Adam Kokesh gun stunt: is no bail too harsh? Iraq war veteran and gun-rights activist Adam Kokesh has bain jailed on charges he violated the gun laws in Washington DC.<br /><br />His crime? Kokesh made a political video in the capitol's Freedom Plaza and posted the clip to YouTube. In the video, he can be seen carrying what appears to be a shotgun.<br /><br />A Park Police SWAT team raided Kokesh's home in Virginia and found drugs and weapons, including a shotgun similar to the one depicted in the video.<br /><br />An attorney for the activist argued there was no evidence that Kokesh didn't simply use a prop in the video. He also said the guns could have belonged to one of the roommates who share living quarters with Kokesh.<br /><br />But the Superior Court judge didn't see it that way. He ordered Kokesh held without bail until trial.<br /><br />Kokesh's protest activities have centered around libertarian causes. He once participated in dance flashmob at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial to protest a ruling that banned dancing at the monument.<br /><br />When asked if he had a permit to organized the protest, Kokesh produced a copy of the Constitution, which allows "people peaceably to assemble" in the First Amendment<br /><br />It is Second Amendment activism that has landed Kokesh in a D.C. jail, where he will be held until trial. The judge in the case called Kokesh a "very dangerous man".<br /><br />What do you think? Is Kokesh too dangerous to be granted bail?
