He was reported for owning 30 round capacity magazines and the cops blocked the streets this morning in an attempt to arrest him under New York’s newly minted red flag law. Things are getting tense as the police are now threatening to cut off internet and cell service, removing his ability to communicate with the outside world.

Wake up, America.

UPDATE

Police release statement saying veteran taken into custody peacefully and charged with crimes unrelated to the standoff.

They’re gonna try to force this guy to jack it from imagination. I gotta believe the Supreme Court will frown on this.

The police will probably murder him.
These situations never end well.

That’s exactly what they’re going to do. They don’t like being made to look foolish and he’s been doing that for seven hours now. He has over 51,000 followers on Instagram and he’s been posting since this event began.

His followers have grown to 78k since I posted this.

You want an Instagram link? Because his page and a few others are the only ones reporting on this. It is radio silence from local NY news.

It’s not a good situation at all. The redcoats came for his guns under the guise of a red flag, and he is rightfully refusing to give away his rights.

I read the title like the gun owner was from Afghanistan.

Maybe I'm just an idiot, but it took me quite a few post to figure out what was really going on.
