On Friday, police showed up to a young man’s workplace and tried to arrest him over social media posts reported to them by an old army buddy of the 28-year-old Afghanistan veteran. This man, known as Alex and popular on Instagram under the handle of WhiskeyWarrior556, slipped out of the back door, hurried home to check on his family where he found out police had already forced themselves into his home and confiscated his legal firearms after threatening his wife with calling child protective services to remove her newborn child. Alex then barricaded himself inside his own attic, unarmed. Law enforcement

Jackbooted storm troopers, without the slightest due process, on a totally unsubstantiated "tip", wipe out a person's civil rights, and if he had resisted significantly, they WOULD have killed him.
A "high capacity magazine" which is actually a NORMAL capacity magazine, now a criminal offense to own in NY state. These laws are unconstitutional - "...shall not be infringed". This is a definite infringement.

I feel they are pushing us to resist. Taking a man's child because he might have a 30 round mag. A mag that was, more than likely, legal when he purchased. Coming to his home and place of work to destroy his reputation. How far will they go to get us to push back? I want to know what the police felt when they destroyed the Constitution?

Madonna said she's "thought a lot about blowing up the White House".
Madonna has armed guards.
Should we confiscate their weapons?

This incident is beyond outrageous. Murderers, rapists, thieves, drug pushers are active all over and this police department puts all of those deadly resources out there to nail a veteran who might have a magazine that does not meet Cuomo's size requirements. The slightest resistance would have resulted in the death of this man. There are times when the police or more likely their management are not doing a good common sense job.

FTA: ''...what are the next rights to be taken? After all, our rights to speech or religion, or even DUE PROCESS itself...'' [Caps mine] You may want to ask President Trump about that due process thing.

We all want to support the police, but then they do something like this. I'm starting to think there are more enemies of liberty than friends.
I know, they are just doing their job. So were the gestapo.

"reported to them by an old army buddy"... That's former army buddy. Anybody who would do this is no friend, and these laws are beyond terrible and un-Constitutional. Why haven't any gone to the Supreme Court yet? They should all be struck down yesterday.

How horrifying for this young man. He has more honor than those jackboots who tried to arrest him. Same with that supposed buddy of his who turned him in. Is this going to turn out to be the new trend in SWAT now? Supposed friends turning on their friends and putting them into the line of fire? You know who used to do this? The paranoids of the USSR. Only in their case they got a record album or a pair of western made blue jeans.

The police and all law enforcement should be very wary. There are way too many armed civilians that are sick and tired of this behavior from the so called police.
What is going to happen one of these days is someone who has lost everything due to police malfeasance is going to stake out the people that did him wrong and with nothing lest to lose but ones life, it's kill or be killed. This cr@p has to stop before it leads to a civil war against all law enforcement.

Victims of Red Flag Laws make picking the 'low hanging fruit' easy for cops. A whole lot easier than taking down drug rings, and if the victim fires back at the cops, the gun grabbers will have their 'proof' that more gun laws work.

No matter how much you rationalize this “law”, it is totally unconstitutional and relegates NY into a police state! This is truly the reason why the Second Amendment was created to in the first place; to protect the people from a totalitarian government!
Gird your loins and prepare as this is going to get worse soon!

Police chief Michael Cazzari is qualified to make a medical diagnosis and his word is fact?
Start by suing him. Turn red flag laws into mush.

I hope someone takes this all the way to SCOTUS if necessary. Then sue everyone involved. The police should have checked to see if there were any REAL mental health issues, instead of going on the word of an unqualified person, who may be 'mentally ill' themselves.
Sue... Them... All...

And some think law enforcement will be on our side. These Yankee states are becoming more and more the enemy of the people with each passing day. Sheriffs, SWAT team and local police? Seriously? But, they can't confiscate the arsenals of untrained gang banger organizations. They get handled with kid gloves; we have to buy back their guns. Whatever the heck buy back means.

Using today, November 24, 2019, as Day One, let's start a countdown to the day our GeheimeStaatsPolizei (Gestapo) uses these Red Flag laws to invade the home, threaten the family and take the propery and civil rights of the first, dare we utter the word, Muslim-- peace be upon him. I'm laying heavy odds our political system and our police are so cowed and beaten by Islam that that day will NEVER come.

The Supreme Court will ultimately decide this one, and set back these leftist nutjob cities from violating residents' Second Amendment rights.

NRA? Wake up. Skip a month with the free trucks and membership gifts and FIGHT this. That is really the only reason you exist. Instead Wayne will use this as another reason to give him more money. I know the reasons to be a member, but really tired of being ignored by an organization that crows about defending our gun rights.

It was low down of the LE to threaten the man's wife with loss of her newborn. On what basis were they going to take the baby?
