White House encouraging states to consider red-flag law CT pioneered
The CT Mirror ^ | 3-26-2018 | Clarice Silber

The White House will be encouraging states to consider enacting a law Connecticut pioneered that allows the seizure of guns from people who might hurt themselves or others, administration officials said Monday.

Connecticut passed the measure, known as a “red flag law,” in 1999, in response to a mass shooting at a state lottery office. It allows two law enforcement officers, or one state’s attorney, to petition a court for an “extreme risk protection order” to temporarily take away an individual’s guns.

I believe Trump's comment was "take the guns first, due process second." Because I'm sure this unconstitutional nonsense won't be abused at all.

Trump is finished in my household. If I wanted unconstitutional infringements of the 2nd and 4th Amendments I'd have voted for Clinton.

Screw this guy.

“... Trump is finished in my household ... Screw this guy ...”

If that was an opus it was the worst I have seen.

I believe I’ll wait to see how accurate this is before I go off the deep end...

to temporarily take away

As in how much money do you have for an attorney to get them back?

Just make sure you don’t miss what Trump is doing, like many of you impulsive types have done lately.

Think about what you just posted.

... Trump is finished in my household. ...

And I add, Trump never chose to be started in your household, so he can not be finished there, except in your own head, which seems to be where you arrived at the fantasy he agreed he would go 4 years without saying something that is offensive to James.

We are mankind, individually a nightmare. When acting as a a collective, i.e. government, it's is a horror movie.

The best we get is the least worst, and sometimes the least worst isn't that bad.

Be grateful.

You sound a little like David Hogg ... not in political philosophy, but in temperment.

So just a reminder: This is the planet Earth. It is fallen. I suspect you are old enough to know that, but have you accepted that? Heaven admits those who don't ask the Earth to be Heaven.

Thanks James for declaring your independence based on the Connecticut Mirror.

Liberal Jackass you are.

Liberal is it? And what have you done lately to advance freedom besides bitching to the choir on FR?

Complacency seems to hold sway among conservatism these days.

Read your own posts.

You are done with Trump. I guess Hillary is your morning after.

What are you saying? I should not have supported DJT?

OK. What in your wide world of sports would be better?

Don’t F-up now, FR needs to know!

I see that you put complacency into the mix.

It takes a higher than average I.Q. to understand President Trump. Even less to understand the Swamp.

Considering the fact that UPS, FEDEX and the US CENSUS personnel can’t find where I live, I suppose we’ll be just fine. If they can’t find our house, they sure as hell can’t deliver any ‘protective orders’.

Trump isn’t entitled to my vote. He has to earn it. He did in 2016. He keeps pushing gun control and I’ll happily vote R for congress and leave president blank.

James, that is fine but putting your trust in some liberal rag out of Connecticut is beyond the pale.
