Big Sis Coordinating Gun Confiscations

The Department of Homeland Security is collaborating
with New York State government officials to confiscate guns belonging to
people who are deemed, often erroneously, to have a mental condition,
according to radio host Tom Bauerle.

“NY State Talk Radio Host Tom Bauerle discussed on his
program that several sources inside NY State Govt have told him that the
Dept of Homeland Security played an active role in meeting and
collaborating with NY State Officials to develop and implement the
confiscation scheme that targeted David Lewis and an as yet unknown
number of others,” reports Ammoland.com.
Bauerle is a daily host on WBEN, based in Buffalo, New York.
Back in March it also emerged that the DHS was working with the Department of Revenue to collect information on gun owners in Missouri.
The fact that the DHS is coordinating with state
government officials on gun confiscations is particularly unnerving
given recent developments.
As we reported last week, the
federal agency is testing a number of different drones at a scientific
research facility in Oklahoma that have sensors capable of detecting
whether a person is armed, stoking concerns that the federal agency is
planning on using UAVs to harass gun owners.
The DHS has committed to purchasing more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition over the course of the last year, along with thousands of armored vehicles. While Americans are having their gun rights eviscerated, the government is seemingly arming itself to the teeth.
Under the NY SAFE Act, anyone considered as having a
mental condition can have their firearms seized by police and their
Second Amendment rights suspended. The law encourages therapists,
doctors, nurses and social workers to report patients they determine may
engage in conduct that may result in harm to self or others.
Last week, State police in Erie County, New York admitted they had wrongly confiscated the guns of
35-year-old college librarian David Lewis, who was prescribed
anti-anxiety medication by his doctor yet was targeted after being
falsely labeled as having a mental condition that could lead to
violence.
Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs admitted that police
called him to clarify that they had wrongly enforced a pistol permit
suspension on Lewis, highlighting the fundamental flaws in the newly
passed law.
“I think that first and foremost, it stems from a flawed
law that was passed so quickly without forethought on how something
would be implemented,” said Jacobs, adding, “Until the mental health
provisions are fixed, these mistakes will continue to happen.”
Lewis is now taking legal action, with his attorneys
noting that protections should have been in force under The Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Privacy Rule, which
establishes national standards to protect individuals’ medical records
and other personal health information, according to the Department of
Health and Human Services.
As we also highlighted recently, numerous
veterans are being forced to undergo “psychiatric evaluations” before
having their guns confiscated, in another example of how the Veterans
Administration is accelerating a purge of armed ex-servicemembers in
accordance with a federal government demonization campaign that has
labeled vets domestic terrorists.
The NY Safe act is just one stepping stone to total
firearms confiscation, an end goal that gun control advocates have
openly admitted.
As we reported last week, Democratic Austin City Council member and potential next mayor Mike Martinez admitted during a speech last weekend that the Obama administration’s long term gun control agenda is focused on banning firearms altogether.
