Shot in the Dark

Redder Flag

Rabidly pro-gun Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf sticks a fork in the idea of Red Flag laws, showing their complete absurdity.

Can you spot the problem, here?

No, it’s not the lack of an adversarial hearing, where “Randy” and his lawyer can argue his case. Although there’s that.

It’s not the fact that the standard of evidence to seize the guns (“clear and convincing evidence”) is vastly lower than the standard “Randy” must meet to get his property back (“preponderance of evidence”). Although it’s that, too.

It’s not even the fact that the police in step 6 drive away with the guns and leave “Randy” in, er, crisis. Although that’s also reason enough to balk.

No – it’s step 2, where “Jane” notices..pictures of guns.

As Wolf – who is to the right of Ted Nugent on guns – rightly points out, this is literally what Seoond Amendment people have been warning about for years; antis using any sign of sympathy for gun rights as grounds for harassment, using sympathetic, often Soros-funded prosecutors.,

And so I thank the radically pro-gun Governor Wolf for his public service.

UPDATE: I’m informed that Governor Wolf is an anti-gun Democrat, and that this cartoon was intended as a defense of Red Flag laws.

I regret the understandable confusion .

    I’ll have to admit I thought this post was sarcasm until I saw that Update.

    it’s worse than that, MBerg.
    How do you know that a state’s “red flag law” is working?
    You can’t count “mass shootings not prevented.”
    The only metric is the number of guns seized. States that have a “red flag law” routinely brag about how many guns have been seized as evidence that the law is effective.
    It really is the Department of Future Crime.

    MP, Minority Report is being used by the libturds as a manual, just like 1984.

    Confiscation Laws (call them what they are) have already been found unconstitutional.

    I read that the 10 Rinos backing it are not up for re-election in ’22 or 24′ and 4 are retiring. Represent.

    Off topic somewhat:

    Yet Another Conspiracy Theory Comes True: ‘At Least 20’ Feds Embedded at Capitol on Jan. 6.

    Conspiracy theory: you keep using that word; I don’t think it means what you think it means.

    One might interpret the graphic as “you can keep your guns until you bring them out, use them, take pictures of your social events, and the like.” Reminds me of the adage that the left will let you have your religion as long as you keep it private, and then will do everything they can to ensure you have no privacy.

    We know, because history shows us, that the FBI has been doing this stuff since the late 1950s. J. Edgar himself came up with the strategy. They started with Dr. Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement.

    I saw a video about two months ago that was made by two former FBI Directors and an upper level CIA person. They stated that the FBI has infiltrated every radical group in the country. Wish I had saved it.

    We also know that the DemoCommies have weaponized all of the government entities against their political foes, going back to slick Willy.

    Say, are cops subject to “red flag laws”?
    Since cops suffer from depression, alcoholism, and commit suicide at a higher rate than most Americans, it seems like a “red flag law” would have to be enforceable against a cop.
    Or else, why bother?

    So what we have here is a proposed federal law that would encourage states to adopt constitutionally doubtful — Hell, let’s just say it — unconstitutional “red flag law”‘s, With cops, who are demonstrably more subject to depression, alcoholism, and suicide exempt.
    Got it.
    Carry on, DC geniuses!

    What would the Uvalde shooter have done if he couldn’t get his hands on an AR 15? All he needed was a hammer or a butcher’s knife given what we know of the reaction of the Uvalde police.
    Worthwhile to repost this from Burton’s _Anatomy of Melancholy_:
    Dearths, tempests, plagues, our astrologers foretell us; Earthquakes, inundations, ruins of houses, consuming fires, come by little and little, or make some noise beforehand; but the knaveries, impostures, injuries and villainies of men no art can avoid. We can keep our professed enemies from our cities, by gates, walls and towers, defend ourselves from thieves and robbers by watchfulness and weapons; but this malice of men, and their pernicious endeavours, no caution can divert, no vigilancy foresee, we have so many secret plots and devices to mischief one another.
    People are really nasty, worse than any animal. They are malicious, and this includes people who become cops and deputies. Animals aren’t malicious. Disarming everyone is deeply stupid. The most horrific genocides of the 20th century were committed by people legally allowed to carry arms while their victims were forbidden, by law, from protecting themselves with arms.

    MP in a nutshell; “God created man and woman. Colonel Colt made them equal”.

    Emery, what you’re doing is assuming that because citizen carry does not make society totally impervious to mass butchery, that therefore it is of limited or no value. Lots of really bad statistical and sociological assumptions in that, and let’s remember that if you want to talk about serious butchery, that’s always occurred when government has a monopoly on force.

    bike is right. That California psycho that went after Justice Kavanaugh, won’t be the last one. Has anyone heard how he got across the country with that gun? I guess that if he did fly, he could have had it in a checked bag, but this is suspicious. The fact that Piglosi wouldn’t allow passage of a law to protect Supreme Court justices, tells me that the DemoCommies have something else in the works and I really am concerned about Kavanaugh and Barrett. Although I don’t think that even the bottom dwelling Dems would take Barrett out, I have no doubt that they would go after Kavanaugh and possibly Clarence Thomas. Outside of shit head Schumer’s initial incitement to violence against them, Gorsuch hasn’t been mentioned much.

    Here is CDC director Rochelle Walensky announcing approval to vaccinate children as young as 6 months:
    “We know millions of parents and caregivers are eager to get their young children vaccinated, and with today’s decision, they can.”

    And here is Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla announcing the CDC’s approval:
    “We know many parents in the U.S. have been eagerly awaiting an authorized vaccine for their children under 5 and we are proud to now offer them a vaccine option with a favorable safety profile.”

    The numbers the approval was based on were tiny, because they had to test thousands of children just to detect a few positive covid infections.
    The rest of the world thinks that we are mad to do this.
