But "possessing matter" involving anything? He's talking about, like, atoms and molecules, right? Any "matter" involving a school might mean any student or parent with school-aged children. This attitude is pervasive, though, even if this speaker is, ehm, inarticulate: You're all criminals, we just haven't found something yet to pin on you, so get back in line. “Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it’s a felony in the state of Kentucky,”

So, the way I see it:

- Making a threat is a felony in the state of Kentucky
- Possessing matter involving a school is a felony in the state of Kentucky
- Possessing matter involving a function is a felony the state of Kentucky

I get the first one, even though it could be over-broad. But “possessing matter” involving anything? He’s talking about, like, atoms and molecules, right? Any “matter” involving a school might mean any student or parent with school-aged children.

This attitude is pervasive, though, even if this speaker is, ehm, inarticulate: You’re all criminals, we just haven’t found something yet to pin on you, so get back in line.

Bravo! Incidents that may or may not attract mainstream media attention could be provoked by peaceful actions such as, say, trying to donate copies of your book to every library in a given demographic area. An area where it meets with strong resistance but not complete suppression. That might be a project worth contributing to, actually. A bold stance, my friend. Bravo!
