// When asked about the confiscatory order that resulted in the seizure of the Lighthouse Point resident’s firearms, Mayor Glenn Troast said, “This is not about the Second Amendment and it’s not about the NRA. We need commonsense gun laws and this is a commonsense gun law that gives police officers new tools they need to help us protect our community.” //

Need more info.

They didn’t just randomly pick a gun owner and take away his personal belongings I’m sure.

He been running around threatening to kill his neighbor’s dog? Talking to family about suicide?

Not just black and white most of the time.

Since the Economy is humming right along, I’m going to try and get some Investment Group to give me the Money to open a Jack Boot Factory.

I’ll be as rich as the POTUS before you know it.

Rick Scott's political career should be over at this point. Just another cowardly Republican.

So in the name of "common sense" the police can violate the Second Amendment without REAL due process.

This can't end well.

So, all you have to do in order to have someone civil rights taken away is to bribe a judge.

The linked article provides more details. From the read I would surmise the man may be a paranoid schizophrenic, he has come to the attention of law enforcement before. It is likely his neighbors were rightly concerned with his behavior and access to firearms.

Dumb article that doesn't list any of the prior statements or behavior of the guy that led police to believe that he was a danger to the community.

I really hope that they can't hide behind "medical history is private info". If he is a danger to the community then we should know what caused him to lose his guns. If he is not then we should know in order to protest and support his legal defense.

“taken to a hospital for involuntary psychiatric treatment.”

"Deemed" and taken to the hospital for Involuntary psychiatric treatment.

undoubtedly re education camps will soon be necessary to accommodate the many individuals deemed to be in need of psychiatric treatment.

Totally missing from this story, written in a way to set our hair on fire, is the actual record on this man. Where is it?

Had he placed fear in people or institutions or businesses?

For how long had he been deemed a threat by others, if any?

How many complaints were lodged against him, by others.

How many counseling or psychiatric or clinical recommendations have been proposed for him?

I would have hoped Cruz would have been placed in a clinical setting long ago. Seventeen souls might still be alive on earth.

Here, this puts a rather different light on this. Read this more detailed article and see clearly why the guy was committed and guns seized:

Apparently no one died unconstitutionally stealing this man’s property. That is not a good start.

I wonder why the Broward Cowards were afraid to disarm Nikolas Cruz but weren’t afraid to disarm this guy. Doesn’t sound like he was much of a threat to the community to me.
