And I’m Proud to Be an American, Where at Least I Know I’m Free

I Lost My Freedom, Money, And Guns Based On No Evidence And With No Chance To Defend Myself [More]

But…but…but white male privilege…

Oppressors would do well for themselves to remember that “Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose.”

Speaking of Miserable Ingrates…

Dem Says American Murdered by Illegal Alien is a ‘Distraction’ from Party’s Deportation Due Process Focus [More]

She’s all for “due process” unless it means guns will be taken away without a trial and conviction. (And what’s with politicians passing laws that affect us all pre-censoring comments that might oppose them?)

Funny, how she’s bent on imposing the same monopoly of violence tyranny her parents fled Iran over on the country that gave them refuge.

A Red Letter Day

A Michigan court may issue an extreme risk protection order “ex parte” – without written or oral notice to the subject of the order or an opportunity to respond to the allegations. If the petitioner is a law enforcement officer, he or she may apply for an immediate emergency order “verbally over the telephone,” without a written petition, and the judge or magistrate may issue the order based solely on that request.

So… does this mean Carita’s a liar…?

Unexpected Twist/Predictable Response

A gun violence restraining order obtained by CBS 8 states a 20-year-old Carlsbad man was texting with Samantha Rupnow to coordinate a mass shooting. [More]

Because we all know dangerous people can’t get more guns.

So, due process trumps expedience…?

“Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!”

Due Process First

Just tell me you’ve got Donald on board.

I suppose it’s too much to mention the only law that will work…

We’re the Only Ones Diagnosing Enough

A police officer who visited Russo’s home to investigate allegedly reported that the dog was stiff, barely breathing, and appeared to be uncomfortable. The officer obtained a warrant and had Tipper euthanized. [More]

In Massachussetts, “Only Ones” are also “qualified” to file an ERPO petition.

Hey, take the dogs first, due process later, right?

It’s for the greater good…

A Way to Make It Harder

Dettelbach, in the AP interview, declined to comment on the specifics of Card’s case, which an independent commission in Maine is investigating. But he said it is clear that the nation needs to make it harder for people “that everyone agrees should not have firearms, who the law says are not entitled to have firearms, to get them because it’s too easy to get them now.” [More]

But we already know a way.

It’s just that there’s this “due process” thing those who would rule us don’t want to have to follow…

Herer’s a first step in the right direction, but as long as they’ve got to be let out before they can be declared safe with certainty, expect plenty of lapses.

And Thank You for Your Service

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is putting together legislation to require the U.S. military to adhere to state-level red and yellow flag laws for troops. [More]

Denying them due process and stripping them of a fundamental right is one hell of a way to show appreciation.

A River in Egypt

JAMES WAS ARRESTED IN JANUARY 2022 FOR THREE MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT CHARGES. THE VICTIM’S BELIEVED TO BE HIS PARENTS AND A SIBLING. THE FAMILY STATED THAT JAMES DOES NOT BELONG IN JAIL. [More]

That’s one hell of a tightrope to walk, weighing familial love and guilt against denial, justifiably fearing police overreactions, and ensuring due process-respecting interventions.

There oughta be a law.

The Sentence First, Verdict Afterwards Act

Durbin, Duckworth Join Colleagues To Introduce Legislation To Protect Domestic Abuse Survivors From Gun Violence [More]

Durbin, Duckworth Join Colleagues To Introduce Legislation To Deny Constitutional Rights to the Accused — there, I fixed it for them.

No prognosis yet on GovTrack, but with a Republican House consider this political posturing by the usual gang of rights prohibitionists in anticipation of SCOTUS enraging them in Rahimi.

Assuming the GOP doesn’t blow ’24.

Double Check Double Talk

Protect American lives with improved screening at the point of purchase for firearms [More]

So via due process-free prior restraints? Using GIGO/hallucinating AI…?

And what about where the overwhelming majority of “bad guys” get their guns?

And one of the “ambassadors” is the guy who “defied a court order to turn over lists of officers with multiple allegations of excessive force” and who, as Chi-Town’s top “Only One,” headlined a gun-grab panel with Jesse Jackson and “Snuffy” Pfleger…?

Curious, how registering their site by proxy keeps us from seeing if anyone else is behind the curtain.

You don’t need to walk on eggshells with this Tim Kennedy guy. He’s no pal.

Acting on Russell Brand Accusations without Proof Draws Parallels to ‘Red Flag’ Confiscations

And in Brand’s case, the public furor being incited may be more about leftist policies he opposes, like Covid “denialism” now being painted as a “right-wing signaling trope.” He’s left the reservation. It’s too dangerous to let a previously favored mass influencer do that. [More]

It’s not about self-absorbed celebrity narcissists. What they can do to anyone based on unproven allegations they can do to you and me.

Posers

The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday, Sept. 5, approved recommendations intended to promote and track the filing of gun violence restraining orders against people who pose a danger to themselves or others. [More]

If they’re proven dangers, why aren’t they in custody until they no longer are?

If it hasn’t been proven, how is saying they pose a danger not libelous?
