DC: Republican Gov. Charlie Baker signed a bill on Tuesday allowing for temporary gun confiscation without any due process in Massachusetts.
Bill H4670 enables a family or household member, which includes roommates, relatives or significant others, to remove firearms, firearm identification cards and ammunition from any individual deemed to be a danger to oneself or others.
Surrendered goods can be confiscated for up to one year, with the ability to renew the order, but an individual can try to appeal the ruling.
Baker defended the so-called ‘red flag law’ over twitter calling it a “model for the nation.” more here
If their was even another reason needed to get the hell out of Taxachusetts, this is it. Of course it won’t do a damn thing about the mentally ill democrats who go postal, just affect the law abiding citizens.
If a person is a huge threat to the public, why not just lock them up in the first place? I mean, if you want to go all totalitarian an all….
More abuse of the pfa system coming your way.
Never mind those two silly little things, due process and the Second Amendment. And just as we celebrate our independence. The irony.
Is it Snitch On Mommy, Daddy and Family Member Day in Massof2shits already?
I see alot of room for abuse
of this law.Piece by little piece
they are coming for every last one…
HAPPY 4th Y’All ! Rain here=burn meat under car port.
New Jersey is seeing Massof2shits (thanks Corona!) and raising it to include ANYONE can denounce a gun owner if suspected of being a Conserv–er I mean a threat to others.
I see Massof2shits morphing into Massivedumbshits with this “law”
When I was a Mass-hole, I used to say that we had pretty good seafood and really, really bad politics. The Kennedy’s, Mike Dukakis, Mitt Romney, Lizzie Warren to name a few. I self deported in ’90 and have never been happier. F*ck MA!

Surrendered? Really? Someone takes something from someone else and NOW it is claimed to be surrendered?
Try taking away some maggot’s ‘benefits’ telling them they are ‘surrendering’ them and see how long it takes for them to go whining to the courts to get them back. or worse yet beating you senseless.
Give “Massof2shits” back to England……….they are both going downhill fast anyhow. They have to take the state with them… would make a nice bay there anyway….. after all…. the sun has “set on the skittish empire….muzzies and all!!
So basically, in Massachusetts, anyone can take away your gun for any reason. Didn’t they take the same approach to witches?
Not to worry. Men who’ve sworn oaths, to keep their oath, have sworn there’ll be no more free Wacos. And that’s the truth.
(cue Edith Ann raspberry)
This is becoming common in Blue States. Already here in Oregon and I believe. California. Part of Bloomberg’s big money campaign. Trying to get it revoked via ballot initiative. Failing that, a nice addendum would be massive fines and imprisonment for filing a false claim.
You could just have camps for Red Flagged individuals where they can be re-educated or, if they are recalcitrant; euthanized.
Since there is no way to bury them all, crematoriums should be employed.
And since they are verified enemies of the State, all their stuff are belong to us.
It’s not really a model for the nation, since the voters in Washington enacted a similar law with as little regard for due process via initiative in 2016.
Comrade Stalin approves of this message.
ERPO means “confiscation.” What they don’t know you have, they can’t confiscate when a comrade denounces you.
As Iv said many times the last 30 years. Lots of GOP are progressive. The majority of the Flag rank have been leftists since 1990. GWB is/was not the only liberal GOP “leader” ; prog of what I just said!
Treason.
Hang em’.
It’s not a model; it’s a horrible example.
Hard to believe the revolution started here, over gun confiscation of all things.
