It Begins: Seattle Cops Conduct Nazi-Style Gun Confiscations: No Laws Broken, No Charges, No Arrests

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Using a new law, Seattle police raided a man’s home and confiscated his guns with zero due process for entirely legal behavior.

 

 

“We now have to go to someone’s house and knock on the door and say, ‘We’re from the government. Can we have your guns?’” —Seattle Police Sergeant Eric Pisconski

Seattle, WA — In the wake of the Florida shooting, politicians, police, and activists alike are scrambling to find ways to prevent the next tragic attack. Without hesitation, last week, notorious gun-grabber Senator Dianne Feinstein, sat next to Donald Trump’s and likely salivated over his remarks as he called for the removal of due process and to “take the guns first.” However, this practice of taking guns without due process is already underway in the land of the free.

Citing Nikolas Cruz as the reason for advocating the removal of due process, the anti-gun activists in D.C. are claiming he should’ve had his guns taken which would have prevented the tragedy. Sadly, however, they are ignoring the fact that he was accused of multiple felonies—and should’ve never been able to purchase a gun in the first place—but law enforcement failed to act on any of it.

In Florida, if a person making death threats intends for the victim to fear for her safety, specifically fearful of death or bodily harm, it is considered a credible threat under the law, which changes the crime from stalking, a first-degree misdemeanor, to aggravated stalking, a felony of the third degree. Cruz was reported at least 4 times for this very crime before he bought his AR-15 and police did nothing.

There is a law on the books known as the Extreme Risk Protection Order or ERPO, which went into effect in June of 2017. This law is used when a person is considered an “extreme” threat as reported by police and family members. An ERPO must be approved by a judge and only after this person is proven to be a danger to themselves or others can police move in to confiscate their weapons.

“We now have to go to someone’s house and knock on the door and say, ‘We’re from the government. Can we have your guns?’” Pisconski told KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross. “That can get very dangerous.”

While touted as a necessary tool for police, an ERPO removes due process as the person who is accused of being mentally unstable does not have to be present and gets no chance of facing their accuser.

Last week in Seattle, a man was petitioned for an ERPO and his case is proving everything wrong with the law. The man has yet to be identified, however, he has become the first public victim of the removal of due process and a police raid to initiate gun confiscation.

According to police, the ERPO stemmed from a neighbor reporting the man for “staring” at them through a window. The man was also “accused” of open-carrying a holstered pistol.

Staring is most certainly not illegal. Also, it is entirely legal to open carry a pistol in Belltown. This man had not made any threats to anyone. However, his entirely legal behavior was considered a threat—so police confiscated his guns.

“He was roaming the hallways with a .25 caliber automatic,” one of the man’s neighbors, Tony Montana told KIRO news as an apparent reason to justify the ERPO. Clearly showing his ignorance, Montana attempted to assert that the man’s handgun was “automatic.” Yet still, police took this man’s word alone as a reason to remove another man’s due process and take his guns.

Naturally, the man did not want to be disarmed, so he refused to give police his guns. That prompted police to escalate the situation.

“We attempted multiple times to get the individual to fulfill that order of turning over their firearms,” Pisconski said. “And he refused multiple times. We were forced, at that point, to take the next step in the ERPO law which is petitioning for a search warrant to go in and enter their home and remove the firearms from them.”

Had this man resisted with force, rest assured that he would’ve been killed. His life would’ve been taken by police and he never committed a crime.

Pisconski told KIRO that they are walking a fine line because they don’t want to criminalize mental health. However, they aren’t criminalizing mental health at all as the victim was never even given a mental health evaluation and police took his guns because people feared his entirely legal behavior. 

To those who may be in favor of such laws, consider the following: There is no way to stop an estranged spouse from call police repeatedly and telling them their ex is threatening to cause harm to others. This man simply open-carried a pistol and looked out of windows and his guns were taken.

Anyone, any time, now has the ability to claim someone else is a threat and have police take their guns. One does not need to delve into the multiple ‘what if’ scenarios to see what sort of ominous implications arise from such a practice. What’s more, police now have the power to deem you a threat at any time and legally disarm you—due process be damned.

To those that support the removal of due process under the ostensible notion that it would make you safer, you would do well to remember history before you or someone you know finds yourself subject to an ERPO.

      This age 21 and bump stock grab is UNENFORCEABLE because it violates the 2nd Amendment of being NOT “infringed”. This is a treasonous and tenuous excuse because it is NOT even related to the crime.

      This clearly is GUN GRAB and treason. I call forth no citizen to incriminate himself to commit treason or to be complicit in it by complying to this illegal directive.

      And anybody that does has committed treason and a Militia or citizen arrest in to be made. :twisted:

      Trump has disappointed me by being complicit with Democraps and the notorious communist Diane Frankenstein.

        At some point people will start resisting. There’s are more people who are willing to die to DEFEND their constitutional rights, than law enforcement who are willing to die TAKING them.

      The dumbass people agreeing with the NWO natzi vatican to remove guns will not tell you that their thugs and criminals will hide theirs and bring them out when they feel it’s time for their raids . Look up Europe being destroy by Muslims on YouTube . This is because they allowed the vatican NWO natzi Esau Edomite luciferians to remove their guns . Then the Muslims that the vatican suggested to take in are now raping children and women and killing men . They are being driven away from their homes . Some of their officals suggested to the women don’t resist them learn to give in and enjoy the raping it feels better if you do . They ought to have killed that pieces of crap on the spot ! America has 300 million guns and are buying more every day . These thug police they are sending door to door are Russians and UN troops dressed up in American uniforms that O stupid idiot brought in while setting his fly drawing sodomite ass in our White House chair . O nut case tried Jade Helm on Texas with these Russian and UN troops he brought into America . They were running in American citizens back yards hiding in fields and barns collecting information against Texas and the other surrounding states to make ready for gun removal . But Texas called up their guards . Good for you Texas ! They watched them until they were gone . Then O nut job told Texas you have committed Treaon by calling up the guard . They replied no sir you have committed treason against our Constitution by bringing in foreign troops to remove American tax paying citizens guns and allowing foreign troops the freedom to run thru our properties baring guns ! And why is this Treasonist jerk still alive and walking on American soil ? Why is our tax dollars paying guards to protect him everwhere he goes while he sets up more Treasonist actions and riots against America ? Where the hell has our common sense gone too ? The Constitution has already told us how he is to be handled for Treason !
