FOR THIS...?
That's half the kids at the local middle school.
Before I write anything else, let me be clear. Wagshol is not some squeaky-clean, innocent angel. He wrote some vile racist and transphobic tweets. He also seemed to taunt the FBI in his tweets, which certainly isn’t the smartest thing in the world to do. That being said, holding bigoted views is not the same things as acting on those views. Voicing his bigoted opinions, while disgusting, is not a criminal act. The First Amendment protects his right to voice his hate in the same way that it protects flag burning. No one has to like it, but it’s not a criminal act.
Wagshol may also have been caught in a few lies made on Facebook. According to Norwalk police Lt. Terry Blake:
What kind of firearms were confiscated?
I bet you’re expecting to read a long list of firearms. The media spin has been predictable. CNN said “numerous” firearms were confiscated. The Washington Post described the weapons confiscated as a “cache” However, according to the Hartford Courrant:
Inside the condominium, authorities reported seizing a .40-caliber handgun, a .22-caliber rifle, a rifle scope with laser, firearm optics and flashlights, along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition. They also found body armor with a titanium plate, and tactical attire, police said.
So, two firearms. That’s what we’re talking about. And, the rifle takes the smallest rounds possible. It’s the kind of round you use plinking or to shoot squirrels or small pests. Who doesn’t have this stuff kicking around?

so his guns were confiscated for ‘possible future crimes’ in other words- he had them taken away for ‘thought crimes’?
Big constitution violations. The supremes should slam dunk this.

The dems are promising “Strong protections for due process” Eh? LIARS!

‘Tactical attire’? A guy in one of my training classes wears 5.11 head to toe, every day. ‘Tactical attire’?
Pay cash for a junk phone.
Obtain a list of Democrat campaign workers and voters.
Make some Red Flag phone calls.
There is nobody more suspect to perform future crimes.
This is best for public safety. /s
By transphobic, you mean he has am irrational fear of transgenders?
Sorry, but anything “phobic” just ticks me off. I am not irrationally fearful of trans or gays; I just don’t approve of their behavior or their agendas.
OK, back to read the rest of your post. :)
Now you know why they passed these laws.
(To take guns from innocent, non-violent citizens while leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.)
OK, so what is he doing about this?
Legally appealing?
I know it will cost him a fortune in legal fees to get his own stuff back IF the “state” allows it...
Is there a gofundme for his legal fees? Will the 2nd Amendment Foundation, NRA, GOA or somebody helping?
Can we help?
We talk too much; let’s take action!
Ok, playing devil’s advocate here and hoping this is all resolved in a manner that supports the 2nd Amendment....Right down the road from here is a sleepy little town where a parent owned some firearms. An unhinged son used them to murder her, and then head off to massacre a room full of school children, in Sandy Hook. That HAD to weigh heavily on the Police Department’s mind, when they made their decision.
Again I hope this is resolved in a manner that supports our rights as firearm owners but please consider that this incident did not occur in a vacuum. Thank you.
The prez has voiced support for these laws. After he signed the bumpstock ban, I am not surprised. Too bad. I cannot support a gun grabber.
