Former Marine Has Guns Seized under Oregon’s Red Flag Law, Was Not Charged with a Crime

A former Marine had his guns seized by local police acting under the authority of Oregon’s red flag gun confiscation law for allegedly threatening local Antifa organizers during a demonstration against the state’s response to left-wing violence at recent protests.
Shane Kohfield, a supporter of President Trump, reportedly said, “If Antifa gets to the point where they start killing us, I'm going to kill them next. I'd slaughter them and I have a detailed plan on how I would wipe out Antifa.”
Kohfield admitted to The Oregonian that he probably looked intimidating to some, but never intended to cause harm. He was dressed in a Kevlar jacket with a hunting knife strapped to one shoulder and a copy of his concealed carry permit on the other. His infamous “Make America Great Again” hat made him stick out at the event.
“I looked unhinged,” he told the newspaper. “I looked dangerous and have the training to be dangerous.”
Within days, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force assisted local law enforcement as they forced Kohfield to surrender his AR-15, a handgun, rife, and shotgun. Kohfield was also admitted to a veteran’s hospital to undergo psychological evaluations. He was released days later and has still not been charged with a crime.
After Kohfield’s arrest, a former FBI agent congratulated his comrades on social media by characterizing the arrest as evidence that pro-active gun confiscation laws work to reduce crime. But most gun owners see it as law enforcement selectively applying laws to disarm citizens who are exercising their Constitutional rights.
“The feds, who refuse to prosecute deep state cretins like James Comey but devote excessive resources to profiling and demonizing gun owners, are patting themselves on the back for targeting this veteran with pre-crime measures,” Shane Trejo, a contributor for BigLeaguePolitics, wrote in an article about Kohfield’s arrest.

His first mistake was thinking that he has free speech. Because in Post Civil Rights America you don't have those rights. In fact if you ever speak out, speak your mind or speak the fucking truth, it can and will be used against you. Antifa is running Portland. They will likely soon be running every major town they have a foothold in. We have the little communist red star wearing assholes here in the twin cities.
You have no rights. You have privileges. Those privileges will be taken from you if you offend someone else whose privileges are more important than yours. This is the Amerika that the socialist democratic party wants. The National Socialist Democratic Party. Is it starting to sound familiar? It fucking should.
