The worst fear of gun owners over Red Flag laws has already happened!
And it happened a year ago, but nobody seems to be talking about that incident.

It happened in November of 2018 in Maryland. The police, following the law and their orders went to the home of a man to remove his guns because someone said he was a danger to himself or others. The man didn’t want to give up his guns and resisted. He had a gun, him and an officer, struggled over the gun and it went off. The second officer shot and killed the man to defend himself and his partner. I don’t blame the police completely as they were doing their job. However, a lot of people throughout history have died because someone was just doing their job or just following orders. I guess we do not train our police officers to be independent thinkers because they may decide not to do what they are told. I do however completely blame the unconstitutional law that forced this to happen. So, to recap, at least one person in this country has already died resisting an illegal Red Flag law. Yet, all I keep hearing is how we need Red Flag laws in each state. According to the liberals, these so-called common-sense gun laws will save so many lives and not hurt anybody. The following is the news story about the previously mentioned incident, from CBS 13 Baltimore.
FERNADALE, Md. (WJZ) — A 61-year-old man is dead after he was shot by an officer trying to enforce Maryland’s new ‘red flag’ law in Ferndale Monday morning. Anne Arundel County Police confirmed the police-involved shooting happened in the 100 block of Linwood Avenue around 5:17 a.m. According to police, two officers serving a new Extreme Risk Protective Order (Red Flag Law), a Maryland protective order to remove guns from a household, shot and killed the man listed on that order. “Under the law, family, police, mental health professionals can all ask for the protective orders to remove weapons,” said Sgt. Jacklyn David, with Anne Arundel County Police. That man was identified as Gary J. Willis of same address. Officials said Willis answered the door while holding a handgun. Willis then placed the gun next to the door. When officers began to serve him the order, Willis became irate and grabbed his gun. One of the officers tried to take the gun from Willis, but instead Willis fired the gun. The second officer fired striking Willis. He died at the scene. https://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2018/11/05/fatal-officer-involved-shooting-in-anne-arundel-county/
So, I guess we can conclude that some people may die during the enforcement of the new unconstitutional Red Flag gun laws. I wonder if all the Liberals in this country truly believe that Americans will just answer their doors and say, “come on in and take whatever you want cause you say I don’t need it and/or should not have it”. I think what you will see is something completely different. I believe that if you are planning on enforcing these laws the local, state and federal governments should stock up on body bags and that is not a threat. I believe that most Americans will not just give up their property or their rights because you say we should. I love a specific Ben Franklin quote” Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”. OMG, I bet you could make a liberal’s head explode trying to understand why American citizens would feel this way or refuse to just give up their rights. It would look like a scene out of the movie, Scanners. I’m probably dating myself with that reference.
We all here these politicians, celebrities and so-called activists say that if you pass a law banning firearms there will be no more gun violence. I can only assume that these people are just naive and not stupid. If those type of laws are passed, then only the people who obey the laws will not have guns. I think we can all agree that criminals do not follow the law. I can also only guess that they know nothing about history. In 1938 Hitler passed a law banning the sale and ownership of gun by Jews and minorities and then he slaughtered around 11 million of them and they had no way to fight back. No way to defend themselves. It is true that those who do not remember history are bound to repeat it, unfortunately. Then you here well that can’t happen here. Sure, it can if law abiding citizens have no way to defend themselves against a tyrannical government.
I find it funny that these so-called anti-gun activists keep pointing out how other countries don’t have the problems we have because they banned guns, etc. Yet, Switzerland has the highest rate of gun ownership in Europe and almost the lowest crime rate in the world. Their gun ownership is 45.7 guns per 100 legal residents. Now I should point out that when you apply to buy a gun you must first pass a violent crime regulations test and a gun safety and handling tutorial, but only once not every time you buy a firearm and I don’t have a problem with that. I had to take a course to carry concealed in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Hell, for matter of fact I had to learn that in school, literally. In high school during P.E. Class every year we had 3 days of instruction. The State Police and Forest rangers would come in and teach classes all day about hunting safety, gun safety, and proper handling of a firearm while entering and exiting your hunting area. Maybe if we still did this, we could cut down on some of these shooting issues. Especially the accidental shootings.
Hell, it should be perfect to these parents nowadays as they expect the teachers and government to raise and educate their kids, since they don’t have the time or inclination to raise, teach and punish their children on their own accord. Uh-Oh I said punish. Maybe, just maybe if these people had to take a test to see if they were going to be fit parents before they could have children, we could cut down on a lot of these problems also. If they would pay more attention to their children then their purchasing of products or hell even as much attention as they due to keeping up with the Jones, their kids might feel loved and not alone in this world.
The founding fathers or framers of the Constitution of the United States of America knew what they were doing when they wrote the Bill of Rights. The wanted Americans to be able to protect themselves from both invaders and a tyrannical government because that is what they had fled when they left England under the rule of a King. Where you have no real rights of which to speak. As Thomas Jefferson once wrote” What country ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. Jefferson went on to say” The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure”.
Now I would never tell somebody how they should live or react to something. That is between them and God. I am not trying to start a rebellion. I can only say how I would react to people showing up at my door to forcibly take my property, especially my guns and my rights guaranteed to me by the constitution. Again, I cannot and will not tell others how to act or react to any situation but make no doubt about it they are going to come for your guns and then they can take everything else with no resistance. Because how do you stand up to a government if they are the only ones wielding guns. That is nothing but a slaughter waiting to happen. Now my county in the Commonwealth has made the decision to be a sanctuary county for the 2nd amendment. I am very proud to see they understand both the constitution and the will of the residents that live here. In the end what it comes down to is the next election. If you want to keep your rights than study each candidate and cast your vote accordingly. This is after all the only true power we have.
