United States News Title: “Red Flag” Raids The other day, a Maryland man in his 60s was shot to death by armed government workers in his own home. The man had not been charged with any crime. He was not even suspected of having maybe committed one. So why did the Hut! Hut! Hut! squad show up at this mans home? A Red Flag order had been issued from a judge, ordering him to hand over his lawfully owned firearms. And all that is necessary to trigger the write which leads to the Hut! Hut! Hutting! is for someone to claim that a person could be a threat to himself or others; that they are concerned. Mark that. It is not necessary that the targeted individual be charged or convicted of any violation of law. The Red Flag law effectively convicts and sentences people whove obeyed the law. The targeted individual is denied due process. A writ is issued and the Hut! Hut! Hutting! routine commences. For some reason the man took umbrage at having his property taken at gunpoint by AGWs based on a writ issued by a judge based on no-one-knows-exactly-what. A scuffle ensued and the man ended up dead. A man who was minding his own business, in his own home. A man not wanted for anything at all. He was murdered by AGWs because of a feeling expressed by . . . someone . . .that he might be a threat. Not an actual threat. Not a fact. Someones feeeeeeeeeeeeelings. It is precisely the same tactic routinely used to justify the metastasizing police state since 9/11 and this represents a logical escalation. Precedents matter. AGWs assert that they feeeeel threatened and it is taken as equivalent to actually having been threatened. It also represents the means by which civilian disarmament will proceed and regardless of laws on the books that (supposedly) protect their right to keep firearms in their own home. Red-Flagging is an end-running of those laws. It is fiat gun control exercised by a bureaucratic apparat frustrated by its inability to get laws changed. Now, the law can be ignored. A disgruntled ex-wife can call down the rain of Hut! Hut! Hutting! Or a health care professional now an adjunct of the government, courtesy of Obamacare. Dont agree with the doctors advice? Decline to accept the treatment he advises? You are recalcitrant, defiant and here it comes a danger to yourself and others. In time, it will be a neighbor who doesnt like you or like guns. All it will take is for them to say something. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest

A criminal act by an oppressive, out of control government!
Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
