It’s out of context.
Scenario is a case where police are called in to a reported threat, and getting a warrant (”due process”) is reasonably expected to take too long before preventing grave harm. Police _do_ have authority to confiscate in such a situation, but the law needs clarification.
Exactly...
A big part of what President Trump says is taken totally out of context by the liberal media...AND the GOPe...
The Hill is as bad as the others...
Trump’s comments on the surface are indeed outrageous.
However, note that police can detain people and hold weapons for a short period without a formal arrest while an investigation is being performed.
Also note that there can be removal of weapons without the owner of the weapons having a say beforehand. This happens a lot with protection from abuse (PFA) orders. Yes, there is a warrant to remove weapons, but the owner doesn’t get a say before the judge until a later hearing.
That’s very predictable.
Finally, someone posts the context.
It’s amazing there are still people that don’t see how the liar media operate. This sort of thing happened so often o the campaign trail that it grew stale.
‘The Hill’ is an outlet for certain deep state operatives that hate Trump.
This right here is what people need to read - thanks CTDonath2. BTW I think it’s been a while since you’ve been around ? Good to reply to one of your posts again.
The police ... right now .. have the ability to take your guns and then make you go and get them back. You need to appear before judges and prove why you should have them back.
This happens now. And of course, all of my stories happened in CT and one in the Florida Panhandle. in FL my friend had a class 3 firearm and he forgot to comply in his yearly or 3 yearly or whatever. They came and took them. And others. His whole small collection it turned out. he had to appeal (Although not officially.. just before a court in a small room) to get them back.
In CT during routine traffic stops a cop will take your gun and tell you “Come down to the barracks and you can get it back”. Happens all the time in that backwards state. And that was before Sandy hook too.
All around the country your guns can be taken for many reasons. And they don’t need to submit any proof that you’ll do harm. They’ll take them and then kindly ask you to come and get them back. Which means asking. Or begging. Or whatever.
Donald Trump is a New Yorker. There are no conservatives in NYC and there are no pro-gun people there at all. Period. Don’t kid yourselves.
Thank you.

Ctdonath2,
This needs to be pinged to every person on this thread that didn’t get the context.
