Matthew Corwin MySpace Terrorist case update

Posted by simonov on 26 May 2007

We thought we would take a moment to update everyone (everyone who isn’t already at Calguns) on the Matthew Corwin case. As previously reported, six of the most obviously bogus charges against Corwin were dropped, and the bail was reduced. Then about a week ago Corwin’s attorneys worked with his mother to post equity in lieu of bail and he was released from custody.

As we have said before, not only is this case just another of many instances of harassment of gun owners that is common in California, but it also has disturbing implications, so far completely ignored by the national or local media, for the right of free expression. Clearly free expression is far more important for trendy columnists and Hollywood luminaries than for creepy gun owners.

Corwin is not out of the woods yet, and this will probably not represent any sort of “test case” for the off-list lowers now commonly available in California. His and his lawyers’ primary concern at this moment is doubtless getting the charges reduced as much as possible. Frankly, by now, after being laughed at by the BATFE, the DA probably is feeling much the same way. Nonetheless, we believe this wanton harassment is worthy of a monetary contribution to Corwin’s legal defense, so we have made the $1,000 donation shown above to Corwin’s legal defense fund. Just a little love from us socialists, big government apologists, and DOJ ass kissers to help in the good fight. BTW, the godless communists around here feel the same way.
