A man in Seattle has had his gun confiscated by police after breaking no laws. The police took his gun without a warrant and without pressing any charges. Tyranny has officially taken hold on American soil.
This sets a precedent that government can now forcefully take guns away from an individual without a crime being committed or an arrest being made and without a warrant. In the name of fear and political exploitation of anti-gun rhetoric, a citizen’s Second Amendment rights have been ripped away from him by the government.
The new “red flag” law, which has taken hold in other states already, allows the courts and law enforcement to take away guns from individuals they deem are dangerous and they’ve just begun the confiscation. A man living in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington became the first individual in the state to have his firearm confiscated without any formal arrest or charges. The man was not identified by authorities.
Neighbors complained that the man had been “staring” at people through storefront windows while wearing a holstered firearm. He was not brandishing his weapon by any account, and open carrying is legal in the area, so he was abiding by the law. Other residents also complained that the man’s open carrying made them feel “uncomfortable” and “unsafe.”
“He was roaming the hallways with a .25 caliber automatic,” said Tony Montana, a man who lives in the same apartment complex as the gun owner and a person without any reasonable gun knowledge. Handguns are semi-automatic.
These lousy complaints from neighbors allowed police to use the newly passed state law to confiscate the man’s firearm because the man apparently stared at others. Maybe there’s a ban on staring at others in Washington we are unaware of. Under the extreme risk protection orders — also referred to as “erpos” or “red flag laws” — police (government officials) are now allowed to violate a person’s Second and Fourth Amendment rights (which are basic fundamental human rights) and take their legally acquired personal property if they are tattled on by offended liberals.
Tyranny has now taken hold on American soil.

I live on the left coast. I fucking hate it. One more reason, in the pile of reasons, to rent out my house and go mobile.
I lived in Seattle, 20 years ago, while attending the UW. I know (used to know) that part of the city. Lots of hippies, there was a club you could openly smoke pot in back in the 1990s before it was legal. There was also a lot of homeless and marginal housing in the area mixed in with small studios. It wasn't the nicest part of town. No idea what it is like now.

I was born and raised in Seattle. Lived there until 2 years ago when I moved 300 miles away. My Aunt used to work at candy distributers near first and Bell street in what is now Belltown. It used to be a nice city. Back in the 50's, my cousin and I would get free candy and charms where she worked. They should rename Seattle: Sodom after their mayor Ed Murray resigned over a pedophilia charge. The only difference between a Sodomite and a pedophile is time. I don't know which is more liberal; Seattle or Portland but it figures that they would start gun confiscation there.

Here comes a downvote Shoah:
While I'm a very pro-gun person, I absolutely hate the fact that some gunowners interpret their 2A Rights as an open license to act like assholes.
Case in point:
I was out at a bar with some friends one night (guy's night out), and 1 of the guys I was with started a fight with another group. When he got called-out by the other group, he said "You really want to do it, we can, but I got an M-16 in the trunk of my car out there". (He in fact, did have a full-auto M-16 in the car, but without the gun, he wouldn't have had any balls at all).
I calmed the situation down, a la "Sorry about my friend, he's had a lot to drink", and was cool with the other group...and then tore this idiot I was with a new asshole for starting a fight in the first place, again, ONLY because he outmatched the other group.
The problem is, every time gun owners act like dipshits, it just adds supportive evidence to the cause of the Antigun Commie Libtard Cocksuckers who don't know a damn thing about guns, but think nobody except "The Benevolent Government" should have them, because their only sources of information are leftist propaganda, and other forms of brainwashing...made-for-TV "evil domestic-abuser man" movies, Oprah, The View, etc.
In the case of this creep in Seattle, the guy has a gun on display, and is out in public acting strangely.
What are the cops supposed to do?
Take a chance that maybe the guy's okay, and there's an innocent reason for how he's acting? What if they're wrong? (They'd be publicly crucified, if the guy turns out to be a nutter, and they failed to prevent a needless shooting, when they had a chance to, especially in a place like Seattle).
I'm on the side of the cops with this one. They made a judgment call based on the circumstances and available information, with the intention of protecting the public.
Not everything is a grand conspiracy.

Agree. Let me fix it for you gunnuts - don't behave like a psychopath asshole carrying your gun trough the neighborhood, there are no constitutional rights helping you from being perceived as dangerous. Otherwise - I'm full for the 2nd, all decent citizens shouldn't be judged trough the prism of the nutcases.

In reply to trough, what? by TuPhat
+1000 Croesus.
With greater freedom, (the right to carry firearms), comes greater responsibility. You are supposed to behave like an adult at all times. You are expected to act in a reasoned and sensible fashion. When you fail to do that, as in Crouses's friend and the guy in Seattle who was disarmed, you will and do have that most cherished of rights withdrawn, if not permanently, at least temporarily. It also helps to have a friend like Croesus who will and did climb in your wheelhouse if you happen to be screwing up. So did the guy in Seattle get a psych review? I would tend to think that would be the top priority.

In reply to trough, what? by TuPhat
So, they have shredded the 2nd Amendment in Seattle.
They have taken the ability of citizens to defend themselves and thereby restricted their FREEDOM under the US Constitution. (Dan Bongino in many of his radio shows provides excellent information on the topic of FREEDOM and why there is no such thing as "GUN CONTROL" in a society where criminals don't care about the RULE OF LAW.)
Maybe it is time to put Seattle under MARSHALL LAW at the FEDERAL LEVEL and lock up the local police force since they are now in violation of the US Constitution.
Is this where this whole situation is headed because of a IGNORANT MARXIST PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL culture that wants to turn America unwittingly into a POLICE STATE??
Going forward, WE THE PEOPLE need to vote every single DEMOCRAT and RINO out of office in the upcoming 2018 midterm elections if we want to preserve what is left of the republic. Think about it.
Choose wisely America because the days are EVIL.

No one is asking the obvious question. Did he have a carry permit? Is there even such a thing in Washington State?

The article said that open carry is legal. This implies strongly that one does not need a permit. As to parading around with his gun, any form of concealment would leave him open to arrest.

@ Gator:
Either way, licensed or not, the cops did their job right by disarming him, if he's acting abnormally, and the fact that they took it pretty-much means they had "just cause" (e.g. They weren't put-at-ease by the situation after making contact with the guy, and felt that disarming him was the best course of action).
Without charges filed, chances are, the guy can go down to the police station and get it back, and it was only taken away from him on a temporary basis.
Slavo's article doesn't talk about the multitude of scenarios that are possible, WA's gun laws, or much of anything substantive...it just automatically assumes "BIG CONSPIRACY" based on a shred of information.
I can guarantee you, that this incident was not the first time a gun ever got taken away from an American citizen by a cop with no charges filed.
Slavo's trying to see something that isn't there, with this one.

"The only difference between a Sodomite and a pedophile is time."
+1000. This is the unfortunate dirty secret of the LGBT movement. I used to think, live and let live, just leave me alone.
The last couple years, and "pizza gate" have opened my eyes to the evil of LGBT is a stepping stone to defiling children.
Maybe thats why the legacy religions had the death penalty ordained for such folks.
They ( or their versions of God) knew is was a metal illness with NO recovery.

It's .25 caliber Semi-automatic.
And that's hardly even a real gun.
If this sort of nonsense is really happening, why are these officers breaking their oath?
They swear an oath to uphold the constitution of the Unites States of America, and they are violating that oath by violating that individuals rights as guaranteed under the second amendment.
Government does not grant rights, it is supposed to protect a persons rights.
Those officers are now oath breaking POS.

The same reason the people who volunteer to serve in the military as paid killers lie when taking their oath. They don't understand what they're swearing, so are lying, or they know and just want paid, so are lying. Either way, they are the very means by which the regime violates the Constitution they swear to uphold. Upside bizarro land called USA Inc..

There was a time when the word 'pistol' encompassed both revolvers and non-revolvers, which have come to be called 'pistols.' Back in the day, a non-revolver was referred to as an 'automatic.' There are automatic pistols such as the MAC-10, but they're typically chambered in 9mm and are illegal to those who don't have an NFA Series 3 license. The poor disenfranchised citizen described in the article had a measly 25, the caliber James Bond was pressed by his boss to get rid of in favor of a .32 caliber 'automatic.' FYI

Well, the name of that round is the .25 ACP, as in 'automatic colt pistol'. This guy could be a dumbass, or he could be an old redneck. My grandfather, who grew up in the sticks shooting things for food when he was young, and was in the army, is/was a redneck, is no dummy when it comes to fire arms, and he calls pretty much any auto-loading gun an 'automatic'. Back when he was young, sometime in the stone age, some guns were marketed as auto-loaders. It doesn't necessarily mean ignorance to refer to them as such. Just saying.
