There was a warrant that a judge approved and thus due process. We keep hearing that these shooters are mentally unstable and that’s the problem. So we try to keep weapons out of the hands of people identified as having mental issues. Well bloody heck, the gun lobby is so scared they are going to loose their guns we can’t do that either without them crying in their Cheerios. What exactly can we do to deal with this problem other than everyone preparing to shoot it out?

If you'll notice the link has a reference to Tyler Durden, a character from "Fight Club." The source website shtf.com usually has a spark of truth surrounded by a whole lotta smoke and mirrors. The KOMO news report has a little more detail and balance. There was in fact a warrant and a weapons seizure order issued by a judge. The seizure automatically expires after one year unless Law enforcement or a prosecuting attorney's office request a continuation.
Was the seizure justified? I don't know. Is there, in general, plenty of room for abuse of the Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO)? You betcha. But if KOMO news is accurate, it may have been a good seizure in this case.

MAJ James Woods - As long as due process is done to take the firearms, I'm in favor of intervention until things are cleared up. You can't just take someone's possessions because someone gets nervous though.

Maj John Bell - Nor did I say you or TSgt David L. say or indicate so. I gave my opinion based on the information provided. Stop assuming every comment is a personal attack.

MAJ James Woods - The use of "Well" at the beginning of a written sentence is a literary term called a "Polite threat mitigator" it indicates disagreement with the previous assertions.

MAJ James Woods
Maj John Bell - Well look at that. I learned something new. To think all this time when I use "well" as I did in actual conversation, English Lit majors can say I'm being politely confrontational. And to think I'm used to writing in the same manner that I would speak.
Don't read too much into it. Wasn't personal. You know my comments; I have no problem being blunt and make it clear if I disagree with something. I don't need "polite threat mitigators".
