Euler Posted September 17, 2019 at 08:58 PM Share Posted September 17, 2019 at 08:58 PM TMZ (yeah TMZ, but bear with it a second) Aaron Carter's family is worried about his mental health, and so are cops. We've learned they're looking at an obscure law that could be used to take his guns away. ... Fact is ... family members have been concerned enough that L.A. County Sheriff's deputies have gone to Aaron's home for a welfare check ... especially because he flaunts his gun collection. Aaron says he owns a 9mm handgun, 2 assault rifles and other firearms as well. As for the little-used California law ... it's called a Gun Violence Restraining Order. If someone owns guns and a family member or law enforcement believes the person could use a weapon to hurt themselves or another person, the family member or cop can go to court and ask for the restraining order. A judge can take the person's guns away, and order them not to possess other guns or ammo. Our law enforcement sources tell us ... cops are looking at the law right now and deciding whether they'll go to court. And, as for the order, a lot depends on nailing down Aaron's true mental state, which is a difficult proposition because Aaron shares only what he wants to publicly share so it's hard to paint a complete picture. Such an obscure law, hardly ever discussed, who even knew it existed? Apparently not TMZ editors. EDIT: Sources close to Aaron also tell us he believes Backstreet Boys fans are the ones trolling him and causing the welfare checks due to his estranged relationship with his brother. Not that the additional quote has national impact, but I just can't leave stuff like that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted September 17, 2019 at 09:18 PM Share Posted September 17, 2019 at 09:18 PM Wife and I have been following the saga since he petitioned to get his gun rights back.Would seem his history would indicate he shouldnt be the owner of firearms! A mental history along with other sorted issues.Watch the video which when asked why he needs a ar-15 he looks at his mom and says tell them why mom. We watched the beginnings of this stuff and right away we said this guy doesnt need a firearm.We both stated that we would be reading about him killing someone in the near future.And it would be a fan or neighbor. Now there are videos of where he states he will not give up his firearms blah blah blah https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/29/aaron-carter-mental-health-assault-rifle/ Oh not a big deal, he purchased from pawn store.And says he needs to be able to own as he is inheriting over 500 guns from his dad!

Euler Posted September 17, 2019 at 09:40 PM Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 at 09:40 PM I'm not too concerned about Aaron Carter himself. If he's a human timebomb with a ticking timer, then he's no different from any other human timebomb with a ticking timer, but I just found the coverage bizarre. Red flag laws are hotly debated around the country, whichever way any particular district leans. They're the opposite of obscure. But I guess we can credit Backstreet Boys fans, miscreants all, for driving this issue into the national spotlight now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why you gotta be redflagging Aaron Carter?But in all seriousness, this is exactly why we don't need red flag laws. There's always schadenfreude busy bodies that claim they know what's best for you and society. In reality they just love to make the world suffer. Give them a little power and watch what happens.

borgranta Posted September 18, 2019 at 04:52 AM Share Posted September 18, 2019 at 04:52 AM I hope he becomes a plaintiff that causes SCOTUS to rule red flag as unconstitutional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Posted September 18, 2019 at 03:31 PM Share Posted September 18, 2019 at 03:31 PM Who is Aaron Carter? Sent from my iPad using TapatalkDoes it matter who it is? Could be one of us. Gotta call bull**** laws for what they are. You folks make it sound like taking his guns away will suddenly make all his possible problems go away. Now if he has made actual threats to someone I may think a little different but I didn't see that posted anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that RF laws are essentially nonsense, who this Aaron Carter is might work in our favor. I don't know who he is but is TMZ is saying something about him, he isn't just some "John Q. Public" like so many of us. This could lend a bit of notoriety to the questionable use of RF laws and prompt more scrutiny of their use/abuse.

Hatchet Posted September 19, 2019 at 10:54 AM Share Posted September 19, 2019 at 10:54 AM I think he is a brother of one of the backstreet boys and a pop artist himself. Some kind of thing from a genre i never listened too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:09 PM Share Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:09 PM Now it’s reported he made threats against a brother “Nick” and his pregnant wife.He was afraid since his brother got a restraining order that the cops would come for him.So he says, he called the cops first and had them come out and take his AR-15’s He’s heading out on tour and thought someone might break in and take them anyway.He’s keeping the handguns and shotgun for now, but when he gets back he will sell the AR’s to the gun shop where he bought them! He goes on to say he doesn’t need or want assault weapons anymore!See the post above, he didn’t implode but he did threaten someone!And the last we knew and read he was diagnosed with schizophrenia..........ask G, it’s out there.
