New York has very strict gun laws...assault weapons must be registered in New York. I would expect that any unregistered assault weapon could be legally seized. In this "scenario" the cops could be fired for not following a legal order.
I looked up the word “milice”. Did not know they existed during WWII Vichy France. 25,000 milice did the Nazi’s dirty work because they knew the local dialects.
Knew there were plenty of collaborators but not of this.
We have to be truly concerned about police following illegal orders in order to protect their pensions.
Someone mentioned zero failures by police to carry out Red Flag confiscations. Even if a judge dismisses the complaint, the accused’s gun are still gone. If the judge orders his guns to be returned, the police flip him off & say, “So sue us”.
We are headed for fascistic times. Glad I’m getting old.
