Red Flag and Facebook.

I had a friend reported to the CBI for his posts debating an anti gunner to the Governors office and CBI. The snowflake saw a post he had shared and reported it as an immediate threat. CBI called him to discuss and he wouldn't cough anything up until the CBI officer said he had seen the post elsewhere and said he only called to let him know he was being investigated and that the case was closed. His former boss and wife were called.

So simple lesson, make your FB posts and info only visible to close friends. I'm sure you all do. But the left wing wackos are testing the new red flag law out.

But do not be afraid to exercise your 1st ammendment rights and verbally slaughter the left with facts.

Unfortunately, we will be seeing more and more of this.

Anyone posting anywhere online under their real name is a fool. I don't care what Facebooks rules are, I had to set up an account to admin the FB page of the company I used to work for, so I did it under a fake name.

Stop using your real name anywhere online and do what you can to isolate your real name from the names you use to post on forums and etc.

Its just good opsec (that should be a tshirt).

No, be very afraid to exercise your 1st Amendment rights if you wish to keep your 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th or 8th amendment rights.

Speak your mind but never do it with your actual name. Time to become Silence Dogood, Publius, Federal Farmer, Brutus, John DeWitt, Cato and Pennsylvania Minority. It worked for the founding fathers (kept them from swinging from British ropes) it'll have to work for us.

Truth is the 1st amendment is effectively dead (and the rest of the constitution with it). Keep on fighting, but don't expect the fact that you used to have rights under the now dead US Constitution protect you from destruction from the left. You can keep fighting but it has to be a covert war. There's a reason Antifa assholes wear black hoodies and bandannas.

Just what exactly do you think the entire purpose of Red Flag and TAPS are?

So simple lesson, delete your Facebook and/or never use it

Very well. The CBI wouldn't say who since threat was found to be not credible and the case was closed.

I have no problem using my real name on FB. It's been locked down since day one. The CBI can shove it.

Social media can't be used against you if you don't use it.

Most of the time it's the google searches that get you. Social media makes everyone groan, the pictures of your meal isn't too likely to be used.

Slightly exaggerated, but that shit happens all the time. Get someone's search history and you could make them appear guilty of killing JFK to any jury if need be.

Colorado's Red Flag law doesn't apply to random people, right? Aren't the only people that are legally allowed to report someone as a red flag to facilitate a court ordered confiscation family, roommates, etc?

There is a specific list of people that can petition the court for an ERPO. However anyone can make a report to the police who then can petition the court for an ERPO.

I would like to see the content of the message that someone flagged as an immediate threat

Good PSA.

I don't do anything under my real name but I could easily be found by LE just via IP. I've looked into VPN but for work I can't necessarily use it on all jobs.

I also don't post any threatening messages to Libs (or anyone else). I'm very careful to point to consequences as being general for this reason. But I imagine it can get to the point that simple posting gun pics, or identifying as a gun owner, could generate a contact/investigation.

Read several stories of a kid going shooting with dad, posting pics, and getting investigated/punished at school. Meanwhile, the nutter with the rape/kill list is just fine.

The same can happen with this site frankly. Just because it's a private venue doesn't mean someone couldn't find it and report.

At what point do gun owners go dark?

Stuff like this is basically why I don't use Facebook much anymore.

And for those of you who think you're safe because you locked down your account, you are not. There are plenty of ways to get around those filters, and in some cases even people within organizations like Twitter and Facebook have leaked what should have been private information/messages in order to support a political cause.

It was this:

Well that’s just foolishness. It takes a pretty dense person to not see the idiocy of such a comment in today’s world.

I have Facebook, I don't post anything on it, mainly to see posts from friends and family, pretty sad I silence my first amendment rights in order to preserve my second, it's supposed to be the other way around, add to that, I'm just not willing to debate with certain folks.

Being that red flag allows for anonymous, "free" complaints, I'm not sure that it matters much who reports it or what their association to you actually is. All they have to do is claim to be your cousin, teacher, or neighbor, how are you going to disprove it when they won't identify or let you face your accuser.

If anyone but Trump wins in 2020 is when gun owners go dark. Biden has clearly said he’s going after a ban on “assault weapons”. Wants them out of the public’s hands. Said he will implement a buy back program.
