In the Spirit of Bipartisanship

Earlier this year, the plaintiff’s wife had been involuntarily admitted to a mental health facility, based on a language-related misunderstanding, resulting in her discharge with a diagnosis of “Adjustment disorder with depressed mood, seven weeks pregnant.” In April of 2025, acting on the information about his wife, the Fort Lee Police Department confiscated Mr. Aliaj’s firearms, ammunition, and related accessories from his home, without presenting any warrant or court order.

Naturally, “the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office was taking the position that his weapons were confiscated under New Jersey’s ‘Duty to Inform’ law,” because Mark Musella is a New Jersey “Republican.”

“Law and order” über alles, right? Especially where “the supreme Law of the Land” is ignored as a matter of course.

O Canada

Remember when the RCMP broke into homes of a neighborhood and stole firearms from them, while the owners had evacuated due to flooding? [More]

And:

CBRPS has a cattle coral drive-through set up for licensed owners to turn in their guns for the grab. You don’t get out, you just roll up and officers come to your vehicle to retrieve them. [More]

I remember when Sgt. Preston was the good guy. Now, Dudley Do-Right has transitioned into Snidely Whiplash.

True, they don’t have a First or a Second Amendment, but contrary to popular opinion, Australians have a right to free speech and a right to keep and bear arms. Everyone does.

What most don’t have is the will to keep violence monopolists from denying them.

The Plot That Keeps on Thickening

Our story so far:

Equivocation and avoidance is a funny way of proving you’re “True North Strong,” eh?

Who’s Infringin’? We’re Confiscatin’

The US Court of Appeals, 6th Circuit, has ruled in a case involving a Sheriff’s Department which confiscated 14 guns and has refused to return them to the alleged owners. [Watch]

Jojo Krako comes to mind.

I’m assuming the claimants did not obtain their firearms through an FFL.

So, if you bought your guns through private sales and you don’t register them with the state, you’re effectively presumed “guilty” until you can prove your “innocence”…? It’s not up to the Only Ones who took them from your home to prove they’re not yours…? And it’s not like the value of the guns is worth a protracted series of battles through the courts.

If I had any guns I bought, say, back in 1977 from a co-worker whose last name I can’t even remember anymore and who may be long dead for all I know, they could take them from me if a guest acted up. The only reasons that could never happen is I don’t know any cowardly bullies with anger management problems and would never allow them in my house if I did, plus, as we’ve long established, I would never own a gun — evil, nasty things things always going around killing people…
