He won’t be a law abiding plaintiff in a lawsuit, but I would also be interested in what was alleged against him in the Red Flag order.

Nice looking AK though. Wonder what will happen to it,- destruction, or will it end up in some LEO’s private collection? The handgun looks like it might be a P80 perhaps? Shotgun shells but no shotgun? And what’s with the mask? Amish Halloween mask, or ANC colors? Hockey mask? Not sure what the numbers stand for on it.

That's not a P80, it's a Sig. Who knows though if it's a Mup1 Sig.

Can’t be. Only white supremacist do bad things.

I know this is sarcasm. I get it, but this is a serious threat. I know this guy, he has a long history with the Police and he has much hate in his heart. I am not a fan of Red Flag laws. This arrest could have occurred without using this term. This is not what the Red Flag laws were meant when passed. This is a scum bag felon. He has been arrested and convicted prior for firearm possession. He is garbage, hopefully they will keep this vermin behind bars for longer than the last times.

"Brown has four previous felonies and 13 previous convictions, according to Buffalo Police."
Yeah he's a piece a shit but that doesn't make the Red flag right.

He has been arrested in one form or another, 37 times since 1991

who is his FFL ??

 

[Acer-m14]

"BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Buffalo man was arrested Saturday for gun possession, after someone reported their concerns about him to police."

who was the someone .. for the RED FLAG ??

"Concerning remarks"....that is an issue as anyone can say anything and what are the consequences for giving false information. Now I would assume the previous past record contributed to the process but what about a 2nd or 3rd party expressing the same thoughts to confirm. Does a traffic or parking ticket make a person more vulnerable to one person's "concerning remarks" ? Would a Judge issue a search warrant on "concerning remarks" alone?

 

[Rocpo]

Maybe its the fact that he's a felon in possession... instead of your strawman

I don't have a "strawman"....whatever that is

 

[GOPerfect]

This is NOT a Red Flag arrest/confiscation. They are only using these words for the sake of the elected class.

This is a Felon in possession of firearms that he is not authorized to have. It is that simple. These people in the inner city turn on each other quicker than most turn their cooking pancakes.

 

[repete]

Makes wonder why he's even still alive let alone walking the streets, he's made it very clear that he doesn't respect other people's rights or the law.

So many have no idea about these people. There are people in the Buffalo area that have been locked up more than 150 times. Revolving doors.

Yeah, that's the messed up things about violations of our rights... they can feel pretty good when applied against the people they were presumably intended for.

Put a normal, law-abiding citizen in the place of this guy, though, and that story becomes chilling af, as the kids would say. This is basically sanction SWAT-ing. Anyone can say you said something threatening. Used to be, this might merit a visit from and conversation with a police officer. Now it's a fucking SWAT raid? Things have gone way too far.

Agreed.

So great work again by the criminal Justice system. In a few years he will kill people and the media will post nothing but how guns are bad and the usually shit of course excluding how he should have been locked up for life prior to killing people.

Add in the marked increase and put “leaders” praising red flags along with the media glorifying them and it’s a recipe for disaster.
I agree this guy should not have had a gun, but history repeats itself so if he’s not jailed he will get a firearm. So what will they do? I’m sure he’s out on bail before this article was even published.

The Red Flag law BS is Unconstitutional, - and is only getting worse. Before Red Flag laws became actual laws, I was "red flagged" back around 2014. My ex wife's boyfriend at the time had threatened to kill me on multiple occasions. I ignored it for a while, and then finally began documenting it with the local PD. He was so brazen, that he actually boasted about threatening me to the cops, - I have multiple official police reports where they spoke to him and he admitted threatening to kill me. Of course, even with that they failed to arrest him.

One day, he and the ex text me to say that they are coming to my home to argue about money. I immediately texted them back to stay away. They showed up anyway. While carrying concealed and without ever brandishing, or even acknowledging that I was carrying, and never leaving my own property, I convinced him to get back in his car and stay off my property simply by using a judicious amount of profanity. And of course, 911 was called.

Cops came, disarmed me during the call, sent them on their way (but did not arrest him!), then gave me my gun back in pieces, along with my spare magazines, and left. A few days later, I went to the PD and got a copy of the report for my own record. I figured that was the end of it, but I was wrong.

Six months later I get a letter from the PPO telling me that I have been arrested (I hadn't,- the closest I had been to a cop was standing in line at Tim Horton's), and to immediately turn in my handguns and my permit. I would need to hire a lawyer, and go to NY Supreme Court to get them back. When I finally got into court, I found out that my PD Chief of Police (now removed) had secretly written a letter to the PPO on PD letterhead (which he denied writing, and refused to provide to me) wherein he demanded that my CCW be revoked or suspended BECAUSE he didn't like the fact that I (A) used profanity to keep the asshole away from me, and (B) because I had the nerve to carry ammunition for my legal firearm! All while on my own property! He said that he didn't like my attitude.

At my hearing before the judge, I defended my actions without any preparation, and without being allowed to even see his letter, although I eventually obtained a copy through other means. The judge IMMEDIATELY reinstated my suspended permit, and ordered my guns to be returned to me. But between the deliberate delays from the PPO, and my local PD, it still took me an additional 3 months to get my firearms back.

I had enough other reasons to want to leave NYS (the economy, - NOT the winter weather), but how NY treated me was the icing on the cake that led me to consider moving to NC. I will always miss my lifetime home, but there is no reversing my decision. My principal regret is being away from my children and friends.

Red Flag laws trample on our constitutionally protected due process rights, and most if not all of them have few if any consequences for those who make false and unwarranted accusations. They need to be struck down.

this is the part that should worry everyone:

Police then filed an Extreme Risk Protection Order under the state's Red Flag Law, in order to conduct a search.

Is it possible the police just used the RFL as a excuse to nail a bad guy?? Was there really a complaint, or is that an excuse to use the RFL

Firearm possession?

Ok, what *real* crimes has he committed?

Sounds like they've got a nice quiet way around the 4th amendment. Now they can do their stop-and-frisk, but they ALSO can just walk into any property they want with no repercussions.


Wonder what will happen the first time someone unloads on them...
