Red Flag Laws aka Tyranny

There some talk of making it easier to use red flag laws against people. It's a blank check for government tyranny on par with what the British Crown was using against the American colonists three centuries ago. Here is a comment on YouTube video. The link goes to the video, scroll down to see the comment. I assume the video and or comment will eventually be taken down, not because there's anything wrong with it, but because the growign authoritarian censorship will eventually consume everything. I assume nothing that is on the blockchain or hardcoped is at risk of being wiped out at some point.

I was red flagged in Maryland, a judge ordered my guns returned within 48 hours. It was an awful experience, cost me 10k in attorney fees, the cops set cps on my wife and I, and i didn't get my guns back for months even though the judge ordered them returned. If you want more information I'd be happy to share with proof. EDIT: I'm going to provide additional details below since people seem interested.

They didn't kick-in my door, they actually called me out front of my apartment complex and had a team our there waiting who cuffed me. For those wondering why I went down in the first place.... They don't exactly tell you that you're going to be red-flagged, I didn't even know it was firearms related and thought they just wanted to talk. Once I found out why they were they I told them they would need a warrant. The officer on scene told me they could do that but then SWAT would kick in my front door, he then suggestively asked if I had a dog, so I told him I had a German Shepherd. He said if I let them in and cooperated he'd make sure that she wasn't harmed, basically I caved-in to save my dog.

There are a lot more details but here are the key facts:

1) I spent around 10k on attorneys fees, 1 to get me out of the hospital's psych ward, a second to go with me to court, and a third to help me navigate CPS

2) I'm in a conservative county in Maryland, and the judge I got was FURIOUS with the officer. He said they were to release my gun immediately (I only had one in my apartment, the rest were in storage) and thought the law was being abused. I went to the station with my attorney and was told I couldn't have my gun until they ran an ATF trace, which could take over a month. (even though handguns are registered and tracked in Maryland already ).

3) The police showed up with CPS who had to do an in-home interview with my wife and kids. Yes, apparently red-flag laws can result in having your children taken away. Luckily that went smoothly but it was scary!

4) oh and I also got over a thousand dollars worth of medical bills, luckily insurance covered it and the county waved the ambulance fee after I complained,

there are a lot more details but the biggest take-away is that it would have been better if I had been arrested. You have no rights in a hospital and since I was refusing all treatment including a covid test or wearing a mask, they denied all food an water. If my parents hadn't hired an attorney, I would have been forcibly committed, and lost my gun rights permanently. I'm not rich but I was able to shell -out money for attorneys, people who can't do that would just be SOL. One final note, my parents had to hire the attorney because I wasn't allowed to, I was in a hospital not jail... again you don't really have rights as a "patient"

The key is to understand the occupied government in Washington, DC has already declared Trump voters aka white supremacy the greatest threat and a terrorist threat. Add in all the war, pharma, etc. dissenters on the left and more than half the country is, in the opinion of the ruling class, in violation of red flag laws.

Irrational hatred of guns is driven by negative social mood

Magical thinking dominates during periods of negative social mood, which is why people favor policies that do not work. The evidence overwhelmingly shows that guns are not responsible for crime or death, only the proximate cause. In other words, more people are shot in America because Americans own guns. In other nations, they are more likely to be stabbed, poisoned, run over by cars, blown up by homemade bombs, set of fire, etc. Furthermore, adjusted for gun ownership, the rate of gun deaths are extremely low. That is to say, there are nations with far less gun ownership that have higher rates of gun violence. What explains the higher American homicide rate is its diversity. A comparison of Hispanic murder rates with Latin American nations, a comparison of African-American murder rates with Caribbean or African nations, a comparison of Asian-American murder rates with Asian murder rates, and a comparison of white murder rates with European murder rates, shows the United States is generally safer. That is to say, the immigrants to the U.S. are generally less violent, especially when factoring in crimes such as assault, rape and home invasions, than people in their ancestral nation. Despite its much stricter gun control, Europe has been the scene of more mass school killings than the United States.

"Absolutely. I think it has to do with concealed firearm reciprocity going across our nation. And I think it also has to deal with the typical first-time gun purchaser. Someone who's been saying 'I need to get something to protect myself, and I've been thinking about this for awhile' or 'My neighbor's house got broken into and I realize I don't have anything.'"

What is the better buy, guns or gold? Sturm Ruger makes a great .22 and their stock has held up:

Here's Sturm Ruger alone. I highlighted the falling volume, as a stock it is probably going to trade with the market in a crash. However, if this stock is capturing a piece of social mood, it's certainly sending a message in 2011.
