Meanwhile, John’s mustache grows longer. Ever longer…
And I should point out that the balloon going up has nothing to do with the shoulder thing that goes up.
Is it really? Are you sure? Why you always a hypeman on all this.
Trust me, the dude(s) who make valiant last stands against guys in bearcats with confiscation orders will not be heralded as heroes anymore than McVeigh or David Koresh.
Most people will find their resistance to have been pointless or morally wrong.
The short man syndrome of gun owners turns more people off than on.
The point is to stop selling these vague “F the man” woof tickets that we already know most won’t live up to and go back to that point where gun ownership and enjoyment was normal.
You WANT more people saying “I’m a Democrat but guns are cool and fun let’s keep those”
This Arfcom style beardo lone wolf incel rhetoric is not making any friends.
Do you think the hot brown girls lay up under the tub faucet with their legs spread fantasizing about some dude giving lectures on the Constitution or a guy who will take them on adventures, teach them something “dangerous”, and be fun to be around.
Because I won’t lie a lot of you seem kinda square.
Take that constructively though
Square is the new black. Or FDE. Or whatever.
That probably sounded wittier in your head there, Huey Lewis.
It’s all I could think of quickly.
Yes, it will be abused 99% of the time. Entirely predictable. But the people pushing for it may be surprised by who ultimately pushes the abuse and how. These laws will be abused by the same people who flooded New Zealand’s online gun turn-in form with phased plasma rifles in the 40w range. It really wouldn’t take much of that abuse, and unending “raids” - quickly changing to the equivalent of security alarm checks - for the law to become practically useless. Won’t take long before it cuts into legitimate reporting of unhinged people in more rural and/or conservative areas; family members will later say “oh, he was depressed and spouted off, but I didn’t think he was serious, and if I told anyone his guns would be taken and make him more depressed (and cut into my inheritance / welcome at family reunions).”
After 1-3 years most police departments will look at these laws as toxic, damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t situations, and will try to talk people out of filing the reports that trigger them, and enforce them in a very measured fashion, not wanting to actually get shot or prompt calls of brutality, etc., and well aware that so many of the allegations are false or highly biased. The usual suspect states may enforce these like stormtrooper wannabees, but in 40-45 states and in the rural areas of even the other 5-10 it will be more limited and rational, tempered by actual common sense that remains a thing.
Meanwhile a series of court challenges on due process will be made. Due process is already terrible on commitment anyway, and this will add another issue and more interested litigants. Can’t predict where it will end up, but it will be litigated heavily.
That’s my prediction. It takes us another quarter mile down the road to illegitimate government and without-rule-of-law society, but in a fashion more like modern Brazil and Mexico, not Mad Max.

I would love to read the source on this. Too funny.
I would love to see them. With all the infringement that we have seen on our Second Amendment rights, one would think we would have seen them by now, no? RW Arms just surrendered 60,000 BumpStocks for destruction. All I see is talk.
We draw another lines and continue to beat our chests about how THIS time it won’t be crossed.
Remember that only a very small percent of Americans participated in the American Revolution. If you add in all of those that fought on both side of the American Civil War, less then 9% fought… It is like a bar fight… You really need to be worried about the quite guy in the corner that is not running his mouth…Same for serial killers.
Food for thought.
I agree, but the point is with that the times we have had the government step on our dicks, someone would have done something.
How many laws have been passed which are blatant infringements, on both state and federal levels, with no consequences? None.
Part of me wishes that I could attach a rider on any gun legislation to ban Black History Month and tax all streaming services out the wazoo and make a Television tax like in Germany.
THEN people would get pissed, take to the streets, and pull some Marie Antoinette mess with guillotines and crucifixions
I dunno. I feel that the country was even more anti-gun 20 years ago. The left was even more aggressive, as DC v. Heller was still a decade away, and they knew that with the right justices, gun ownership could potentially be abolished completely. Handgun bans were on the table nationally, and in force in some places. And the fudd mentality was much more common even among conservatives; many had absolutely no problem with banning semi-auto rifles and actually supported it.
The difference that now, if you say the wrong thing in the wrong place, you’re more likely to get assaulted by someone who can’t mind their own business.
I agree… but I have to ask about the crucifixions… You have brought that up a lot… did you just watch Ben Hur or something? 
He only uses part of his name - the full name is: Pontius Pilotus Firefly.
You sir just won the internet for the day…LOLOLOLOL
I’m not aware of widespread abuse of involuntary committal - simply because at some point someone has to pay. From my experience in helping someone work through the process the biggest obstacle is the medical insurance.
I’m sure there will be abuses, although not a widespread as many think. Therefore, in states that adopt red flag laws it is going to be incumbent upon state firearms associations, and yes, gasp, even the ACLU to keep on top of things.
And it’s a wild pitch, over the catchers head for strike one! Berkshire holds at Trinity!
