Whether or not you legally own a gun, was never the issue.
On this group you threatened to get a uzi and shoot people.
You have said you have bipolar disorder, a serious mental illness:
that you self medicate for it: that you take cannabis.
Given the terrible US history of crazed gunmen killers, it's not
surprising some concerned person in the USA took notice of your
threats and dobbed you in to local police for investigation.
Maybe it was one of your own tenants. Whoever it was, they DID THE
RIGHT THING.

Whether or not you legally own guns is irrelevent. Anyone in US can get
hold of them, apparently.
> And after 24 hours there were NO CHARGES FILED! ROFL!
Your local police took it seriously (as they should). While you were
held they no doubt checked you out , questioned your housemate tenants,
past/ present employers, checked out your nursing license, your
disciplinary record there; your landlord license.
Do you think they're laughing? Or hurriedly reviewing your nirse and
landlord licenses, and where to live? Frantically googling your name
and usenet crap?
"No charges", but the point is you have been flagged up by the police
as a local crazy and self-declared anarchist who makes stupid gun
threats.
If you think that's a laughing matter, dream on. Others, including
people YOU depend on, are unlikely to share your sense of humour.
