My ex - "I don't like guns, so I'm not going to let you have one."

My ex and I (26F and 29M) were married for just over a year. We had been best friends for about 15 years. She was my best man at my wedding. She was one of my closest confidants. Being that we were so close, I always figured she'd be okay with my love of firearms. After all, she was the one that *made me* buy my first firearm when I was 19 and away at college.<br><br>\n<br><br>After we got married, things got weird. We moved into a house. She started making demands that I get rid of my firearms. I refused. She said, "I don't like guns, so I'm not going to let you have one." I told her, "I don't like your friends, so I'm not going to let you have friends." That didn't go over so well. She called the cops on me and tried to get a restraining order. The cops told her she was being a bitch. They told her, "You're not going to let him have a gun? What, are you going to take away his penis?" - They were not very nice to her. But they did threaten to arrest me if I moved the firearms out of the house.<br><br>\n<br><br>After that, she became very cold to me. She stopped having sex with me. She would make snide remarks at me - "You'd rather have a gun than your own wife?"<br><br>\n<br><br>Finally, one day I got a knock at the door. It was two friendly neighborhood cops. They asked me if I had any firearms. I said, "Yes." They asked me if I had any ammunition. I said, "Yes." They told me to get my stuff together, because they were arresting me. At first I was confused. I didn't know what was going on. Finally, it clicked - they were going to take my firearms. I was not happy. I asked them, "Am I being arrested?" They said, "No, but we're going to take your firearms." They searched my house. They took all my firearms and my ammunition.<br><br>\n<br><br>I was not happy. I called my lawyer on the way to the police station. He told me, "They can't take your stuff." I told him, "Too late." The cops were very friendly. But they did threaten to arrest me if I tried to get my firearms back. They told me, "If you try to get your firearms, we will arrest you. And then you will be in a lot of trouble."<br><br>\n<br><br>I went home and confronted my ex. She told me, "They're not coming back. They're gone for good, so you'd better get used to it." I told her, "That's it. I'm leaving you." She said, "Fine." I packed my things and left.<br><br>\n<br><br>The next day, I went to the police station. The police told me I couldn't have my firearms back. I asked them, "Why?" They told me, "Because your ex told us to." I asked them, "But what about the law?" They told me, "Fuck the law." They told me, "Your ex hates you. So we hate you."<br><br>\n<br><br>I went to court. I got a lawyer. I won. But the police kept my firearms.<br><br>\n<br><br>I called the police department. I asked them, "What happened to my firearms?" They said, "We don't know."<br><br>\n<br><br>My ex and I are still married. But we're getting a divorce. She won't let me have a gun. I won't let her have a gun either. It's been a big hassle.<br><br>\n<br><br>I miss my firearms.<br><br>\n<br><br>&#x200B;
