A California man arrested for threatening an antisemitic mass shooting attack is now fighting to get his gun back.
Ross Farca, 23, of Concord, California was arrested on June 10 and charged with illegally modifying a weapon and engaging in criminal threats.
According to The Jewish News of Northern California, he was released on June 14 after he posted a $125,000 bail, reduced from $225,000 by the judge, to the alarm of the local Jewish community.
An emergency order that barred Farca from obtaining firearms was issued after his arrest, but expires on July 1. On June 26, Farca appealed to the court not to renew the order for a further two weeks, as local police have requested.

They go on to say that they will strike with “an iron fist the necks of anyone” who sells out the Palestinian rights and anyone who participates in the Bahrain workshop. Those who attend the workshop, they say, have “opened the gates of Hell on themselves.”

Ben Rhodes said early Sunday that President Trump was lying when he said the Obama administration repeatedly attempted to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un only to be rebuffed.
“Trump is lying. I was there for all 8 years. Obama never sought a meeting with Kim Jong Un. Foreign policy isn’t reality television it’s reality,” Rhodes, who served as former President Obama’s deputy national security adviser, tweeted.
“Photo ops don’t get rid of nuclear weapons, carefully negotiated agreements do,” added Rhodes, who is now a political commentator. “Trump’s foreign policy is a failure – from NK to Iran to Venezuela.”
