39 & 2,000 rounds I don't remember just when I passed that point in my Collecting but it was many years ago. If course, I'm not thinking about doing myself in. It doesn't say who determined that - maybe a family member who wants his "Massive" Collection???

Without guns - Suicide is unpossible.

Maybe by "suicidal" they meant he was critizising the clintons?

Philadelphia police seize massive arsenal of weapons from suicidal man's home

The man, who has been hospitalized, had at least 39 guns, multiple grenades and more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition, according to police.

This is how REDFLAG laws work,



"...was reported to police by his son who feared for his father's wellbeing and told officers that there were firearms inside the home ..."
"did not believe him to be a threat to anyone but himself. "
"They seem to be very nice people." " they will be destroyed and melted down after a certain period "
"As of right now we don't have any crimes committed but the investigation will take some time,"


No mention if the victim can petition to get his guns back, or if they would be returned by the police.

Why ‘red flag’ laws are more dangerous than you think

This month’s shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have politicians once again demanding the ability to violate our constitutional rights.

...
His family has the right to petition for the weapons, which have been put into storage. If not, or if the police deem the weapons unsafe, they will be destroyed and melted down after a certain period of time.

"I don't think they're going to be trying to get the weapons back," Rosenbaum said. "I've talked to the family today as of an hour ago and they just don't want them to wind up in the wrong hands. They seem to be very nice people."

Even if these were worth on average only $500, that's $20,000 the family is willing to throw away. THAT is objectively crazy. And can you imagine being the old guy -- 72, twilight of his life, and now all the stuff he's been collecting is gone and worse, he's locked in some cell in a psych ward with none of his comforts and joys, all because his own family members are nucking futs.

Nay, he would have popped himself with a double tap to the back of the head if he had anything on the Klintons...

Lesson: When you're elderly, and medical problems abound, and fixed income sucks, and you cannot do many of your physical hobbies, and get no lovin, and politics leave you disgusted, and the current culture is sickening/disgraceful, and "they" want to turn your beloved country into a socialist sch!thole....................................................................................... For gosh sakes don't tell anybody how you feel, you could be thought to be suicidal.

The wife and I often say we are glad we won't be around much longer, or around to see what will happen.... I guess we're at risk for gun confiscation eh?

Veterans will be the first ones to be disarmed anyway.... remember when we were deemed to be a danger to society? Remember when Obama wanted to take the guns of veterans that needed help doing their finances?

Just remember folks you gotta pay your docs prescription (around 3k) for official government approval to check out. If you try to go out on your own terms you will be arrested and your property seized.

Kill me right there, nothing more to live for eh? Family turned would be the worst.

I guess i am a bit odd as i do not see it wrong if an individual wants to take thier own life up to rhe point where it harms others then it becomes against the law
I had no say coming into this world and i ami am not anxious to leave any time soon. I figure when its time has came i sbould haxe a say in how i leave.

JR,

Re-read your original post.

It has a certain ' joie de vivre' reminiscent of drunk posting...not at all a bad thing...so forgive me please for pointing it out...Irish coffee I'm thinking...which is a good thing.

I agree and my pick is to be f*cked to death,
but dying in my sleep is running a close second
