Chief Tango sends us a link to the Washington Post<\/a> which struggles to make their case for allowing police to seize firearms when they serve someone with a protective order. They use Thursday’s mass shooting in Kansas, where three people were killed and 14 other were wounded when a gun man went on a spree in Newton ninety minutes after Harvey County Sheriff\u2019s deputies served him with a protective order from a neighboring county. The shooter was a felon;<\/p>\n

Investigators were initially unsure how Ford obtained the weapons, given his criminal record in Kansas as well as Florida; as a convicted felon, he could not possess guns.<\/p>\n

On Friday, federal authorities filed a criminal charge against Sarah T. Hopkins, 28, of Newton, Kan., alleging that she transferred the guns to Ford last year despite knowing he was a convicted felon.<\/p>\n

She bought the Glock semi-automatic handgun and the Zastava Serbia, AK-47-type semi-automatic rifle that Ford had when he was killed, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said in an affidavit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m thinking that a sheriff’s deputy wouldn’t even think there was a firearm because the subject was a felon. I doubt that a felon would admit to a deputy that he had a firearm. Why wouldn’t a felon lie, anyway, he had illegally taken possession of a firearm and he intended to murder a bunch of people, so he was already in violation of several laws, so why not lie to a police officer, too, while he’s at it.<\/p>\n

The shootings ended Thursday when a lone police officer entered the lawnmower parts factory where the shooter was plying his skills and killed the bad guy. The shooter was in violation of a number of gun control laws designed to keep him from arming himself, not the least of which was the murder of three innocent people. One more gun law wouldn’t have prevented the shooting.<\/p>\n

While seizing weapons upon the service of a protective order in domestic abuse circumstances makes sense, this is the wrong case to use as an example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
