After the first law abiding citizen is gunned down or forcefully disarmed by the police in Washington state serving an "Extreme Risk Protection Order", the case will become a federal issue. The case will obviously hit the Supreme Court and make national news and become a national issue. I am thinking with a Republican Congress and hopefully a true to his word Republican leader, what will happen is the state of Washington will end up being sued and forced to compensate the damages they have done and the law will be repealed.
I'm sorry to say this, but, I, myself and many others here probably would refuse to give my guns to the police based on an "Extreme Risk Protection Order". Knowing how strong the right-wing element is in many parts of Washington, they are going to have to take them by force without a doubt. It is almost ludicrous that any state can pass a "Gun Confiscation" law and I am hoping it backfires so heavily that a federal law is passed to prosecute/fine any states that try to enact illegal , unconstitutional laws like that which circumvent Due Process and turn law abiding citizens into instant criminals based on the "opinions" of government officials and other citizens, who have no legal authority , mental health training/certifications, etc.
I fully agree that people will be killed because of this initiative, but I think it won't always be during the confiscation attempt. I beleive that the cofiscation of a law abiding gun owners firearms will be the primer that causes an otherwise peaceful person to become violent and go after any of those involved in the process: the respondant, the judge, the police, etc.......
I personally know one (former Soldier) gun owner that would possibly do that, he stated "they think I'm dangerous now, take my guns away and they will really see how dangerous I can be."
How many others are just like him and how many would support him? My guess is more than these lefties think. This could get ugly fast.
I beleive they didn't think this through, well actually, now that I think about it, bloomie doesn't care how many get killed because of his bought and paid for laws.
