Based on the facts of this case, I dissent.

Beware that at least in NYS if you try to peacefully assume room temperature, they will snatch your guns away, even if there is zero evidence that they would be used for suicidal purposes.

I might have told the judge that if you take my guns away, I promise you I will commit suicide.

You can have your guns taken away if you commit an act of violence against another person, so I don't see why taking them away when you commit an act of violence against yourself would be any different.


The "act of violence" was hypothermia.
