Broomfield Cub Scout kicked out after asking Republican state senator hard questions

Actually, it is pretty standard in every Colorado court that someone charged with any type of domestic violence is required to not possess a firearm. This condition is almost universally applied as a part of someone's release pending judicial action. I've even seen some bizarre and less than clever work around for accused who happen to need a firearm as part of their regular duties but that is a different discussion.

Bottom line, if things look bad, walk away. Avoid the possibility that you may be charged with a crime. Have as many friendly witnesses as possible, and create a plan to divest yourself of firearms in the event of a life changing event.

Be safe.

As always, great advice!

I was speaking from a moral perspective why I would oppose that legislation and explain it to the Scout. Even though trolling, our leaders should be able to articulate a position and answer questions. No need to shut him up. Embarrass the parents with a great answer.

Reminding them that sometimes a husband is the victim, thus not wanting to disarm the wife either, and scolding them for their sexism would be icing. “Would we want the wife to a victim if the husband retailiated?”

ETA: Gen Z is up for grabs ideologically. That Scout might have grown up to see how petty and wrong his Lib parents were and fair the Conservstive was to him, even though trolling. Now it’s backwards. He’s a victim of injustice at the hands of Conservatives (or so he’ll think).
