According to The New York Times, Andrew Anglin, whereabouts unknown, could be on the hook for a bit of cash.
The publisher of a neo-Nazi website should pay more than $14 million in damages for encouraging "an online anti-Semitic harassment and intimidation campaign" against a woman in 2016, a federal magistrate judge in Montana recommended on Monday.
In his opinion, the judge, Jeremiah Lynch, also recommended that the publisher, Andrew Anglin, be made to remove all blog posts from the website, The Daily Stormer, that encouraged readers to contact the woman, Tanya Gersh, and her family.
Within months of Mr. Anglin's call for a "troll storm" against them, Ms. Gersh and her family had received more than 700 vulgar and hateful messages, many referring to the Holocaust. They temporarily fled their home.
Mr. Anglin did not appear in court, and his location is unknown. He did not respond to an email on Monday requesting comment on the lawsuit. And it was not clear how much money if any could ever be collected from him.
Nice that Andrew has gone back to where he's from, allegedly Thailand.

Even when locked up they can still rather easily be stolen. First, they may not be locked up. Second, if they are stored with trigger locks the entire gun walks away pretty easily. The trigger lock prevents unauthorized use but not unauthorized possession. Third even if the guns are stored in a locked cabinet or safe you just steal the entire safe.
When perimeter/building security is breached it is only a mater of time until access controls are subverted. Always. Only a mater of time. How much time is what you get to define. Just like a computer.
Please don't do things that actively encourage them to do that. Might as well go poke a bear in the face with a stick.

Leave your mother out of this. Or, learn to spell.
