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.

Unfortunately more loves will be lost until this unconstitutional law is reviewed and hopefully vetoed. God bless ond good luck.
Smdh. So this man’s niece pretty much, got him killed. Sorry but that system is junk! So that really means, if you p**s off a legitimate family member, in any way, and they can go tattle tail to the authorities, they can have secret meeting with other officers and get your guns confiscated. Very unorthodox! If accused, they should bring this person in, and evaluate them, and if not posed a threat, the accused should be fined, and pay for the evaluation. Any person not gonna just give up guns just on a damn assumption wyf guys!
We’re not coming to take your guns…..trust us….
So it’s come down to this huh? A man in his own home, who has never hurt anyone, maybe even or could be a Veteran. Get gunned down in his own home like this?! All I can say is I’m glad I moved from the people’s republic of massachusettes to sunny freedom loving Florida! Within the first month here I participated in in The Sheriffs CCP Class and received my Concealed Carry License within the second month that I know can never be taken for any reason other than my own fault!
That’s not right! I’m glad I live in Texas.. your laws suck.. Really you took his Guns because of hear say. How is this man suppose to protect himself and his family now??? There’s a lot of crimes and Dangerous Gangs out there!! That’s B******t! I hope this man moves to Texas. We believe in the 2nd Ammendment!!
Indiana has always been a Bastion against gun control. What a sad tale for Hoosiers
In other words they murdered someone for defending the Constitution!! Cops should not be enforcing this but rather they should be shooting those who are taking away our rights. Maybe they should carry a copy of the Constitution on them for reference?
This a landmark case and it occurred hot on the heels of the passing of a treasonous and illegal ‘law’ by an idiot Maryland legislature. And all because of heresay from a distant, disgruntled ‘relative’. No cop in its right mind doesn’t know that such will lead to the deaths of officers should it continue. The criminals in the legislature will continue to sleep soundly – untouched.
Just this week, sheriffs in Maryland vowed to have NOTHING to do with the activity. GOOD ON THEM !!
Turn the page for more? Nope. That was the end of the story.
F**k your clickbait.
This is a terrible story. An honest citizen is dead at the hands of a criminal masquerading as a cop. No longer will I support the boys in blue. The Constitution of the United States has been violated by the state of Maryland. The federal Department of Justice must step in to stop this sort of thing from happening. The victim’s Constitutional rights have been violated in the most egregious way possible. He is dead!
