Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So It Begins...This Morning,..The First Gun Confiscation Killing Occurred in Maryland

I don't know how many people here, how many times have said on various matters to just roll with it and fight it out in court when the police arrest you for something that isn't illegal in the first place. I guess guns are different.

This is what comes when folks just let stuff happen for years and years and then it happens to them or they can finally envision it.

So who gets to report these red flags?

I'm thinking red flag calls against every police officer and every elected official in Maryland...

I recall that many on this site were indignant that the 'authorities' missed the 'red flags' and that prior action would have prevented the shooting. Many also believe that ex felons should regain their gun ownership rights.

The simple fact is that politicians, the law makers, are both incapable and unwilling to address the problem and that gun confiscation and regulation gives them power and is the default remedy.

The only realistic answer is for individuals to be self reliant. Acquire training, knowledge and weapons and refuse to be a victim. In today's political climate repression is to be expected and should be planned for. Having off the books guns and dispersing the locations of same may be a good plan for some.

Unfortunately self reliance is too difficult for many.

Well thats the big question isnt it. What are you willing to sacrifice? You have two options. Legal or Physical.

If the Law with lots of guns and personnel comes to your house with a signed warrant to get your guns and you are there with your family, kids etc. What do you do?

What do you do?

So if you think you'll get your guns back in any kind of the same condition you had them stolen in, after the court fight, dream on. I bought a batch of rifles that had been confiscated by the police. Most were NIB Savage 99's a few decades old. Two were engraved models worth thousands of $ each. The police threw them in the trunk of a squad car and they were all scratched to sheit, Wood and metal. It looks like they made every effort possible to teach the owner a lesson about messing with the police, even removing the ones in the boxes so they could be damaged along with the unboxed ones.

To me, the police are nothing more than criminals the way they disrespect a citizens property and rights. I can't imagine how I would have reacted at 5am either. Probably would have had a shootout in the living room.

Where's the GD sense of decency anymore? Are the police such disattached sociopaths that they have no awareness of what a citizens rights are, or how to behave as something less than animals?

And people wonder why the police are despised? Do you ever listen to them speak? With their language they somehow seem to have a disconnect with the empathy and compassion centers in their personality and are running in robot mode, "7 civilians were pronounced deceased at the scene"... WTF is that? Those cops need a serious bitch slapping.

Looks like few posters on this site even GAF. The debate on whether the .270 outshines the 30-06 is a lot more important.

I am surprised that a case on these laws has not gotten to SCOTUS yet; I did not know that there were as many as there are that have enacted these type laws going back to 1999.

Needs to get there................soon, very soon.

That's what I was waiting for.

6 pages and not a single comment on the actions of the LEO that "Followed Orders" to illegally confiscate a persons property without Due Process, until your's.

Law like these cannot succeed unless our LEO are ready, willing and able to Confiscate your firearms.

We hear and read over and over that LEO are on the Side of the Second Amendment and would never even thing about Confiscation without Due process, and here we are again. Following orders in spite of the Constitution.

Moral, never answer the door unless you know who is on the other side. If it is LEO, Do Not Answer, Ever. If they break down the door down, shoot the criminals.

Remember many of the NAZI's said that they were just following orders too.

A couple of counties over, 450 square miles but less than 8,000 people. They have a young sheriff and he said he hopes for gun registration. I've argued with him over it and it's amazing his 'thinking' on the matter. It shows how easy it is for this kind of crap to creep into areas.

He ran uncontested, but I'll be watching there closely in the future and making people aware.

Has he advertised that sentiment?

Probably because it happened in Maryland. If one chooses to live in one of the Commie states they need to expect to live under Commie law.

Pension , benefits - power trip along the way ..

Stonecutter,

If you apply for a Maryland medical marijuana application the Md State police will come and get your guns before the permit is issued. At first, I thought this was propaganda...but it's true.

Yep, I overheard Rick Scott say something like "This is it ... I've had enough ... I'm armed, and I'm going out in a bang." I should call the police and tell them about that so they can arrive at his residence at 5:00 AM and take his guns.

This is why one should never keep all one’s weapons in one’s house.

Good point.

Keep your bills of sale handy showing where you sold them all too
