Red Flag law one example

[Robert]

To me this is a great example of why you never give politicians more power than they already have.

Its also an example of what are you going to do if they come for your guns.

Instead of addressing the problem, "ANTIFA" lets take guns away from citizens.  


RED FLAG INSANITY: Pro-Trump Former Marine Has Guns Confiscated to Protect ANTIFA Terrorists

A Trump supporter in Oregon was stripped of his firearms under the state’s red flag laws for declaring that his rights wouldn’t be trampled upon by ANTIFA terrorists who have rampaged throughout Portland during the summer.

“If ANTIFA gets to the point where they start killing us, I’m going to kill them next,” said Shane Kohfield, a 32-year-old former Marine. “I’d slaughter them and I have a detailed plan on how I would wipe out ANTIFA.”

This is why you must resist firearm registration. This is the government taking a persons constitutional rights. His second amendment rights were taken along with his First amendment rights. Sounds eerily familiar to 1930s Germany.

            Should you have a plan to eliminate your enemies I would suggest Not telling others about said plan. On the other hand gubmint IS getting entirely too large and messin bout in areas of lives they should NOT be messin in. And a recent administration labeled M/C ridin Veterans as terrorists. Sumbitches-Some politicians-appear to me anywho to be lookin fer ANY excuse to disarm the Law abiding Citizen. And should Law abiding Citizens ever be unarmed-well ask the folks in Australia how dat be workin out. RIDE SAFE.

I'm no fan of red flag laws (that take with no right to first be heard - due process).

But if you're going to stand up in public and say you have a plan to kill people (even people that many think need killing), don't be surprised if you attract more attention than you wanted.

The first amendment is not unlimited in scope.

Lets not forget how many past school shooters did and said a lot of things that made people justifiably wonder why nothing was done before they did their deeds.  Most of us law abiding gun owners are tired of blaming guns (and not individuals), but we should support the mental health angle on murderers, mass or otherwise.  Though I do not support no due process red flag rules.

Now, if this gentleman goes through the red flag process, and is found to be of sound mind and no danger to himself or others, he better get his firearms back in short order (and in good condition).

And choose your words wisely; this fellow's words were not chosen wisely.  He could have said what he wanted 10 other ways and not gotten the red flag treatment.
