COPS KILL MARYLAND CITIZEN DURING GUN CONFISCATION ACTION

by Bob Walsh

A relative requested an "emergency risk protection order" against Gary J. Willis, 60. It was granted, as they pretty much always are, with pretty much zero review. This is one of those things where you loose your rights up front and petition the courts later for redress.

The cops knocked on his door at 0500. He answered the door with a gun in his hand. (As would I.) He put the gun down when he realized there were cops at the door. So far, so good.

The cops announced they were there to seize his guns. He didn't like that. He then picked his gun back up. One cop wrestled with the 60-year old man. The gun discharged, striking no one. Then another cop gunned Willis down.

Mr. Willis' niece offered the opinion that the protection order request was family drama and that Willis was in no way a danger to himself or others. He cops have so far not released the name of the person who requested the order or what basis was used for the request.

Where was the due process? This man died defending his 2nd amendment rights. So in Maryland if some ass-hat has a beef with you all they have to do is report state you need to be served with an emergency risk protection order. This is so wrong at all levels. Not to mention the lives of the cops that are put in danger.

Fully agree with Trey. That was a no win situation, for Mr Willis and for responding officers. I hope which ever one of his relatives that called it in is happy.

That is also true now in California. I believe it is also true in several other states. In fact there has been an attempt in CA (vetoed by Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom would have approved it, he hates gun owners) to WIDEN the circle of people who can legally request this action to include pretty much anybody who has ever met you anytime in your life.
