A 61-year-old man was shot and killed by a police officer trying to enforce Maryland’s new ‘red flag’ gun confiscation law on Monday morning.
Maryland passed a law on October 1st providing for “extreme risk protective orders,” also known as a “red flag” law, which allows virtually anyone to file an ex parte petition with the court alleging that the gun owner poses an immediate danger to himself or others because he or she possesses a firearm.
If the court issues the order, police will show up at the person’s residence and seize their firearms without any notice or warning whatsoever.
All it takes is hearsay from a family member, neighbor, dating partner, etc. for the gun owner to have his or her Second Amendment rights stripped away by a secret court hearing.

POLICE, SOME FAMILY AND EVERYONE WHO PUSHED THIS RED FLAG LAW INTO EFFECT SHOULD ALL BE DRAGGED TO GITMO FOR THE DURATION. WHAT A DISGRACE ON OUR COUNTRY. (MARYLAND YOU ARE THE WORST).
The narcissists and Dems are going to take full advantage of this . The President needs to stop this !
Supreme Court?
This has to stop before a lot more people are killed and it will also include some law enforcement personnel. Such laws have no place in a free country.
THIS IS KILLING SOMEONE ON HEARSAY. THE FAR LEFT STATES CAN’T DO AWAY WITH THE 2ND. AMENDMENT. SO THEY WILL TAKE ANYONE’S WORD THAT THE PERSON IS A RISK TO HIMSELF OR OTHERS. THE SUPREME COURT OF THE LAND SHOULD STUDY THIS GOOFY LAW. ALL IT TAKES IS HEARSAY FROM A FAMILY MEMBER OR NEIGHBOR. THIS IS NO WAY TO RUN A STATE OF THE UNION. I BELIEVE THAT THE PERSON WHO KILLED THIS MAN SHOULD BE BROUGHT UP ON CHARGES OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER. THE POLICE COME UPON THEIR SUBJECT WITH NO WARNING OR NOTICE WHATSOEVER.
Maryland’s Governor needs to read the constitution.
The American people have a right to have guns; they have the right to use them in the event of a unconstitutional government takeover. The citizens in the US know this; why doesn’t the government?
This is terrible, ref flag rules are against our constitution. This man would still be alive if not provoked by orders to law enforcement on hearsay.
Hope she is happy to have him killed. Its all on her
