The left-wing war on the private ownership of firearms has turned a page and intensified. We’re used to the usual proposals. You know what they are. Limit this size of magazines. Make guns that look military like AR-15’s illegal. Increase restrictions on those who wish to own guns. Require registration of every firearm owned. Limit the number of firearms a person can own. Make concealed-carry illegal.
Now things have moved to a new level. Jurisdictions are proposing the outright confiscation of certain firearms. Resistance will be a crime punishable by law. Another proposal is to confiscate all firearms from those with a record of mental illness. While no one wants the criminally insane to have guns, this is an easy way for the left to massively expand those who would be barred from owning guns. The definition of mental illnesses is subjective and subject to debate. Suffered a battle with depression or take a particular medication at one time? No guns for you.
Page two brings this matter and these onerous proposals into much sharper focus by examining specific proposals on the table right now.
You know, if I were on a jury for someone who shot a cop under such circumstances I’d have to vote “NOT GUILTY!”
This cannot happen these violations of citizens constitutional rights cannot go unanswered. If we let this go unanswered what constitutional rights are next to fall if this comes to pass the United States of America will cease to exist as we know it
AOC should never left her beer bar job. She stinks at what the NWO is grooming her to do and be. Jail would be much appropriate than the beer job, but either way, she needs to leave the USA to someone bigger and taller in the political arena.
Sweeping verbiage, ” suspected mental illness”. Gives broad powers to LE
Those that are doing this , are infringing on Our 2nd amendment rights. Those doing this need to be fired and locked up . They work for Us and have no right’s to do this without The support of We the people .
How does the Seattle process allow for a confiscated gun to be recovered. What would the process be?
Thet Don”t CARE, CITIZENS have NO RIGHT of DELF PROTECTION! ONLY CRIMINALS DO!
This is the very reason why Gun Sanctuary Counties are VITAL. Six counties, so far, in Tennessee love their citizens enough and respect the Bill of Rights enough, to make their counties safe from unConstitutional laws. Such confiscation endangers the lives of the police officers; we do not give up our Rights without a fight. Make your County a Gun Sanctuary. Write me at [email protected] for details. (We are NOT a fundraiser, just FYI)
Though I am not, and probably never will be, a gun owner, I am a supporter of the right to keep and bear arms. Nonetheless, aside from concerns about due process, these types of laws seem, at least on the surface, to be quite reasonable. A man who stares at me with at his gun at his side would scare the c**p out of me. I do not think that a person who is mentally ill should be allowed to own guns. If the man owns guns and I have reason to think he’s mentally unstable, it seems reasonable to get the police involved and to have his guns taken away, until it can be determined that he is not a threat. I myself do not own guns because I suffer from depression and anxiety disorders and though I don’t consider myself a threat to myself or others, I think it would be extremely irresponsible to own guns should my conditions ever worsen. As for this man, I ask is it better to take his guns away at the risk of violating his rights, or is it better to let him keep them, and to take them away only if (or after) he uses them?
Guess no one in WA has the balls to say hell no??? This is a violation of civil rights
