He only proved himself dangerous when he was accosted in his home by jackbooted thugs trying to steal his property.
They had no warrant and so had no reason to be at his door in the first place.
If he had committed a crime it would be a different story, but he did not.
We cannot, according to our constitution, pre-emptively arrest people for crimes they “might” commit. We cannot let the liberals get into that mindset else every Patriot will be behind bars for some future offense.
Police said the suspect, Gary J. Willis became irate when they tried to serve him. He opened the door to his house and grabbed the gun. When police tried to take the gun away, Willis fired his gun. A second officer fired their service weapon and hit Willis.
This is an account from WUSA channel 9 that indicates in the first sentence that they had already been given the court order to serve and were attempting to do so when Willis pulled his gun. When the officers felt threatened as Willis opened the door and after Willis had picked up the weapon, they took action based upon a person making a threat with a weapon. And it would be difficult to explain why he pulled the weapon after he knew he was being served other than to use it threateningly or discharge it if he wished. Both against the law.
Maryland sheriff’s deputies and police officers have served more than 100 of the gun seizure orders just since October 1st, when the red flag law took effect, according to Montgomery County Sheriff Darren Popkin.
They are just carrying out the orders of the court based upon a determination that the individual they are serving is questionable, or more, in having access to weapons. He can go back to court and get them back if the action against him is incorrect. And he can sue the state and locals for retribution. But attack, or threatening that looks like an attack, is foolish at best. It’s a legal action, not a lawless one.
