ThinkPolice State: 4 Ways ThinkProgress Hates America.

Do you believe in the Second Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, innocent until proven guilty? Then ThinkProgress’ Four Ways Some States Can’t Keep Guns From Those With A History Of Violence is gonna make you made:

Police must return the guns they seize from those who are deemed dangerous, violent, or delusional. In many states, police have the power to seize guns during an initial police incident for “safekeeping.” But when those cases don’t end with conviction for a prohibited crime, laws in many states do not provide an avenue for police to keep those guns upon a finding of future dangerousness.

Deemed dangerous by whom? By a cop? By a judge? Sure, it’s sad that “Several months later, Anderson killed his mother and a police officer, and wounded four other officers.” But you know what? I rather live in a country where a man who wasn’t committed isn’t treated like a criminal. Besides, Anderson could have bought an illegal gun elsewhere, or use a knife, or a bad, there’s more than one way to commit murder, you know.

Even after an individual is considered dangerous, police cannot search a home for additional guns. In Arapahoe, Colorado, if officers “encountered a man on the street with a gun acting irrationally or suicidal,” they could temporarily seize that gun. But in addition to having to return that gun, they could not go to his home to look for other guns, Arapahoe’s sheriff explains. Connecticut is one of the few states that permits police to seek a warrant to seize guns from those who pose “a risk of imminent self injury to self or others.”

Why should they? Unless a court have found you guilty, you should not lose your rights. Besides, why do liberals care about suicide with a gun? They support abortion and Euthanasia after all.

Police who seize guns don’t report the incidents to the federal background check database. In Indiana, police can in some instances hold onto the guns they seize from individuals during violent incidents. But Indiana’s state seizure law doesn’t require police to report those seizures to the federal background check database. That means even in a state that allows more permanent gun confiscation, an individual can just go out and buy a new gun without obstacle.

Aren’t liberals a hoot? They want States Rights for gay marriage and marijuana, but for gun rights they want the BATF with their foot down our throats.

Those who are temporarily committed cannot have their guns seized. Individuals who are subject to long-term involuntary commitment lose their gun rights under federal law and at least 21 state laws. But some federal courts have ruled that a temporarily involuntary psychiatric evaluation should not be a basis for losing gun rights.

Sorry confiscators, we’re not going to make it easy for you to steal our guns. Imagine a man with a gun collection of 100, even 200 guns, losing all his weapons over some nonsense? And for what? For a bunch of liberals to feel safe? What a joke.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Military officer calls for gun confiscation.

There are times I will not respect a member of the military, this is one of those times:

From: http://maddmedic.wordpress.com/2013/12/04/military-officer-calls-for-nationwide-gun-grab/

Military officer calls for nationwide gun-grab – National gun rights

He wants to limit private gun ownership to “Smoothbore or Rifled muzzle-loading blackpowder muskets … Double-barrel breech-loading shotguns [and] Bolt-action rifles with a magazine capacity no greater than five rounds.”

“We will pry your gun from your cold, dead, fingers,” Bateman threatens. So much for the illusion of civilian control of the military, although it does drive home the fear the Founders had of a standing army.

“That is because I am willing to wait until you die, hopefully of natural causes,” he explains.

“Hopefully,” but not necessarily, Colonel? Will you also wait for my heirs?

“When you die your weapons must be turned into the local police department, which will then destroy them,” he dictates. “Weapons of historical significance will be de-milled, but may be preserved.”

While he doesn’t flesh out how all this will be enforced, he does offer some chilling clues.

“My entire adult life has been dedicated to the deliberate management of violence,” he explains. “There are no two ways around that fact. My job, at the end of the day, is about killing. I orchestrate violence.

“I am really good at my job,” he self-assessed.

 

You are Human Garbage, Mr. Bateman. You are a TRAITOR to the oath you took when you joined the military. A real soldier fights for the constitution, not against it. And let me tell you something, I don’t care how good at violence you are, there’s 100 million of us and one of you.

 

Dems want Gun Confiscation.

Nobody’s coming after our guns? Think again. As Breitbart reported:

At an October 30th press briefing, Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Reps. Gwen Moore (D-WI) and Elizabeth Etsy (D-CT) called for more gun control laws, including those that would take guns from certain Americans.

The briefing was hosted by NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” (MAIG), and the calls for new laws were backed by appeals to the same poll numbers Democrats used when they failed to pass gun control on April 17.

According to RedAlertPolitics.com, Sen. Murphy suggested the American public wants more gun control but Congress will not comply. Said Murphy: “There is a huge disconnect between what the American public wants and what Congress is willing to give them.”

Contrary to Murphy’s intimation, Gallup shows support for gun control has not only declined since January 2013, but with few exceptions has been in a decline since 2000.

Rep. Moore said guns should be “taken away” from certain Americans–including those who have restraining orders placed upon them. Although restraining orders are not always justly issued and certainly had nothing to do with the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting that united gun control proponents earlier this year, Sen. Blumenthal is proposing legislation to take guns away from owners when a restraining order is issued. 

California led the way with this type of legislation, using all the data they have compiled via expanded background checks to track down and confiscate guns from owners with a restraining order.

We’re watching you, Democrats.

Fascist Mass. Police Chief Confiscates Guns.

“Matthew P. Plouffe did everything right, he “followed the state’s restrictive gun laws which require a Firearms Identification Card simply to own a firearm and bought his two pump action shotguns and black powder rifle legally. He stored his firearms with cable locks to prevent unauthorized use and made to transport his guns in a legal manner.

….

However, after the incident, a police sergeant and the police chief learned of an incident in which Plouffe had been shooting with minors (with their parents permission). This caused the pair to question Plouffe’s “maturity” and that’s when they decided to play judge and jury.”

No due process, no nothing, just one police chief who sees himself as fuhrer and takes away previously approved guns for perfectly normal behavior. Shooting with minors is an important part of growing up, it’s how we transmit values from one generation to another. I hope the NRA sues, hope Plouffe gets his guns back or at least compensation from the property stolen.

 

Gun Confiscation in Chicago.

Were you convicted of drunk driving? Tax evasion? Watch out, Chicago cops are coming after your legally-owned guns:

“On a recent Wednesday here in the rundown suburbs south of Chicago, five police officers with bulletproof vests and Glock handguns knocked on doors and tried to talk their way into homes of felons and mentally ill residents who, according to records, held gun licenses. In its first six months, the unit has confiscated nearly 200 guns, but it has almost 5,000 more names to check.
…

Critics say such programs sometimes also confiscate the guns of people convicted of crimes unrelated to firearms, such as drunken driving or tax evasion. George Mason University law professor Joyce Lee Malcolm, a Second Amendment scholar and gun-rights advocate, said laws on who can’t possess firearms are too broad. “People that have committed a nonviolent crime are not a danger to the community,” she said, “so it seems wrong to seize guns from them.”

And keep this in mind, a lot of psychologist are liberal, the American Psychological Association is anti-gun, so perhaps in the future a lot of gun-owning patriots will be labelled insane just because they believe in the Second Amendment.

Of course, there are a few pro-gun psychologists out there, so if you need help with any issue, ask the shrink on the first session how he feels about guns.

“if you’re dealing with an anti-gun person with whom you interact regularly and have a generally good relationship – a coworker, neighbor, church member, etc. – you might indirectly refer to concealed carry. You should never say anything like “I’m carrying a gun right now and you can’t even tell,” especially because in some states that would be considered illegal, “threatening” behavior. But you might consider saying something like, “I sometimes carry a firearm, and you’ve never seemed to be uncomfortable around me.” Whether to disclose this information is an individual decision, and you should consider carefully other consequences before using this approach.”
