"A decorated retired New York cop who served in the U.S. Navy is challenging New York’s tough new SAFE Act gun control law, claiming in a lawsuit that his guns were confiscated after he was mistakenly diagnosed as mentally unstable after he sought treatment for a sleeping problem."
"Donald Montgomery’s lawsuit contends that Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other state officials violated his Second Amendment rights when his guns were seized after a brief hospital stay for insomnia. Montgomery, a cop for 30 years and a U.S. Navy veteran, brought the lawsuit in Rochester Federal Court on Dec. 17, according to the Daily Caller." ... |

A textbook example of what all critics of the SAFE Act predicted will happen. Faceless bureaucrats, secure in luxurious offices, have impugned the character and accomplishments of a veteran of military and NYPD service. Obviously careless of the consequences of their actions. Indifferent to their effects. And, apparently, leaving their "victim" without recourse. And now defenseless, prey to any criminal harboring a grudge against him.
And we can be certain all of these political perpetrators will never acknowledge the harm they have done. Nor the harm they will continue to inflict upon the honest, the law-abiding, and the guiltless. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
