Gun Confiscation Killing in Maryland

So you want to keep it the way it was.

People of good concious disagree with. They look at the mass shootings that occur on a regular basis, and think maybe we can protect our children and have reasonable safe guards for gun owners as well.

After the shooting, you often hear stories of how people knew that the person was dangerous, how law enforcement claimed their hands were tied, they couldn't do anything.

You don't see the shootings as a big enough problem to change the law.

Like I said, people of good concious disagree.

 

I agree it is unlikely law enforcement facilities will be equipped to properly care for collector grade firearms.

 

The people of good conscience? Liberals are always the problem, never the answer.

 

You see liberals as the problem.

I see mentally ill people committing mass murder on a regular basis as the problem.

You see any attempt to get the guns out of the hands of these mentally ill people before they shoot up a school, or a church, or a concert as the problem.

We disagree.

 

From my reading of this thread, I'd say that "any attempt" overstates Carpro's position, that he supports the clearly constitutional process of convincing a judge there's probable cause and then taking action. Your posts seem to imply that's a too slow/cumbersome process for protecting possibly at-risk people.
Some mental case mass killers have provided little/no advance sign that they're about to go nuts. Others provide such signs, like the school shooter in Florida. I wonder how different those signs were from hundreds of others that reach the police.

A question, for anyone on this thread: Do we know whether there was lapel cams or sound recording of the incident, or just the officers' accounts of what went down? Did they announce clearly who they were and why they were there, so the guy wouldn't think it was a home invasion? (Probably, IMO, but I don't know.)

 

Not really, as I believe you must have a mental disorder to be a liberal. Where do you see a mass shooter who wasn’t a liberal? You are not being honest, are you. Under these red flag laws who do you think is going to rat out their family or neighbor? The idiot in your face liberal. The school shooter in Florida was known to authorities but was protected under an Obama policy. Liberal sheriff let people die in the process, & then tried to turn the blame on gun control. I’m telling you, they are mental. Liberals are always the problem. Gun free zones. Moronic. Liberal feel good bs.

 

That police chief's words were telling - what did they prevent? Nothing AFAICT, but what happened was a guy was shot dead in his own home because of some unconstitutional order. It's bizarre to claim that the unconstitutional order was justified in the first place because of they way he acted when they tried to enforce the unconstitutional order. Circular reasoning, you could argue just as well that the cops shot the guy rather than tasing him because they were power-tripping. .

He didn't know anything about the order, that was issued in super-secret. They had no warrant, didn't need one. This is a dangerous mindset.

First off, this is NOT a classic left-right issue. There are many people that agree with you about these red flag laws that are all over the political spectrum - the right (trust LEO), the left (gunz are bad) and the center (Rick Scott, Marc Rubio, Trump himself). The center buy into your argument and the left's fake "reasonable gun law" propaganda.

The NRA and the ACLU have lined up against them, no due process - it is suspended and it's assumed the gun grabbers can read your mind and foresee some crime.

 

I don't see people exercising their 4th and 5th amendment rights committing mass murder on a regular basis.

 

The police were there legally. The law has not been ruled unconstitutional, that is your opinion.

Since the police are there legally, you obey the police. You don't grab a loaded handgun because you think your 2nd amendment rights are being violated. There is no way for that to end well.

As far as the cops using deadly force instead of tasing him, the situation became life threatening the moment he grabbed the loaded handgun. The police officer was justified.

There are aspects of the law that are problematic, and will likely be struck down.

I think a good change would be requiring the person who makes the complaint to pay the legal fees of the gun owner if a judge rules the complaint to be frivilous.

 

It is nonsense to claim liberals have a mental disorder or that all mass shooters are liberal. To make such claims shuts down all discussion and guarantees no progress on finding a solution.

The dominant characteristic among mass shooters is mental illness.

 

I understand your argument and disagree.

I am concerned about your repeated attacks upon the law enforcement officers in this case.

The appropriate response to this incident would have been to go to court and prove your case, not go for the loaded handgun.

To praise this man as showing "courage" in grabbing the gun is misguided at best. It encourages anarchy and hostility to law enforcement.

Your arguments against this law are overshadowed by your attacks on police lawfully executing their jobs and praising a man who acted irrationally and violently toward law enforcement officers.

Peace to you
