC so the children could spend time with their estranged father. Deanna Jo is a responsible mother and a veteran with military clearances and a Texas License to Carry. Concerned primarily with her children’s safety and posing no threat to any other person, Deanna Jo arrived at her destination, where her estranged husband took the children into his house then contacted police, who found her self-defense handgun in her vehicle. No mother should be forced to leave behind her best means of self defense, yet the City of New York sends a clear message: “We do not care about your Constitutional rights or your personal safety, and the only people who have guns here are criminals.” Now Deanna Jo sits in a cage at Rikers Island, stripped of her rights and incarcerated, and her children are missing her dearly. She needs to return to them so they can be with their mother. The city has basically told her that her life and the lives of her children are meaningless and that her right to protect them is trivial. We are a group of friends who want to see Deanna Jo reunited with her children as soon as possible. The goal set on the fundraising page is $25,000 and as of this writing has reached $6,400. The Free Thought Project spoke with Second Amendment and free speech activist Michael Picard who bailed Robinson out on Friday. He told us that Robinson is going to fight the charges all the way as there was no victim of her alleged crime. “She served her country in the Air Force, and this is how New York serves her,” Picard told TFTP. Unfortunately for Robinson, this is the second time she’s had an unjust experience with police. As TFTP reported at the time, Robinson was raided by police who were there to take her children over an alleged custody dispute. Robinson, who had a camera rolling at the time of the raid was seen pinned into a corner by Hunt County Deputy Josh Robinson who began beating the handcuffed 9-month pregnant woman as she screamed out in horror. Deputy J. Robinson was subsequently no-billed by a Hunt County grand jury and has since been reinstated to full duty. Robinson was cleared of any wrongdoing and CPS later admitted there was no warrant. If you’d like to call Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark, and peacefully express to him that this woman has been through enough and doesn’t deserve to be locked in a cage for protecting herself and her children, you can so at this number: 718-590-2000. Also, if you’d like to donate to her legal fees, you can do so at her Funded Justice page.
This fund is to help us do that, plus assist with the legal battle to come.”

It's nothing BUT shit. WHY are you celebrating a UNCONSTITUTIONAL SEIZURE OF PRIVATE PROPERTY?
Federal and New York State laws prohibited her from having the weapon in her glove compartment…she violated both of those laws by having it there.
Kind of tough to protect herself when the gun is locked away in the trunk, don't you think? Of course, you cheer the State once again for their gun-grabbing policies and their making a law-abiding citizen a felon for not begging permission. This woman was a threat to NO ONE except any bad guys who intended to do her harm. Maybe you think women should be defenseless and count on the gooberment to protect them - I don't know. But it sure seems that way. This goes back to what I said on another thread to you - TPTB don't give a rat's ass whether you live or die. “She served her country in the Air Force, and this is how New York serves her” What a sad commentary on your Air Force career that you would refuse to allow a fellow Officer her Second Amendment rights.
Boo Hoo! Her Second Amendment rights were not violated. The Federal and States laws were violated.
He has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:…” You would have hated the founders.
This line you have posted here introduces a recitation of certain acts of Parliament regarded as unconstitutional exercises of authority by the Americans. It doesn’t pertain in any way to me because I of course was not in the English Parliament when this great Nation was founded. Nope, I hate no one and I would definitely never have hated the Founders. But I really do fail to understand ignorant people who have an attitude to feel they are entitled and have the absolute authority to selectively choose which laws they want to obey and which laws they will disobey. I have never seen any evidence that our Founding Fathers had that attitude. Ergo, I would have no reason to have hated them. The Founding Fathers had “legal principles”….they placed belief in God and acceptance of natural moral law (derived from reason and corroborated in Judeo- Christian revelation) as the foundation of the American system. I admire the “legal principles" of our Founding Fathers and I am okay with those… are you too? I am going to post something to you that may flat knock you on your ass with you attitude if you have never read it before. It is one of the principles written by our Founding Fathers. I trust that you will not go into shock as you read this: I trust I didn’t shock you too much. Actually, check that….I hope the Hell that I did! Stone, I fear it is as GI stated about you in a different way….that you have been reading The Free Thought Project too much and listening to Deckard spouting his “cop-hating manta” too long while ignoring the overtures introducing you to things of substantial reality. Those being “common sense and good judgment.” Oh yea, stone, you really have … But, BRO, I have faith that it is only a temporary thing because I like you.
I'll get back to you. 🦁🐐🐑
I'll get back to you means I'll respond better when at regular keyboard. Hope you had a good thanksgiving.
I really knew that.

Not celebrating anything, Pete. … UNCONSTITUTIONAL …
I haven’t read anywhere those laws were declared unconstitutional….perhaps you have.

Principle 22 - A free people should be governed by law and not by the whims of men…For liberty is to be free from restraint and violence of others, which cannot be where there is no law.
That was actually written by John Locke.
