A New Jersey man is now facing the very real possibility that he may not get his guns back…and he never issued a threat of any kind.
He called up a doctor who botched his neck surgery (the doctor later sued the man for defamation) and acted “agitated.” That was enough for the government to swoop in and take his gun away.
Everyone acknowledged the man did not make a “threat,” but the fact that he said he knew where the doctor lived was enough to get his guns taken away.

This is absolutely absurd..and it will only get worse if these unconstitutional laws aren’t challenged in the SCOTUS.
A New Jersey man is waiting to find out whether he’ll ever get his guns back, after the government seized his firearms and ammunition under the state’s new red flag law at the behest of his former doctor who sued him for defamation.
On Sept. 25, police confiscated guns from the home of Alfred Conti, 56, after a surgeon who operated on him, Dr. Matthew Kaufman, and Kaufman’s attorney, James Maggs, called authorities to complain that Conti called the lawyer acting agitated.
Conti had been in pain following the neck surgery Kaufman conducted on him, and had an ongoing dispute with the physician. After Conti wrote negative online reviews against Kaufman’s practice, The Plastic Surgery Center in Shrewsbury, Kaufman and Maggs sued Conti for defamation over the summer.
Even after being sued, Conti called Maggs twice, begging for Kaufman to treat him for his pain. In the second phone call, Asbury Park Press reported, “Conti used expletives and threatened to bring the police and media with him to force Kaufman to see him. He also said he knew where Maggs and Kaufman lived.”
The attorney had recorded the conversation, and played it in court during a hearing on Thursday.
Conti’s lawyer, Jason Seidman, asked Maggs if Conti directly threatened to inflict violence. Maggs conceded that he did not, but said that after Conti mentioned knowing where Maggs and Kaufman lived, “that, to me, was something that made me very alarmed.”
Officer Dan Campanella with the Rumson Police Department also spoke at the hearing, telling the court that when police served the order to take Conti’s guns, “He was very cooperative in assisting us and his conversation with us. As far as (discussing) what had occurred, he maintained that he never threatened anybody and has rightful grievances with both parties.” [The Blaze [2]]
