Authorities use ‘red flag’ law to seize weapons from alleged neo-Nazi leader preparing for ‘race war’

Authorities in Seattle successfully initiated a ‘red flag’ gun law and seized a cache of guns from the alleged leader of a neo-Nazi group.

Kaleb James Cole, 24, has not been charged with a crime, but authorities were able to use a state law that allows the government to respond to petitions and seize the guns of people deemed a risk to themselves or others.

Law enforcement removed five rifles, three pistols, and other gun parts from Cole for at least one year.

In the lawsuit filed by prosecutors invoking the red flag law and seeking an extreme risk protection order, authorities said the Cole is a member of the Atomwaffen Division and is believed to be the head of the Washington state chapter. The Atomwaffen Division is a Nazi group the promotes anti-Semitism, racial cleansing, and violence.

“It appears that he has gone from espousing hate to now taking active steps or preparation for an impending ‘race war,'” police said in the petition.

Cole has been banned from entering Canada because of his ties to the organization.

“Our regional firearms enforcement unit likely prevented a massacre by someone committed to advancing a race war. Washington state residents should sleep a little easier knowing they have a team empowered to enforce firearm surrender court orders from those considered to be an extreme risk to public safety,” Dan Nolte of the Seattle City Attorney’s Office said.

    This story is being promoted to provide justification for the “red flag” laws, which are, at the core, unconstitutional, illegal and immoral. All the evil laws to strip us of our God given Rights are promoted as a “good idea” and this article is promoted to drive home that point and get sheeple on board.
