Ok, I’ll propose a compromise.

I’m ok with this...

quote:

those people deemed dangerous by a close family member/friend with extraordinary evidence to give to a judge.


If the family member/friend has to pay UP FRONT for TOP DOLLAR representation for the accused to do this...

contest the claims.

Ditto for West Texas in the 90s.

If the drug dog came in, our principal would call all the hunters in and send them home to get rid of their guns since we’d go dove hunting after practice.

Should be interesting since liberals commit 90% of all gun crimes.

What could go wrong.

Now about those gun permit holders' names and addresses that "leaked" in 2012 in NY...

If that happened in Colorado now...

The worst part about this for me is that there are actual officers around here that would still enforce this because they can’t afford suspension days or getting fired because of the retirement, insurance, and pay check.

The comments from law enforcement would be “don’t blame me, blame the politicians for enacting these laws.” “I’m just acting in good faith” “I’m just doing my job”

Then if violence occurs because people would rather go down fighting than lose their freedoms, there will be this thin blue line outpour on social media like they don’t understand why anyone would be violent against that type of enforcement

Im not a Trump fan. Never was, and I don’t consider him a conservative or a liberal,and certainly no libertarian. He’s just the only thing that stands between us an total lunacy taking over. That’s all he ever was to me quite honestly.

Same. I more of a Rand Paul type. But given the choice of Trump or Hillary give me Trump.

Yeah. I can't stand Donald Trump and frick the NRA too. I voted third party but you better believe I had a smile on my face knowing Hillary was defeated.

Give me Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, and Justin Amash. Give me the Gun Owners of America.

Are they really seizing property based on a petition using only a civil standard (i am guessing petition also unknown to owner or wouldn’t a dangerous person just act preemptively) & then with the post seizure hearing not only putting burden of proof on owner but also increasing standard above what was required for seizure in first place?



quote:

someone poses a danger under the "preponderance of the evidence," a civil standard which means that the defendant is more likely than not to be a threat.
...subsequent court hearing could extend a gun seizure up to 364 days, and gun owners can only retain their guns if they meet a burden of demonstrating by "clear and convincing evidence" -- a much higher standard -- that they are not in fact a threat. Gun owners, van Beek said, are "guilty until proven innocent" under this framework.

Absolutely I do and I went through it for years myself. At no point did I want to hurt other people and if I wanted to hurt myself not having a gun wasn't going to stop me. You actually are the one stigmatizing the depressed right now.

well i have determined all cops and law enforcement pose a danger because they have guns and are trained to use them so they need to immediately start to confiscate all weapons from the cops

that is the way the law is written so let it be done

I remember when Colorado was a very conservative red state. California transplants changed that it 20 years. Hope Texas fares better.


Yep. It used to be lots of cool California/Western Regan/Goldwater transplants, true mountainmen and ranchers.

I just pray Montana and Idaho don't fall.

Austin deserves it. F em.

The right to bear harms is a fundamental right for all American citizens. But just like many other rights, this right can and should be taken away in certain situations.

Dangerous people should not have guns. Period. Law-abiding citizens should have guns.

There are some people that don’t need to drive cars, you know, the activity that kills roughly 35k people per year and injures another 3million every year but I don’t see any legislation putting people on “do not buy” lists or cops showing up to take their cars away.


That is not a great comparison. Considering many individuals do lose their privilege in having a license for certain amounts of time. Also, when people are arrested, their cars may get impounded as well.
