ACLU lawsuit gets mans confiscated guns returned.
Advertisements [?]
It might not be a 2nd amendment case, but at least it's a start...



An elderly Broward man who police say was suicidal when they took his guns from him will soon have his weaponry back, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Robert Weinstein, 85, has been without his firearms since February, when Broward Sheriff's deputies, fearing for Weinstein's safety after he reportedly expressed suicidal tendencies following his wife's death, took the guns from him.


Weinstein was represented for free by the American Civil Liberties Union. An ACLU spokesman said it might be the first time they've ever helped someone get their guns back from a law enforcement agency.



Check out the pic attached to the story and tell me that it's not biased or hateful towards firearms owners...
