Joe Mahr at The Toledo Blade -
One man's lonely fight to bear arms - Francis Warin, I salute
you! [scopeny]
Francis Warin had a nagging habit.
Nearly 30 years ago, he toted a submachine gun into Toledo's
federal courthouse and made a simple demand: Arrest me.
He got his wish.
Two months ago, the Ottawa County man mailed a homemade gun and
silencer to an assistant U.S. attorney. To ensure there was no
confusion, he sent the package by certified mail, complete with his
return address.
Warin again got his wish: He was arrested once more.
Now the 72-year-old gun-rights advocate is fighting to get out of the
Lucas County Jail - staging a hunger strike to try to force
authorities' hands.
[End the War on Freedom]
The article is blatantly biased, but even so it's obvious that Mr. Warin, a French immigrant, is a much better American than nearly everyone born here.
