DOCUMENTED Red Flag Law Abuse in NJ

[sarc]Gee, how could this happen? Did NOBODY see this coming???? Hasn't the left repeatedly assured everyone that commonsense red flag laws could never, ever be abused in this way????[/sarc]

The gun seizure comes as part of a heated court case between Alfred Conti and his former physician, Dr. Matthew Kaufman. The defamation lawsuit revolves around negative reviews left by Conti. Months after the suit was opened, police stripped Conti of firearms and ammunition on Sept. 25. The firearm seizure was put into action thanks to a red flag complaint made by Kaufman and his lawyer, the Asbury Park Press has reported the following....

So, let's recap.....a man and his physician get into a dispute over a negative review left online.
Conti’s error appears to be in mentioning he knew where both Kaufman and the doctor’s lawyer lived in one of the calls.

However, both sides agreed that it doesn’t appear any threat was made.

Conti, 56, of Middletown, has said Kaufman performed surgery on his neck, but he remained in pain. Eventually, he was dismissed from the practice because, Maggs said, he became aggressive with the staff.

Conti went online to write negative reviews about the doctor. Kaufman and the Plastic Surgery Center sued him for defamation in July.

Now the attorney for Dr. Kaufman, James Maggs, states he "felt threatened" by a phone call from Conti, and called the popo to take Conti's guns.....I cal this a HUGE PILE OF BULL****. Maggs maliciously feigned pearl clutching so he could hurt Conti MONTHS after said incident.

"A disgruntled student posting plans to walk into his university and massacre as many people as possible might be the scenario these red flag laws are billed as preventing, but in reality, it’s often innocent people who suffer under these regulations."

Sort of like all gun laws

No, THIS is the control the left wants to have over us......

And that is insane. There must be some big plans in the works.

“I know where you live” is a threat and a stupid thing to say and grounds for a restraining order in many courts.

I know where you live, work, buy gas, buy groceries, go to the movies, local restaurant you like, ad nauseum.

This is working EXACTLY how the libtards want it to work. ANY fricking excuse, real or imagined, to separate you from your weapons without due process and any other legal protections.

Guilty until proven innocent.
