We originally proposed that Sheriff’s Associations in each state help design and advocate for the legislation we are proposing. School Districts should also be running with the ball on this. But it now appears that it will take Congressional legislation with federal training programs, federal funds and immunization from legal liability for districts that choose to avail themselves of the program. There may be Constitutional objections to a federal statute that limits liability for local school districts. This is a legitimate objection and can be resolved by allowing each state to decide whether to adopt a Uniform School Protection Immunity Act. Such Uniform laws are already drafted by committees of lawyers and adopted by most states. Uniform Child Support Enforcement laws and Child Custody Jurisdiction laws are examples. States might adopt minor changes that modify the proposed uniform legislation.
Child Custody and Visitation
In Troxel v. Granville (2000), the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Washington state law that allowed grandparents to petition state courts for child visitation rights over parental objections. The Court upheld parental rights against statutory grandparent rights. The court found Meyer and Pierce controlling...
Use of Force. Use of force, on the other hand, is not even a major topic within the criminal law curriculum or on most bar exams. In all states, the laws require that there must be an imminent threat of death or serious physical harm before using deadly force. There is normally a duty to avoid using deadly force unless there are no reasonable alternatives based on all the facts known to the individual confronting a threat.
DUI/DWI
At trial, Kiener admitted that his blood alcohol was extremely high. All the evidence unequivocally corroborates this fact. Thirty minutes after arriving at the hospital, Kiener’s blood alcohol concentration was at least.25, more than three times the legal limit for DUI!
Sex Crimes
(4)…Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, if a person is prohibited from possession of a firearm under subsection (1) or (2) of this section and has not previously been convicted or found not guilty by reason of insanity of a sex offense prohibiting firearm ownership under subsection (1) or (2) of this section and/or any felony defined under any law as a class A felony or with a maximum sentence of at least twenty years, or both, the individual may petition a court of record to have his or her right to possess a firearm restored...
Robbery
Other than in self-defense —constitutes Assault in the Second Degree and could include Robbery charges, and a Firearms Enhancement. Our client told the police and the jury that he just went to the parking lot to check on his motorcycle when his neighbor approached him aggressively, demanding to know why he was carrying a shotgun in a common area.
Misdemeanors
Can an NFA gun trust protect you and your family from potential penalties imposed if you loan a “high-capacity” magazine to a co-trustee or leave a high-capacity magazine to your beneficiaries when you die? Transfer or sale of magazines holding more than ten rounds will be a gross misdemeanor with civil penalties in Washington state after July 1, 2022. Even transfers of guns designed and manufactured with an “
Drug Crimes
Mexican Drug Cartels & Hezbollah. Despite the fact that Hezbollah has not previously attacked the U.S. homeland, their massive drug manufacturing and distribution operations, conducted jointly with Mexican drug cartels, fund terrorism all over the world, including both Hamas and Hezbollah operations against Israel, Iraq and U.S. military operations in Syria and Iraq.
Assault
Despite the prohibition on owning firearms and communicating with his girlfriend, Rahimi repeatedly defied the order. It seems unlikely that SCOTUS will rule in Rahimi’s favor. Bad facts often make bad case law. May 2020, Rahimi approached the girlfriend’s house in the middle of the night. He was arrested and was charged in November 2020 with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after threatening another woman with a gun.
Murder
“...the necessity of order and discipline in an army is the only thing which can give … countenance [to martial law]; and therefore it ought not to be permitted in time of peace, when the king’s courts are open for all persons to receive justice according to the laws of the land…. And it is laid down, that if a lieutenant, or other, that hath commission of martial authority, doth in time of peace hang or otherwise execute any one by colour of martial law, this is murder; for it is against the magna carta. And the petition of right enacts, that no soldier shall be quartered on the subject without his own consent; and that no commission shall issue to proceed within this land according to martial law. And whereas, after the restoration, king Charles the second kept up about five thousand regular troops, by his own authority, for guards and garrisons; which king James the second by degrees increased to no less than thirty thousand, all paid from his own civil list; it was made one of the articles of the bill of rights, that the raising or keeping of a standing army within the kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with the consent of the parliament...
Restraining Order
For example, you may have a restraining order included in an old divorce decree. If there is a finding that you threatened or actually committed a violent act, the Restraining Order must be removed in order for your gun rights to be restored. The same advice applies if the order restrains you from violence or threats of violence. Thus, we may need to review copies of your Decree of Divorce, Findings of Fact or other documents related to any restraining orders in order to determine what needs to be done in order to restore your right to possess firearms.
Money Laundering
Terror Cells in the U.S. Homeland. There is a growing body of evidence indicating that Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy and other terror groups have already surveilled targets in the U.S. homeland and are waiting for the right moment to commence coordinated attacks across the nation. Politico published an article about an extensive DEA investigation that would have gone after terrorist kingpins, Hezbollah drug operations based in central America, Venezuela and Mexico, and money laundering operations involving international banks based in Lebanon. Despite Politico reporting the surveillance uncovered by the DEA, the Obama Administration decided to consummate the pending Iran Deal and kill the indictments which the DEA and U.S. Justice Department were ready to file with detailed preparations to rendition Hezbollah kingpins and bring them into custody from all over the world.
Prostitution
The Netherlands was a Calvinistic stronghold that had struggled for years against Spanish invasions launched on behalf of the Catholic Church. Amsterdam was very tolerant toward various religious groups. In fact, Amsterdam had already become very commercialized and prostitution, alcoholism and other vices were on display as much as the religious freedom that the Pilgrims sought. The Ancient Brethren, another group of English Separatists that had immigrated to Amsterdam earlier, lost many of their children to the worldly atmosphere of Amsterdam.
Extortion
Freemason Models. The problem is that the secrecy of the Mafia networks, modeled along the lines of Freemasonry, evolved into complex systems of extortion and political influence that still attract the most powerful politicians and industrialists in Italy, the United States and across Europe and other continents. Operating throughout the global economic system, such organized crime networks have long been adept at shifting allegiances and opportunistically provide support to opposing political movements.
Will the dollar continue as the preeminent currency for international banking and business transactions? Global bankers are not controlled by one network or group of nations. Global banking networks compete for global corporate governance modeled upon a Socialist paradigm and dressed in national and ideological rhetoric. The language of this invisible government includes but is not limited to Neo-Marxist doctrine, Fascism, ESG, Industrial Democracy, Capitalism and National Socialism. The language of international arms control was powerful during the Cold War when terms like Mutual Assured Destruction were accepted into the lexicon of the foreign policy establishment. Now the threat of alleged climate change is “
Mark Knapp Mark is a Spokane area based attorney who focuses on criminal defense, employment discrimination and advocacy on behalf of armed citizens regarding the use of lethal force and Washington state gun laws.
The fact that Mr. Kiener pursued the couple to Chabuk’s home without any attempt to call 911 and report the accusation of property damage seemed unimportant to the prosecutors and even less important to reporters. Of course, reporters usually just report what is contained in police reports and announcements from the prosecutor’s office. Investigative reporting is reserved for exposing corporations that manufacture firearms and, of course, the NRA
The Court of Appeals has held that “the amount of force that is necessary to prevent the infliction of great personal injury may vary with the number of persons the defendant reasonably believes are about to commence striking him with their fists.”
