DC: Seattle police have lawfully confiscated 27 firearms from residents since July 2017 thanks to the help of a new “Extreme Risk Protection Order.”
Washington is one of six states (California, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Oregon) with red flag laws. 18 other states, and the District of Columbia, have proposed adopting similar measures in the wake of the Parkland shooting.
Fox News highlighted the story of Alexander Mckenzie, a 31-year-old Army veteran whose firearm was lawfully confiscated after people complained about him glaring at other patrons of a local pizza parlor.
Mckenzie has been treated for PTSD and reportedly “agrees” with the decision to take his weapon. He is one of 16 Seattle residents police have seized guns from since the order was enacted. read more

Off topic:
When I go to type a comment and fill in my screen name and email address, it is pre-filled in with another IOTW commenter’s screen name and email address. 😳🤔 Is this happening to anyone else? So far, it has been “RickeyG” and “Major Malfunction”.
Off topic but I went to a meeting earlier and when I got back I could not open IOTW. Google warning it was not a secure site. Even tried the history tabs and still could not open. Then poof! It opened after a time. Whew!

That “Red Flag” law sure worked well in Florida, didn’t it?
Eighteen states are about to pass a Red Flag law like the one which Florida has, and which worked so well at Patkland. Maybe if Nikolas Cruz had enlisted….
Florida has a “Red Flag” law? Who knew? Certainly not the Broward Cowards.

Rickey G, I thought my comment wasn’t posting, and your screen name was in where mine should have been. Weird. I’ve been out all day, too, and things were hinky when I got back. I restarted my phone and everything was posted when I went to this thread
I’m not trying to hijack you, RickeyG, I swear lol
Can’t comment on some of the posts. Testing – one, two three…
Vietvet, there’s some tweaking going back stage. That’s probably why.
OK, I had to check to make sure I wrote tweaking and not twerking.
Hellooooo…?!?
Weapon lost for glaring at people inI Shitattle. I never walked that shit hole unarmed, ever. Fuck them.
