Holy crap, we are turning into the UK. I can't believe someone got arrested for posting a picture.
 
Nope. Poor trigger discipline or otherwise, a photo which with, in context of post, could be (loosely) interpreted as, "If you come after me, I will defend myself" isn't a threat. Merely a warning. Hell, I've said as much once or twice on the local rendition of AOL's Patch, back in early 2013 when the Sandy Hook hysteria was peaking. And the photo without that context is merely a photo.

My usual bad noises re: Facebook are hereby incorporated by reference.
 
Anyone who says that clearly hates the idea of freedom of speech. Even if that is the extent of things, it's enough to say he hates freedom. Statist? Dolt? Maybe both.
