Red flag law snags up guns

In Florida, 467 people have had their guns taken because of a new law that allows police to take guns from those who are deemed dangerous. I found this bit interesting:

“I think were doing this because it makes us feel safer, said attorney Kendra Parris, critical of the new law. Whats wrong with that, asked reporter Katie LaGrone. It violates the constitution, Parris said.

She believes after four-and-a-half months, Floridas version of the red flag law as its also known is starting to reveal some disturbing grey areas, specifically among individuals who don’t have histories of violence or mental illness.

These are individuals who are often exercising their first amendment rights online, who are protecting constitutionally protected speech online, she said. Maybe it was odious, maybe people didnt like it but they were hit with the risk protection order because of it.

Good for the attorney. This law is being abused.

More 3D printed gun stuff

3-D Printed Gun Derangement Syndrome is real and the lies those opposed to it tell is not surprising.

Defense Distributed is the target of a cease and desist effort by eight states. The head of the firm says that he’s being sued by 21 Attorneys General.

Democrats are proposing bans and Trump seems to be on board.

Well, this strikes me as unnecessary.

Speaking of 3D printing

Defense Distributed won against the .gov and can distribute their plans. As a result, the Attorney General of New Jersey sent the company a threatening letter. So, Defense Distributed is suing them and LA. Read it all.

Another oddity of current gun laws

ATF has determined that bolt action .50 caliber upper receivers for AR-15s are firearms. Technically, I don’t think they are wrong.

But 3D printing will lead to blood in the streets

Of course: ARFCOM USER MAKES WOODEN AK

Rule four

This is very odd:

A Pennsylvania man was convicted on all charges in the death of his 12-year-old daughter, who was shot by a constable serving eviction papers with a bullet that went through her fathers arm.

Perry county authorities said that in January 2016 Donald Meyer Jr, 60, pointed a loaded rifle at the constable. The officer fired and the bullet wounded Meyer but killed Ciara Meyer, who was standing behind him.

I don’t see a case for charging the man but there’s probably some law about something happening during the commission of a crime. And the police officer is responsible for the rounds that come out of his gun. Well, he would be if he wasn’t a police officer.

Quote of the day

All of gun control:

The goal isnt really to stop crime. Its to stop you you flyover rube.

This may be a big deal

The most busted name in news

CNN should really be careful with nonsense like this or it will get someone killed: What you need to know about ‘stand your ground’ laws

Quite a few whoppers in there, such as:

Generally, “stand your ground” laws allow people to respond to threats or force without fear of criminal prosecution.

No, they don’t. Then this:

Most self-defense laws state that a person under threat of physical injury has a “duty to retreat.” If after retreating the threat continues, the person may respond with force.

I assume they meant states because that is not worded well. But it’s followed by:

While most states provide some form of legal protection in cases of self-defense, 25 have enacted “stand your ground” laws

Ugh. Don’t take legal advice from CNN. Or me for that matter.

A civil rights victory

Reuters:

A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that the U.S. Constitutions Second Amendment protects the right to openly carry a gun in public for self-defense, rejecting a claim by Hawaii officials that the right only applies to guns kept at home.

The ruling by a three-judge panel on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, makes the San Francisco-based court the sixth U.S. circuit court to interpret the Second Amendment this way and could set the issue on a path toward the U.S. Supreme Court, which has not taken up a major gun rights case since 2010.

Yes, it’s the ninth circuit and not the full court. I don’t expect it to last. Small victories, though.

That’s a interesting analysis

Not helping

This guy’s an NRA Board Member: Pro-gun rocker Ted Nugent turns away firearms from his Roanoke show

Possible or vaporware?

The Army’s Next Generation Squad Automatic Rifle looks to do it all:

The aim is for the NGSARs to fire bullets at pressure levels similar to those achieved by tanks when they fire. Rounds will smash through advanced adversary body armor even at a distance, allowing soldiers to accurately shoot while maintaining a safe distance from the threat whenever possible.

The Army would like the new weapon chamber pressure to be between 60 and 80 KSI (kilopound per square inch). To put that into context, the Armys M1 Abrams main battle tank fires at that chamber pressure. Assault rifles tend to be around 45 KSI, so this will definitely be higher.

The ACLU: A Pro-Liberty Case for Gun Restrictions

In a nutshell, school shootings have lead to increased searches, more surveillance, and other things that infringe on liberty. If we had gun control, those would go away.

Except, you know, they will not go away no matter the gun control. The various Wars on Nouns would be the justification.
