‘Large amount’ of weapons seized from blogger who cheered Tucson shooting

A Boston-area blogger who declared “one down, 534 to go” after the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has had his gun license pulled and a “large amount” of weapons removed his home.

Travis Corcoran, a comic book retailer in Arlington, Massachusetts, made the comment in a blog posting on January 8, the day of Giffords’ shooting.

Corcoran reportedly declared on his blog, “It is absolutely, absolutely unacceptable to shoot indiscriminately. Target only politicians and their staff and leave regular citizens alone.”

The “534 to go” comment appeared to refer to the other 434 members of the US House, and the 100 US senators.

“We certainly take this as a credible threat, and credible until we prove otherwise,” Captain Robert Bongiorno of the Arlington police department told WBZ-TV.

Sources told the station that 11 guns were seized from Corcoran’s home after police pulled his gun license pending an investigation of his “suitability” to carry firearms. It wasn’t clear if the 11 guns were the sum total of the “large amount” of weapons police said they found.

Corcoran’s blog appears to have been pulled offline, or restricted to authorized users.

Arlington police have requested the aid of federal law enforcement, the Boston Globe reported.

Corcoran considers himself an “anarcho-capitalist,” a radical branch of libertarianism. In a Tweet on January 8, Corcoran declared, “Not all killing is murder. US troops have killed many under Obama’s presidency. Is he a murderer? Or is it legitimate in war?”

In a Twitter exchange with reporter Laura Leslie, he declared, “As per the Declaration of [Independence], when a [government] becomes destructive those ends, it may be abolished … and the most moral approach is that which spares the maximum number of lives. Thus, assassination is a legitimate tool.”

He also argued that his blog is “to some degree, political theater (with a very serious anarchocapitalist theme) and thus long-time readers understand that ’1 down, X to go’ COMBINED with my strong assertion is … entirely in keeping with a liberty-loving stance…”

Corcoran runs the Heavy Ink comic book store, and the controversy surrounding his blog comment has reached the comic book business. His LinkedIn profile describes him as a software engineer educated at Cornell University.

He has 90 days to appeal the loss of his gun license in court, Arlington police said.

    This guy fits the bill of being a shooter sometime in the future, I’m glad they got his guns and his license revoked. I’m for people being armed but responsible people, making threats and having weapons isn’t to responsible.

    What did he do? Make a comment on a blog? Half the internet has made hateful comments. If they are targeting people based on their “potential”, then all of Wall Street should be locked up!

    This clown claims his blog is “political theater”, beck claims he’s a comedian, how I would love to meet the thespian and the lesbian and introduce them to a critic and heckler all rolled into one. P.S. No offense to Lesbians was meant, but I heard that beck was a woman named Gwen from Spokane who likes to dress in Swag. It is Swag isn’t it? If a guy dresses like a woman it’s Drag, so if a woman dresses like a guy it’s got to be Swag, right?

    I don’t think his comments were particularly threatening. But maybe threatening enough to where his gun privileges should be reviewed.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_R37UM43PITK7QU5SHTDWSU7SNA emme

    Beck and Fox News protest too much! They know they are a factor in the climate that causes this type of acting out….they would not be trying so hard to project blame onto others if they didn’t feel so guilty. I am aware that I am assuming that they are capable of feeling guilt.

    Well, after the attempted assassination of a US Congressperson, few people start loudly recommending, to reporters no less, assassinating the rest of them as well as their staffs while explaining that it’s the moral thing to do. Cross-index with those that have large numbers of guns and you can spot the dangerous ones.

    It’s also illegal to threaten the life of the President. Should the Secret Service stop investigating those?

  • Anonymous

    Umm he openly called for the assassination of every elected official in congress. That’s not protected free speech, it’s a crime.

  • Anonymous

    The article doesn’t highlight the correct threat well enough. Note this section:

    “the most moral approach is that which spares the maximum number of lives. Thus, assassination is a legitimate tool.”"

    He said it to a *reporter*. Add that to “534 to go” and oh by the way, he owns a large number of guns.

    He made himself sound like a dangerous loon, and got what he deserved. If he’s not a dangerous loon, then he can get his stuff back.

    It’s only appropriate if you’re life is in danger, and this overblown bullshit rhetoric of “this is a war, so killing politicians is OK” is delusional. If we lived under a dictator that was killing citizens for sport or to quash political dissent, then yes.. killing leaders would make sense. But this is a [mostly] functioning Democracy.. you don’t get to call for killing duly elected officials just because you don’t like the party in power or their policies.

    This is exactly what they are talking about when they are saying that too many irrational people are making entirely too many bullshit claims and calls to violence. The Founding Fathers would be fully disgusted with the likes of Beck, Palin, Hanity, and this douche bag blogger.

    Calling for the assassination of elected officials just because you’re pissy you didn’t get your way is the epitome of sour grapes. If you’re that pissed off, leave the fucking country and don’t come back until leaders you like are in office. Your rights stop where they infringe on someone elses, and killing someone because you don’t like them is clearly not acceptable. Not in a civilized country, anyway.

    No it is not a crime. Most people in this country think that Congress needs to be in jail…
    This is supposed to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people, but
    it is obvious that this has become a government of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations.
    Assassinating members of the Congress, Supreme Court and the White House is the logical thing to do in order to rid this country of corruption.
    It is however, fortunate for government officials that the american people are obedient
    cowardly sheep.

    OK folks the point here is not that this guy “fits the bill” as a shooter. It doesn’t matter if he has an arsenal fully automatic weapons and grenade launchers or he was simply some fucking slimy comic nerd spouting violent screed. The point is that as adults we should be able to filter what we say. Just because you can say something, doesn’t mean you should. And if this guy couldn’t judge what that limit is then it’s good that somebody came along slapped the stupid out of his pudgy man-child mouth. Fuck this guy and fuck everyone on here who thinks this is a good example of excessive govt control. Grow up and learn to pick your battles. This is not the guy you want on your team.

    i think ive realized something new about the internet and how its changing human society…
    basically, the anonymity people have been taking for granted when they post their (key word here) “thoughts” on the web was always false, but the fact that people rarely get caught or punished for those thoughts leads them to treat it as a journal of their minds ramblings… almost like talking to close family members or friends… nearly the whole world does it…
    the funny and scary thing is, people still take what you “think” on the internet and apply the same rules and understanding to it that they would a book you have written or a prepared speech.. or something you just walked into a supermarket and screamed at the top of your lungs…. it is a bizarre blending of private and public.

    i think the world would be… hmm.. “nicer”.. if we all treated these internet thoughts differently… somehow… maybe give them half as much weight as the words you really mean when you look someone in the eye and say what you THINK to their face.

    so much of us are just cowards, but angry cowards.. we see the internet as a place to be free, to say what we actually think, but we dont seem to realize the words actually have MORE weight than the ones we leave hanging in thin air… the words on the internet stick forever.

    Alright. hahahaha. Any who is in favor of “complete free speech” (whatever that is) should also note that grown people don’t talk like this. The matter here has nothing to do with free speech. What he did was against the law. So if you are citing government protected right to free speech you must also recognize the government’s ability to step in and deal with this guy. And yes threatening someones life is worse that saying god hates fags. because 1. god isn’t real (at least no more real than you or i) and 2. most gay people I know can deal with those statements because they are grown people who know that those people from that baptist church live in some lost alternate reality that is in no way aligned with the new way. they are being left behind in the ‘rapture’ just like this fat baby comic titty sucker. Stop being little fat slobby babies and grown into your god self. stop blaming god and fags and glenn beck. and yes… in a just world glenn ‘sweet cheeks’ beck would be sharing an apartment with this guy where they could feed each other crispy cream cheeseburgers while giving eachother superman tatoos. and youre getting your teams mixed up in the Animal Farm.

    Let me get this straight: a grown man who loves comic books so much he has his own store. he loves guns. he advocates for the assassination of all members of Congress and their staffs. Glad he was dumb enough to make that statement so he could be dealt with. Who gets his comic book collection?

    What this guy said is no different than what glenn beck said. No matter what other crap you throw out, you cannot deny that. And perhaps you should actually read Animal Farm before making any further comment.

    …And did you mean you didnt “think his comments were particularly threatening” because… you did think they were kind of a threat or because you were pointing out the fact that this guy didn’t have the balls to actually say that he was ready to take care of the other 534 himself (just insinuate that he or someone else would do it). Either way your both fucked. Your fucked because you obviously can’t make solid decision and he’s fucked because he lives in the same comic book hero fantasy world that all of the characters in his store inhabit.

    The fact that glenn beck goes free for obviously criminal rhetoric doesn’t excuse this guys fat fucking mouth. I agree with you that they should both be reprimanded (gawd how pathetic is that, that two grown men need to have their mouths washed out and their toys taken away). And animal farm was not calling for the protection of conservative morons spouting violent screed.

    and Sarah Palin has a website called TAKEBACKTHE20 that LITERALLY puts cross hairs (as seen through a scope!) over the names of various politicians!!! It lead to the shooting of a congresswoman who remains in intensive care, six DEATHS, and 18 INJURED!!! Go arrest her, seize her weapons, and take away her freedom. Go! Do it now! Quick!

    I think it’s important to tell stupid people that they’re stupid. Stupid people have been running this country for ten years because intelligent people have been too polite to tell stupid people how stupid you are.

    For instance, if I were to tell you that it would be better to go for large bills instead of small bills when robbing a bank, you would take that as a threat to rob a bank. You see, only stupid people think like that. You’re a stupid person.

    While I don’t exactly agree with him; I believe he has freedom of speech …

    Do I agree with him? No.
    Do you have to agree with him? No.
    Is he entitled to his opinion? Absolutely.

    Now that he has been arrested for comments which don’t seem very threatening at all by the way, I expect that Sarah Palin will be “brought to justice” for her threatening website called TAKEBACKTHE20 that LITERALLY puts cross hairs (as seen through a scope!) over the names of various politicians!!! It lead to the shooting of a congresswoman who remains in intensive care, six DEATHS, and 18 INJURED!!! … when will she have her weapons seized and business ruined?

    hey buddy I understand your desire to concentrate on the semantics here and respect that. I was simply trying to point out that repsonsible, grown people need to think about what they say and realize that just because they think they might be only ‘baiting’ the other side they are ultimately responsible for the threatening things they say. While this guy didn’t have the guts to say that he would be loading the next clip he did stop just short of that and did make a threatening comment. He needs to serve as an example of what happens when you threaten someone with violence. Because that is what his comments meant. You and I both know that. Sorry for any petty remarks I made against you because I do sincerely respect anyone’s attempt at really getting to the core of a message and having high regard for the language of a statement. But with all due respect, I don’t think you are being critical enough here.

    Not counting my First Amendment pen, I don’t own an arsenal of weapons. That being said… I don’t disagree with Travis Corcoran! Indeed! One of my biggest regrets is that President Cheney gave the orders to shoot down Flight 93 before the doomed plane could reach its final destination: the Zionist Capitalist Pig Building in $ewertown (a.k.a: Washington D.C.).

    There is an intense and growing rage seething out here in the hinterlands; it wants a pound of flesh from the ruling class elite! Like many of you posting here… I now see that the United $tates of Perpetual War Profiteering has become a great evil, a violent KKKristian/Zionist beast that threatens the very existence of humanity. Amerika’s delusional, violent and criminally insane foreign policy is the root cause for most of the world’s troubles.

    and your analogy is flawed by the way. It would be more accurate if it went something like this… Shortly after someone robbed a bank with little to no security, you, in a public forum, start shouting to everyone within earshot about similarly vulnerable banks that anyone, quite possibly yourself can rob. Now while this offense would most likely not result in prosecution, ufortunately for mister Corcoran, making death threats (even the implied brand) most certainly will.

    Well….. it’s not technically a “thought” is it, if he writes it down in an ‘anarcho-capitalist’ blog and is quoted as saying, ‘…assassination is a legitimate tool.” Particularly when he held a large stash of guns.

    To me, that sounds a lot like hate speech… and it doesn’t matter which party is in power, since he was technically threatening all 535 members of congress. the FBI would be accused of dereliction of duty if they did not investigate a person such as this.

    What? “Target only politicians and their staff and leave regular citizens alone” combined with “assassination is a legitimate tool” obviously is a call to kill politicians! And if a muslim had said that, he already would be in enhanced interrogation, and the FBI would talk about preventing a terror act. So, far, that jerk got away easy with his call for violence. Only reasonable to at least revoke the gun license of somebody who so obviously holds human lifes in such a low regard.

    “Freedom of Speech.” has limits, especially nowadays, under the Patriot Act. “Anarchist” is just another word for terrorist. And calling for violence against the Congress, of the US actually makes the guy a possible “unlawful combatant”. Especially since he also has th guns to conduct terrorist acts. So, under the law that is in place now, the government simply has to declare this jerk an “unlawful combatant”, and then they can do with him whatever they like. No matter if he’s a USA citizen, that’s no safeguard anymore! If you don’t believ that, read Glenn Freenwald regularly.

    So, no stupid dramatization. So far, that idiot got away easy. If he was a muslim, he would simply have vanished, without any opportunity to protest. That’s the reality in the US now. I don’t like that, either, but ignoring it would be stupid.

    I was just thinking. If the gun nuts wants guns so bad why don’t they just buy toy guns?

    The NRA could switch to urging their members to own only toy guns.

    Look at the advantage of owning toys guns. Owning a toy gun will back up the claim that guns don’t kill.

    Making it legal to carry a toy gun will get less opposition and even a concealed toy gun won’t cause to much opposition. Laws like that will be easy to pass.

    Toy guns at the gun shows will be even better because there are water guns, there’s guns that shoot nerf material, there guns that you put caps in you know those paper rolls that go pop, cork guns, all kinds of guns,

    When a real crazy mental case buys a toy gun and then goes into a crowded place firing off his toy gun the NRA members will feel real proud and get less public flap over it.

    The Constitution never said what kind of guns, we can clarify it by say the right to own and bear toy guns. The NRA will be real happy with that.

    The GOP should study my proposal. It should make the GOP real happy. And since they vote party line, goosestep you know. With all that goosestepping I think there is a good chance to make the country safer and the gun nuts happy all at the same time.

    The NRA new slogan:

    Own only toy guns.

    Freedom of speech has NEVER included incitement to violence, or any speech which may reasonably be seen as posing a danger to the lives of citizens (e.g. shouting “fire” in a crowded theater). Never. His speech is plain, and is rightly proscribed.

    Further, it has ALWAYS and ESPECIALLY been that way in America when people say things like “if we can’t beat politicians we don’t like at the polls, in a fair election, it’s OK to resort to violence.”

    How that fat sweaty obnoxious drug-addict hate-monger on the radio got away with his now-famous statement “I’m not saying we should kill ALL the liberals…” is beyond me. He should have been locked up before he finished his shift.

    And by the way, a “non-compassionate liberal” is called a “conservative.”

    okay we don’t want nutz to be packing guns but

    if you own a store, usually you have a gun under the counter especially in high rip off areas;
    otherwise you can be robbed, beaten and killed…

    and if we ban guns of the citizens only the outlaws will be armed and the militia. That makes citizens victims. During the Arizona shooting at least 2 or more of the bystanders (one of which jumped the shooter) were armed at the time. They did not shoot, but took action. The guy who jumped the shooter said he came to the scene late; and if forced to use his gun, he would not have hesitated to take out the shooter but was able to stop him
    by jumping him first. A woman on the ground grabbed the clip from the shooter so he had to stop. I don’t have guns, but I can see where they are necessary. Gun laws are getting more stringent and trying to weed out those nutjobs who need guns to swagger around. Owning a gun should be for protection, for shooting competitions or for hunting.

    Even worse than ownership of guns is the use of bread.

    1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

    2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.

    3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

    4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.

    5. Bread is made from a substance called “dough.” It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!

    6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, and osteoporosis.

    7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.

    8. Bread is often a “gateway” food item, leading the user to “harder” items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.

    9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

    10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

    11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

    12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

    In light of these frightening statistics, we propose the following bread restrictions:

    1. No sale of bread to minors.

    2. A nationwide “Just Say No To Toast” campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.

    3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.

    4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.

    5. The establishment of “Bread-free” zones around schools.

    The first amendment is not absolute and it is a common fallacy to believe that it is. Defamation, causing panic, fighting words and incitement to crime are all examples of speech that is not protected.

    Speech that has a reasonable likelihood to promote violence against person or property is never protected. As it has been established by the Arizona tragedy that regardless of the original motivation, there are individuals who would take what this blogger says to heart and commit these acts. Threats against the life and well being of public officials, even in the abstract, are not protected.

    “It is absolutely, absolutely unacceptable to shoot indiscriminately. Target only politicians and their staff and leave regular citizens alone.”
    Sounds like a threat and/or incitement to me.

    Greetings,

    Yes, I realize that what you say is true. I also realize that in the current national “debate” that one side is allowed to use “panic, fighting words and incitement to crime” and another side is punished if it does likewise.

    Look, the monsters that now wage war in Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan are not motivated by sign carrying protesters. The monsters that shipped our factories away and gambled our grandchildren’s future away in a giant game of cards are not motivated by angry blogs. That said, there may come a legitimate time when the people need to discuss if an armed revolt is necessary to get these demons to leave us in peace and return what they stole. Now, that day may never come but we can’t make the language of revolt taboo. That only serves the interests of the ruling elite.

    The people in government can not be the only ones allowed to say that “all options are on the table”.

    He’ll buy more guns, but this time he’ll likely keep them buried as he should’ve kept everything he had buried off his property except one in his house, that way he wouldn’t have that great of a loss.Law EnFarcement violated his 2nd amendment right. He might be prevented from buying guns now through a business or gun dealer, but there’s nothing to stop him from buying guns from a private sale out of a newspaper. We are all doomed as this has become precedent. There’s been many cases of people having had their guns confiscated and deemed having had an “arsenal”.

    ATF considers an arsenal anything over 4 guns! I don’t condone what Jared Loughner done in Arizona. Look at the police state growing up around you in the U.S. , They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.Why is it that most people believe the only people that should have guns are law enFarcement or military. The 2nd amendment wasn’t put into the constitution for hunting, nor was it even put in for someone breaking into your house, it was put in there for an oppressive tyrannical Govt.

    Look at all the countries of the past who became tyrannical and implemented gun round ups, Mao over China, Hitler over Germany, Stalin over Russia. I’d rather live in a society where the chances of a Jared Loughner type might go on a rampage and still have the right for my guns, than live in a society where only Govt. and State officials had them.

    Look at history, everytime a dictatorship started to build up, the first thing was disarming the populace. For those that own more than a few guns, be smart and BURY them, and bury them off your property. Bury the damn ammo too.

    You still haven’t shown how what he said constitutes a threat. You can’t even arrest him for what he said, and if the police did and brought him into court they would be laughed out there. You’re attempting to merge what happened in Arizona with a comment. They’re not the same, but then that doesn’t seem to matter to you.
    Look up the words “Threat” and “Opinion”. You’ll see that have different meanings.
