[@jamesengeman8836]

Higgins isn't popular because he's a simpleton. Higgins says "Guns aren't violent", people are violent." You see Higgins mind can't get beyond what he believes is his right, Higgins is also one of these guys who believes this right to own weapons of war, or any gun is a right given to him by some god. I'm guessing it's the same god that gives Trump the right to grab women he doesn't know by the pussy and cheat on all 3 of his wifes. I can see why goobers like Higgins like that god. A politician that isn't able to differentiate between a single shot 22cal rifle and an AR-15 is a dangerous idiot that needs to get out of the way. Higgins is right. An AR-15 locked in a gun case isn't violent. It's hard for me to say. But this goober, Higgins, can't figure out that these people he says are violent pick up an AR-15 go to an elementary school and all of a sudden this AR-15, out of it's locked case, becomes the most violent weapon available. This conman, Higgins, apparently doesn't know that a single shot from a 22 is not always lethal, not even to a 9yr old. But, multiple shots from an AR-15 tears these 9yr olds bodies apart where some parents needed DNA to identify their child. The murderers are Republicans. Democrats would ban assault weapons in a NY minute. Republicans want to make sure assault weapons are available to everyone. So guys like Higgins aren't willing to give up their hobby of shooting as many beer cans off a fence in 10 seconds as they can even if it saves lives. And I understand Higgins was in the military. I guess he hasn't been able to ease up on his training to kill.

this is not hyperbole - it has already happened Gary Willis, a resident of Ferndale, Maryland, was awakened on a Monday morning in November 2018 at 5:17 a.m. when two officers from Anne Arundel County knocked on his door. A law-abiding gun owner, Willis answered the door “with a gun in his hand,” They were there to serve him with an “extreme risk protective order” and remove his legally owned firearms. Willis put his firearm down to read the ERPO but then, apparently recognizing that it wasn’t a legal search warrant issued by a judge in accordance with protections guaranteed to him by the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but instead was issued by a local judge under Maryland’s newly minted “red flag” law, he retrieved his firearm. police attempted to stop mr willis. In the melee that followed, one of the firearms carried either by one of the officers or by Willis went off. One of the officers then pulled his own sidearm and shot Willis dead. in his own home. the reason for the ERPO? a family member had a dissagreement over 2a at thanksgiving dinner and decided to place the call. not because mr willis was a danger. no. the call was placed bc the family members feelings were hurt and now a 61 year old man is dead

If you do find any story’s about Mr Willis - there will be no mention of the family member making the malicious call. So besides the glaring absence of due process, the other major problem with red flag laws is that theres no legal consequences for making a false or malicious call to police. You can make false claims and ruin someone’s good name and put them in court for years and there’s absolutely nothing that will be done.
