A retired Keene police officer is leading the charge on a so-called “red-flag” bill in the state that would make it easier for law enforcement to seize the firearms of someone determined to constitute a threat.

During the past several months, John F. Stewart has been putting together the framework for a bill that would allow courts to issue an order for law enforcement agencies to temporarily confiscate the weapons of someone deemed to pose a risk to themselves or others.

Stewart, who lives in Keene, worked for the city’s police department for 22 years before retiring as an officer in 2014. ...

"He said he felt a sense of urgency to get involved in gun-control efforts after the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, in which a gunman killed 17 people."

seems the many failures of law enforcement had nothing at all to do with this incident. It has to be the guns, right... So we need more gun control and not criminal prosecutions of inept law enforcement agencies, politicians and school officials...

HUH? I thought the thing was ,DO YOUR F***'n JOB, go in the building and neutralize the threat instead of directing traffic.

Keene is becoming the punchline to a joke, like Brookline or Cambridge.

He should be afraid to leave his house.

Statists gonna state.

Punishing the law abiding for their own failures. POS.

Isn't "statist" a synonym for "retard"??

 

[Sprocket]

He needs a red flag called on him - you know, to test the system...

 

[Racenet]

He can.....

 

[DadaOrwell]

seems like you can't walk across the hall in the state house without tripping over some policy enforcement officer who's there on your dime to lobby against your freedom.

maybe in this case my dime is only his pension but I'm still pissed.

They keep drawing lines between themselves and "the people". Eventually, they will wind up wondering what happened.
