CNN:

"In 1996, he was arrested in Topeka, Kansas, with explosives, a military rifle, ammunition and a gas mask in his car, according to records.

His ex-wife said that at that time he intended to blow up an abortion clinic.

A Shawnee County judge called Roeder a 'substantial threat to public safety' telling him that one must follow the law as established, not the law as one might wish it to be.

Roeder pleaded not guilty, spent 16 months in prison and eight on probation. But his lawyer argued on appeal that his car had been illegally searched, and Roeder's conviction was vacated."

Otherwise, one presumes, he wouldn't have been able to get hold of a weapon . . . even in Kansas!

Damn liberal, activist judges!
