The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 169 Gun Bans

"This is a shotgun left by my grandfather, why should it be turned in?!"

“According to the gun prohibition law, we can compensate you for purchasing this weapon based on the depreciation of the market price, without causing you any financial losses.

We have the right to shoot you dead and confiscate all firearms if you resist the gun ban. "

The old man looked at the young policeman who had just taken office in front of him, and the two militiamen behind him who pointed their guns at him, and he sighed helplessly and handed out the 'ancestral shotgun' in his hand.

The town is full of police and militiamen who go door-to-door to enforce the gun ban. Moreover, these police and militiamen are not part of the town's troops. They are all transferred from other places.

In order to prevent locals from sympathizing with locals during law enforcement, or even communicating with relatives and friends, the United States of America has made great efforts this time, and even set up a special fund for the exchange of law enforcement forces between the two places.

However, the implementation of the ban on guns has not been smooth sailing, even in this small town there have been resistance incidents!
"Owning guns is a legitimate right that God bestows on Americans. When the British ruled before, our guns were not banned. I don't agree with why the federal government confiscated our guns!"

"Well said, how can we protect ourselves against gangs and Indians without firearms?
Is it possible that the federal government can still station troops in the town 24 hours a day to protect us!

In order to survive, we cannot surrender our guns! "

bang~~~
The Commonwealth of America is not a liberal and democratic regime, but a dictatorial government ruled from top to bottom!
Yuri will naturally not be stingy about giving law enforcement the right to shoot!

Before the rebels could call others, they were shot!

At the door of a house, a young man clutched his chest and fell in a pool of blood. Next to him were the flintlock guns he swore to protect to the death.

"Damn federal government, you killed my son, I will fight you!"

Suddenly, a man with an old-fashioned shotgun rushed out of the room and aimed directly at the law enforcement police and militiamen!

These militiamen and policemen who were enforcing the law had already received strict orders, and they did not even lower their guns. As soon as the old father rushed out, several blood holes spattered on his body. Then the shotgun in his hand fell to the ground feebly, and his body naturally knelt down. He fell to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth, his body twitched a few times and then died.

At this time, the sheriff in charge of the town rushed over with a few guards, looked at the corpse in front of him, and ordered with a gloomy expression: "Resist law enforcement, everyone in this family will be arrested and taken to the district court for trial!"

Although the federal government of the United States is a dictatorship of Yuri alone, it also has its own laws. Yuri even borrowed from the previous life's separation of powers policy to achieve judicial independence!

Of course, this kind of independence has limitations, after all, the law is under Yuri...

Therefore, the laws of the federal government are very good for governing the people and governing officials. The army also has a special military law office and a court-martial to accuse high-ranking officers, but for Yuri and even the cabinet bosses, the law cannot be applied... …

The judiciary of the Commonwealth of America is divided into three levels.

The lowest level is the district court set up in cities and important towns, the upper level is the high court set up in the capital city or economic center city, and the upper level is the Supreme Court in the capital city of New York.

The higher-level judiciary has the right to invalidate the trial results of the lower-level judiciary, so if you feel that the trial of the local court is unfair, you can continue to appeal, and even appeal to the Supreme Court.

However, this is only theoretical. Generally speaking, the common people can only appeal to the High Court. Unless it is a shocking injustice case with irrefutable evidence, the Supreme Court will not accept it.

The Supreme Court often hears cases involving the powerful and wealthy.

In addition, Yuri's newly established FBI has its own small court, which can conduct trials directly without going through judicial institutions. It is also the only terrorist department in the American Federation that is beyond the judiciary.

However, the FBI is an espionage organization, and what it does is capture foreign spies and traitors internally and spy on enemy countries externally, so it naturally has a lot of power.

You can't hand over the captured traitors and spies to the courts, right? Isn't there no secret at all?

Now the basic structure of the American federal government has been determined. The cabinet is divided into seven departments and bureaus, namely, the Department of Administration, the Department of Treasury, the Department of Justice, the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Police, and the FBI.

Although the levels of these departments are the same, their status in the cabinet varies widely due to different functions.

For example, the Department of the Navy, which seems to be a member of an important department of the cabinet, is actually a Qingshui government office. The naval strength of the American Federation is almost zero, and only some shallow water inland river gunboats can be used.

However, the Ministry of the Navy manages not only ships, but also the important department of customs, so Yuri set up the Ministry of the Navy as the most important thing.

In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have much say, but it is the external window of the American Federation, and its status is also very important.

The police department is in charge of the local police. Now all the police stations in the American Federation are directly responsible to the central government. The power of the police department is naturally very important. Since the local militia is also under the indirect command of the police department, the police department is almost equal. Yu commanded all the local troops throughout the American Federation.

Now there are only two legal local garrisons in the American Federation, one is the police and the other is a half-military and half-civilian militia.

As for the armed forces raised by local dignitaries privately, they are actually illegal armed forces in the federal law of the United States, but there are so many local dignitaries that it will be difficult for the federal government of the United States to sort out them for a while.

However, Yuri naturally did not allow so many illegal armed forces in the government before going to war. Although they did not have a unified organization and leadership, Yuri would be severely hindered if unrest broke out.

This is why Yuri wants to promulgate a ban on guns in disregard of American public opinion.

The ban on guns confiscated not only the weapons in the hands of gun-wielding mobs, but also the firearms in the hands of private armed forces of local dignitaries.

Therefore, except for the mobilization of the police and militia, Napoleon's First Army has been completely dispersed to prevent serious local rebellions from breaking out.

It is normal for a few people to die when the gun ban is enforced in a small town, and the riots were quickly suppressed under the strong attitude of the government.

In the face of life, civilians are generally very realistic.

Since ancient times, it makes sense for the people not to fight against the officials. Even this group of gun-toting mobs who are used to being free and loose do not dare to be dissatisfied at all after seeing the blood.

At least on the surface, it’s beginning to cooperate with the federal government’s gun ban.
