Gun "Owners" Will Get Quite a Burial
Tuesday, November 25, 2014 18:49
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
The police in Buffalo, New York are planning to pay a visit to the estates of people who die. But this will only apply to a certain class of citizens – pistol permit holders. Unfortunately, the police will not be paying a visit to offer their condolences to family members of the deceased.
Instead, the police are starting a program to confiscate firearms. In order to better “serve and protect”, the police department will be running a cross check between the death records and gun permit holders. They are, of course, doing this in the name of public safety.
I suppose this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, particularly out of New York. This is the state that locked up football player Plaxico Burress for shooting himself in the leg. The crime wasn’t public endangerment, but the fact that Burress possessed a gun. Government officials in New York don’t want anyone possessing a gun except for themselves.
It will be interesting to see if this new program goes forward. It would have little chance in the south, but there may not be enough gun advocates in Buffalo to stop this.
As one Buffalo attorney pointed out, if the police come to your door without a warrant signed by a judge, you don’t have to let them in or give them anything. Let’s hope the people in Buffalo understand their rights. It is hard to imagine that the police will get a signed warrant, but anything is possible. Unfortunately, the police know that they can show up at doors without warrants and some people will be intimidated into giving up their rights.
Gun Rights or Property Rights?
While this is a major government overstep that is getting the attention of gun owners and gun advocates – as well it should – this is as much of a property rights issue as a gun rights issue.
If the Buffalo police confiscate the guns of deceased people, this can often be thousands of dollars or more worth of firearms. The guns can also be a piece of family history.
This program in Buffalo stems from a state law that says if a gun owner dies, the estate has 15 days to turn in the guns to police. And if the guns aren’t turned in, then police can confiscate them. This law does not apply to long guns.
We sometimes hear people say that instead of passing new gun laws, we should just enforce what is already on the books. I couldn’t disagree more because many of the gun laws go completely against property rights and a free society. The Buffalo police are trying to enforce a really bad law here that is already on the books.
This should concern everyone – even those who have no interest in owning a gun. This is a complete violation of property rights. If someone owns a gun, they should be able to pass it down to their heirs, just like any other item. It doesn’t matter if it is a television, a diamond ring, or a gun. It is owned property, and as an owner, you have the right to pass that on to others.
If this program goes into effect in Buffalo, I don’t see it spreading throughout the country. Maybe it will spread in New York. But it will also be interesting to see the unforeseen consequences of implementing this.
If anything, this will just encourage people to break other laws. Perhaps some people will stop registering for a permit to avoid detection. It is also possible that the city and/or state may end up with a lot of lawsuits in court over this.
I know that many gun advocates will disagree with me on this, but I don’t see this as a 2nd Amendment issue. I believe the 2nd Amendment was designed to prevent federal gun laws. I believe that all federal gun laws should be repealed.
But for this New York law, it is really a fight for the people of New York, or more specifically, Buffalo. They should not rely on the U.S. Supreme Court to knock this law down. The people of Buffalo need to take a stand against this infringement on gun rights and property rights. It is a bad law and it shouldn’t be enforced.

PLEASE MAKE VIRAL – BACKDOOR GOV KNOWLEDGE YOU NEED TO KNOW!
Refresher course – Each Police Dept, City County, State and the US ARE ALL FOR PROFIT BUSINESS CORPORATIONS (hiding under the false name Government)! So if you need to got to court, you will always win in court. The judge and city attorney ARE BOTH part of the same corporation (or they are both paid by the same office), so how can you or anyone get a fair and honest court? The judge is suppose to be impartial, but they are a paid employee of the same corporation as the city attorney AND YOUR Public Defender if you have one! So they do work together to screw everyone for more $ for the Private For Profit Corporation!
/alternative/2013/07/corporations-acting-as-governments-dont-forget-to-click-the-link-below-2-hours-24-minute-documentary-guarantee-to-change-your-life-forever-2718108.html
Ask the judge who they represent (aka city). Then ask the city attorney who they represent (aka city). Get that on court record as a Conflict of Interest or Favoratism and if you lose your hearing, FILE A APPEAL and state your judge showed “Favor” because they belong to the same FOR PROFIT CORPORATION, and it is Unconstitutional!
Also, if you have a Birth Certificate, you ARE A PRIVATE CORPORATION! So all newborn babies today, ARE FILLED in GOV AS A CORPORATION; YOU ARE NOT A CITIZEN! Now do you understand why you seem to have no Constititional Rights? Its because you are not a citizen, nor able to get Constitutional Right, but your are a Corporation until your death! That is the Gov loophole!
/politics/2014/11/us-birth-certificates-make-you-a-private-corporation-2663492.html
Also, your Birth Certificate is a Corporation BOND and TRADED AND SOLD ON WALL STREET! How more clear does it take for you to SEE YOU ARE A SLAVE TO THE GOV? Each person is bought and sold on WALL STREET DAILY! Also, if your mother never claimed you from the gov 90 days after your Birth Certificate was filed, that child is declared abanded and your gov owns that child! Now do you understand WHY the gov is involved so deeply into your parental rights? They are NOT YOURS! WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Also, do you know that you do not need a drivers license if you are not driving for your business? You DO NOT NEED one if you are travelling as a free person and not for profit. You only need a license IF YOU DRIVE FOR YOUR JOB OR PROFIT! And you don’t need insurance, registration, etc. Now do you know why all the illegals can legally drive a vehicle and not get pulled over?

Lastly, your children go to SCHOOL PRISONS! They get locked and chains on the door and don’t open them until school is over. They have uniformed police officers walking the halls with sidearms to threaten the children into learning, conforming, and not think for themselves; but to be taught what your government wants them to know (aka Brainwashed). Then lunch, they only get little food. This is A MUST READ! It will tick off EVERY PARENT but it opens your eyes:

IT IS ALL REAL SHEEPLE! WAKE THE HECK UP AND SEE WHAT IS REALITY! PLEASE PLEASE MAKE VIRAL AND SPREAD THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR BACKDOOR GOVERNMENT SYSTEM!!!!!! All links are on BIN! Bless all of you and SHARE THE TRUTH! Eyeopening hey?
Over my dead bo…..wait *~*
The Brown Shirts have been unleashed.
Why shouldn’y your precious guns be taken? You don’t even keep them for a valid reason, certainly not Constitutional ones?
You 2nd Ammendment clearly states the ONLY reason “the people” should keep arms is in the event that a rougue tyrannical Govenrment needs to be removed by the People and by force. There’s NO other reason.
The Constituation does NOT say you can keep guns to make your homes safe, nor to make you feel like a big man, nor to hide your pee-in-your-pants-over-anything-scary cowardess or simply that you are afraid and scared to live in your own towns without a gun to make you feel safe. For that you need therapy and help with your inner fears and gross paranoia.
And you should have them confiscated too because you constantly fail to act in the way the Constitution tells you to. Your “Forefathers” who wrote in the 2nd ammendment would be rolling in their graves at your inaction and inability to act. They gave you the right to own guns so you could kick out any Govt that acted against the public interest yet for decades you’ve sat on your hands and all you have done is moaned and complained or worse, capitulated.
You obviously do not have any courage to remove your tyrants so your guns SHOULD be taken away as you have no valid use for them. The founding fathers would have said you should have used them years ago yet YOU FAILED to act. You still fail to act.
You’re all failures by definition.
I suppose most Americans think John Wayne wrote the 2nd ammendment?
