Talk:Brian Aitken

Incomplete Article

This article fails to actually state that Brian Aitken did not violate the law. "judge Morely's failure to provide information to the jury regarding exceptions to New Jersey's relatively strict firearm possession laws was a source of controversy."

This quote is as close as this entire article gets to admitting that he was wrongly convicted, thus it skews the reader to believe there is some subjective interpretation to be made such as "intent" of a law, when very literally under the law Brian Aitken did not commit a crime, and the judge's failure to make this exception clear is not merely "a source of controversy" it is literally a failure of justice. Omitting this explicit fact from the article also makes it appear that the Governor's ultimate decision was subjective, and not explicitly the proper and legal course of action. It is not a matter of opinion, and should not be treated as such. This is the opposite of the goal of Wikipedia articles. Promontoriumispromontorium (talk) 08:34, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

The article actually stated that Aitken was in violation of State Law... which is not accurate. I have corrected this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.98.49.2 (talk) 03:19, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Please keep an eye on this. Wikipedia user Ckatz continues to incorrectly revert any statement that is factual favoring Mr. Aitken. He continues to push that Aitken "was arrested and imprisoned there for possession of handguns in violation of that state's gun laws." When it has never been proven that Aitken violated any law. Indeed two (2) cases exist asserting the contrary (Aitkens appeal and his Civil Rights Case). Given the huge due-process violations involved in Aitken's case it's impossible for an individual to assert Aitken was in violation of ANY law. Ckatz is not acting in the best interest or goals of Wikipedia when he continually glosses over these facts (see revision history). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.45.162.146 (talk) 13:10, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Name-calling doesn't help anyone, nor does your confrontational approach. This is not an Aitkens PR page, this is an encyclopaedia. Please edit accordingly, and refrain from nonsense accusations. --Ckatz^chat_spy 16:29, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

I just wanted to note that I have read the transcripts from trial and have read numerous articles about Brian Aitkens case and there's no evidence that Mr. Aitken violated New Jerseys gun laws (as this post states in its first paragraph). I would refer any Wikipedia editor to the transcripts or a legal scholar (since I am not one... but since this post is incorrect in stating Aitken transported his firearms in violation of NJ gun laws). I would also refer the editors to the NJ Exemptions, which the jurors requested three times, that support the fact that he was not in violation of any NJ law with regard to transporting firearms. I would hope Wikipedia would be more diligent in its factual representation of events. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.61.130.38 (talk) 07:54, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Legal resident?

We are told "Aitken moved to Colorado...and became a legal resident."

I'm Australian. Like America, Australia is a federation of states, but there is no such thing as legal residency of a state. What does it mean? HiLo48 (talk) 04:33, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

A:To be able to but a gun by federal law you have to be resident of the state that you buying the pistol To be consider a legal resident of the state you have to have a legal residence for more than 90 days This only applies to pistols.
Long guns you can buy them in almost all states regales of you home state
Also if you have tow homes and you live there halve the time you can buy the pistol in ether state
And for the people in the military they also can buy then in different states Home state, base state and if the base happened to be in tow states they can buy it in ether one of them

Shouldn't the judge be named? Judges are people who make decisions? This makes it sound like the judge is a robot or a machine, and not a human being? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.80.213.66 (talk) 02:58, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
