Robinson had harmed no one, had not taken anyones property and was merely traveling peacefully in her car when she was kidnapped by police and thrown into Rikers 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 childrens 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.
This fund is to help us do that, plus assist with the legal battle to come.
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 shes 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 youd like to call Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark, and peacefully express to him that this woman has been through enough and doesnt deserve to be locked in a cage for protecting herself and her children, you can so at this number: 718-590-2000. Also, if youd like to donate to her legal fees, you can do so at her Funded Justice page.

That was an adorable quip but your intend satirical witticism crossed the line to become snarky and backfire to prompt me to show that it was the Founding Fathers who indeed had pointed heads.
I will never let get away by trying to be a smart ass and completely ignore irrefutable historical truth .although you may continue to show you are an ignorant ass when failing in any argument against any gun control by saying that it violates the Second Amendment.
Such a claim is extremely hard to square with the history under our nations Founding Fathers where all of the colonies under the Founding Fathers [except of course the Quaker-dominated Pennsylvania which blocked the creation of a militia] mandated a requirement that each of the colonies specifically keep track of ALL privately owned weapons.

All men are created equal was still a DAMNED LIE told by Thomas Jefferson regardless of any way you might TRY to SPIN it and MASK the truth.
If Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Fathers truly believed that all men are created equal, then they should not have owned slaves or all should have become slaves .that would have made all men equal.
Oh yea, in the eyes of the law .of course!!!

While the American Revolution was great, it however did not sweep away the English common law .most now independent colonies still followed the English common law as it had been interpreted in the colonies prior to independence which included the ban on traveling armed in populated areas

SInce the Founding Fathers and the now independent colonies elected to continue following most English common law .thusly, there was no general right for individuals armed travel when the Second Amendment was adopted and most certainly no right to travel with concealed weapons.Talk about gun control.
Yep, the colonies had it really bad under the Founding Fathers. The traditional English restrictions on traveling armed persisted with one important change. American law recognized an exception to this prohibition for individuals who had a good cause to fear an imminent threat. Nonetheless, by the end of the century, prohibiting public carry was the legal norm, not the exception.
Gasp !!!

For in 1786, Boston acted on the legal principle established by the Founding Fathers in that it prohibited the storage of a loaded firearm in any domestic dwelling in the city.
How bout them apples, Pete. It would surely frost your ass today, if you had to obey the mandate set that the guns in your house had to be kept unloaded.

Abortion, gay marriage, the assault weapons ban in 1994, NSA spying on American citizens. Doesn't matter to you - the State is your god.

Perhaps - however The Declaration of Independence would indicate that "to everything there's a season".
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
If the signers of the Declaration were alive today, it's a pretty safe bet they would agree that "it's time to shoot the bastards".

I continue to be very much shocked at some of your disputing assumptions which are absolute sanctities only to you where they will forever remain quite improbable propositions delivered in the dishonorable heat of defiance and indignation.
All of this is to say that based on what the signers of the Declaration did during their day, you are a stupid fool to believe you can predict what the signers of the Declaration of Independence would do today.
Get frigging real .asshole. Quit trying to predict what dead people from long ago would do today and clean up your own act to properly conduct yourself in your own actions.

You will no doubt be surprised to learn studies have shown that there are much higher instances of mental disorder in creative geniuses than in the general population.
And while it's impossible to be completely sure of a correct diagnosis of a historical figure, that hasnt stopped researchers from making educated guesses.
I can provide you with a speculative look at the mental health of 11 of history's big thinkers when I have time between my stock market action.
Oh, not that I would ever try to compare myself to any one of them .although I will graciously permit you to freely do so.

I just remembered that Sigmund Freud used cocaine more than a personal indulgence; he highly regarded it as a veritable wonder drug.
It messed his mind up so much that today many refer to a fuck up as a Freudian slip.
They do so when they try to gloss over a parapraxis .an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is interpreted as occurring due to the interference of an unconscious subdued wish or internal train of thought.
You know the feeling of having many times committing a parapraxis .I have seen you do it often.
